"LIVING A LIE"

                           LIVING A LIE

          Many people live a miserable life because

         of  living a lie or constantly lying. Those

        who live  and practice lying will           

        find themselves condemned to live in hell

        eternally.  (Revelation. 22:14-15) (Revelation

         21:8)        

      "Truth is always consistent with itself, and

          needs nothing to help it out.  It is always

      near at hand, sits upon our lips, and is ready

          to drop out before we are aware. A lie is

      troublesome,  and sets man's invention upon

          the rack, and one lie needs many more

      to make it good. It is like building upon a false

          foundation, which continually stands in

      need of props to shore it up , and proves at

          last more changeable than to have raised a 

     substantial building at first upon a true and

         firm foundation." --(ADDISON)

     "A lie that is half truth is ever a black lie"

      (TENNYSON)

     "One lie engenders another. Once  told

        the liar has to go on in his course of

     lying; it is the penalty of his lying"

    (F. JACOX)

It is very evident as we study the Bible, that

God expects us to always be truthful in all that we say

and do.
