my desk-side webster says that a fib is "an inconsequential" lie. and what does God say about lying? this website brought up an interesting verse...
proverbs 6:16-19
there are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him:
haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
AGH.
I totally thought about lying and then went ahead with the lie because it made my work communication sssooooo much easier. and I suppose easier is the root of all evil :(
forgive me Lord because I have sinned and I'm sure I will rush to sin again.
wait
maybe I should pray, help me Lord to find the strength not to sin like this again?
fascinatingly enough, that article pointed out that those "little white lies" dull our conscience. and I think that's completely true! just like making daily dates with God and the bible is slowly uprighting my personal structure, practicing daily deceit makes all evils look less dangerous and less disgusting.
