August 14, 2022
This is the first in a series of messages called Little Big Things- issues that we consider small and insignificant but God views as important. Our topic today is the importance of telling the truth.
Different Kinds of Lying
• Bold-faced lies
• Half-truths
• False impressions
• Flattery
• False excuses
• White lies
Common Ways That We Lie
• We love to exaggerate numbers
• We love to embellish our accomplishments
• We love to spice up our stories
