Ephesians 4:25
TODAY’S VERSE:
Ephesians 4:25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one body.
THREE STORIES:
> Abraham & Sarah: Genesis 12:1-20 Genesis 20:1-7
> Reuben: Genesis 37:19-34
> Ananias & Sapphira: Acts 5:1-11
WHY DID THEY (O.K., we) LIE?
Psalm 5:4 Psalm 101:5 Proverbs 19:9
To avoid pain ?
Fear rejection ?
Social pressure ?
To impress ?
In all of these we are putting faith in our lies , not in God .
BEFORE YOU BUTT IN,
Proverbs 12:17 Proverbs 12:20 Proverbs 27:6 Zechariah 8:16 Matthew 23:1-4
ASK: | What is my motive ? |
