How important is truth?  How important is truth to you?  It doesn’t matter whether or not you are in God’s church.  When you converse with someone you hope you are giving the truth to them and them to you.  We do have a 9th commandment “Thou Shall Not Lie”.  We should take to this both in heart and mind.  What does God say about the prohibition on lying and how important it is to him that we not lie?  How much lying is in our world today in both the media, world events and close to home?
