TELL THE TRUTH

I heard of a 12-year old boy who was a key witness in a lawsuit. One of the lawyers, after intense questioning, asked, “Your father told you what to say, didn’t he?”

“Yes,” answered the boy.

“Now tell us,” pursued the lawyer, “what were his instructions?”

“Well,” replied the boy, “Father told me the lawyers would try to tangle me in my testimony; but if I would just be careful and tell the truth, I could say the same thing every time.”

“A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who speaks lies will not escape” (Proverbs 19:5).

Yes we must speak the truth always. When you tell a lie you then have to tell another lie to cover that one and another one to cover that one and before long you forgot what the first lie was and you are caught in your own trap to rigged with you lies. Truth will set you free.

From a very early age, even before my family regularly attended church, I can remember my father instilling in me that you can never get in trouble by speaking the truth. If you tell the truth, you never have to worry about later remembering what you told this person or that person.
