Do not lie. Some how we have a sliding scale for lying. There is an “innocent” white lie and then there is a “bold faced” lie. However, God’s word does not teach this sliding scale. Christians are called to speak truth, because they are the sons and daughters of a God who only speaks truth. We need to seek to be truth tellers. It is easy to keep compromising once you start. It is easy to start reasoning away what it is ok to tell, sharing half-lies, or not telling all the information so that technically you did not say anything false, but you lead to a false conclusion. This is still lying and is wrong in the eyes of a holy God.
