The word for today is - Lying !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Lying !
 
Let us first give a definition as to what a lie is according to Webster’s dictionary:To make a false statement in order to evade the truth. To make a statement that one knows is false, especially with the intent to deceive. Also,knowing your giving a wrong impression, a false image. The word says in James 3:14,  But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth. It is certainly true that if we knowingly tell someone that we are going to do something while at the same time knowing that we have no intentions of following through on our promise or commitment, then, we are guilty of lying , there was intent to deceive that person. God always keep His Word. God still keeps His Word today and is faithful to keep every promise,He isn't like man. That is why He is reliable and we can trust Him always. Thank you God for your word is true. We are called to be like Him. Romans 13:13 tells us we are to walk "honestly." We are not to walk in  "rioting and drunkenness". 1 Corinthians 3:3 tells us that "envying, strife and division"  this is a sign of a carnal mind. Galatians 5:20 lists strife as one of the works of the flesh. Are we walking in the Spirit or in flesh? Thank you God for your word. Amen !
