Telling a lie is the handle that fits all other sins. Once trust is broken, it is hard to regain. (Exodus 20:16 KJV) Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. (Psalm 116:11 NIV) And in my dismay, I said, "All men are liars." (Prov 12:22 KJV) Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.
