The truth is lying’s easy. Lying requires no special knowledge, skill, or ability. It comes naturally.

There are several types of Lies Which ones do you tell?

1) The intentional lie is when a person knows he is lying and does it anyway.
2) The accidental lie is when a person sincerely believes that he is telling the truth but isn’t.
3) The truth twisting lie is when a person tries to convince himself and others that he isn’t really lying but he actually is.
4) The dodging lie is when a person does all he can to avoid telling the whole truth while trying to make people think that he is.
5) The silent lie where people quietly try to make people falsely believe that they don’t know something that they do know.
6) The commitment lie is when a person makes a commitment and then forgets or neglects to follow through.
7) The protection lie is to distort the truth so as not to offend someone or hurt their feelings.

The Bible offers several ways to avoid lying:

1) Speak the truth in love. (Ephesians 4:25)
2) Decide and faithfully commit to stop lying. (Colossians 3:9-10)
3) Confess your sins to one another. (James 5:16)
4) Walk in the light. (1 John 1:7)
5) Be led by God’s Spirit (the Spirit of truth). (John 16:13)
6) Humble yourself under the mighty hand of God. (1 Peter 5:6)
7) Repent and fully receive God’s forgiveness for all the lies you’ve ever told. (1 John 1:9)
8) Let God continually shine in your heart. (2 Corinthians 4:6)
9) Daily devour the Bible and get to know the truth so it can set you free. (John 8:31-32)
10) Begin to regularly and faithfully meet with a group of people who you can be totally open and honest with and who can spur you on toward honesty and encourage you. (Hebrews 10:24-25)

The more types of lies that you tell, the greater will be your fear of truth. Instead of hiding behind various types of lies, train yourself to be completely truthful so that you can stop living a fake, make-believe lifestyle. The closer you are to being totally truthful, the less you have to fear being caught in a lie.

If you believe that Jesus is alive act like you do. Listen to and obey Him throughout each day!

Christianity without ongoing surrender to the real, active, and demonstrated presence and direct leadership of the living, resurrected Jesus is dishonest. It falls far short of the faith described in the Book of Acts.
