FROM TODAY’S READING (4/12/2019)...
“In England, nearly 300 years ago, there was a merchant commander named Captain Fudge. This historical figure became famous for his lies and exaggerations about adventures on the high seas. His crew members were so accustomed to his tales that they would call each other ‘Fudge’ when one was straying from the truth. By the mid 1800s, children in America were readily referring to cheating as ‘fudging.’ Today many people still use the term when dealing with deception. Exaggerations are just as deceptive as blatant lies.”
Lee Stobel, Seeds Tape Ministry, (11/7/93)
Colossians 3:9-10 (NLT) Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds. Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him.
Ephesians 4:25 (NLT) So stop telling lies. Let us tell our neighbors the truth, for we are all parts of the same body.
