Proverbs
Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment. (Proverbs 12:19 ESV) Throughout the Bible we are called to the standard of truth telling, but nowhere more graphically than in the book of Proverbs, where a man “with crooked speech” is called “worthless” and “wicked” (6:12). Dishonesty is bad stuff! Wisdom insists on clinging doggedly to the truth no matter what, and not only cling to it but also reveal it to others who need to know it. Do you find it hard to do this?
