JESUS AND SINCERITY OF SPEECH LESSON TEXT Exodus 20:16; Prov
erbs 26:23-28; Matt. 26:69-75. MEMORY SELECTION Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor. Ephesians 4:25.
God is truth, and therefore any
kind of lie is evidence of godlessoess. Satan is the father of lies . (John 8:44) and the father of all v liars.
I. The Prohibition of Lying (Exod.
20:16).
This "thou shalt not" of God has
to do primarily with perjury; that is, the telling of an untruth in court. I
This is one of the worst forms of
lying, because it may result in the
one against whom it is practiced losing his liberty, his life or his property, or the destruction of his good reputation.
It is obvious, however, tnat we
commandment covers all forms of lying, whether in business, in social contacts, in the home, or in the church. We might do well to con
sider what tne tiiDie nas to say about whisperers, talebearers, backbiters and others (see Lev. 19:16; U Cor. 12:20). II. The Purpose of Lying (Prov. 26:23-26). - Sometimes as one hears the continuous stream of lies which flow from the lips of some men, one is apt to feel that it is just a bad habit of careless talking which has be
come a part of the life. . There is, however, a real purpose behind the lies of men, and that is to deceive in order to get gain or advantage, or to cover up hatred. How much of all this there is in the world today yes, and in the church. Those who profess to be the followers of Christ use the devices of the devil in their relations with fellow members of the church. Christian workers who wish to appear greater than they are, or to look greater than others, use deceit and lying. With what results?
HI. The Punishment of Lying (Prov. 26:26-28; Matt. 26:75). . . One lie leads to, in fact calls for, another, and soon the liar has digged a pit so big that he stumbles
end falls into it. He is like one wno
itarts a great stone rolling, and lo,
ft rolls back on him and crushes him. Yes, in due time he is shown up before the entire congregation (v. 26). w ' ' Then, too, the lie does harm to pthers. - No matter what its nature a half truth, or a truth used to jleceive, or an outright falsehoodit bears awful fruit in the life- of the one toward whom it is directed, ' or . whose name is involved (v. 28). Once started, it is often impossible io stop. One cannot ever catch up with a lie. But there is also a horrible and bitter fruitage of lies in the life and the heart of the liar. Lies do "come home to. roost," and they make the heart and life of anyone who has a vestige of decency and honor left, miserably unhappy. Consider Peter (Matt. 20:75). It is of the utmost importance that we stress before children anu young people the awful results of lying, as well as its sinfulness. Lying and YceH are so commonly accepted in our day that many regard it as all right if you don't get caught. E i!t- the fact is, you always do get aught by God yes, and by your evil lie. . IV. The Practice of Lying (Matt. 2G. 60-74). Sadly enough, the constant lying of ,he world s nns to have infected t:ie aiicds and hearts of Christians. Instead of being cleansed from this worldly defilement they carry its sv.ful tendencies into the church. , The great lie within the Church, ntut one Of Satan's prize exhibits, is, the falsehood of. modern religious liberalism (so-called), which is essentially a- denigl of real New Testament Christianity. Jesus said (v; 42) that if God is our Father we will accept him as the Christ. The one who speaks sweet words about the example, the manhood, the leadership of the Master, and who denies hirri his place as God,' is cleaiV in mind here as the follower of the father of Jies. Someone has suggested that the great spiritual problem of our day is not the conflict between the Church and the world; nor is it to determine how the Church can best serve in the world, but rather what to do about the world which has gotten into the Church. How did worldliness get into the Church? The members brought it there after they had gone out and warmed themselves at the world's fire, and fellowshiped with the world in ungodly living. , The denials made by Peter seem almost unbelievable in the life of one who had been in immediate fellowship with the Lord and who had seen his glory. We have here a revelation of the fact that "the heart is deceitful above' all things, and desperately wicked; who can know It?" (Jr..J7;9).
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES "Man" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, September 8. The Golden Text is: "Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright" (Ecclesiastes 7: 29). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. And Hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him" (I John 3: 18, 19). "For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself" (Galatians 5 13, 14). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "When we realize that there is one Mind, the divine law of loving our neighbor as ourselves is unfolded; whereas a belief in many ruling minds hinders man's normal drift towards the one Mind, one God, and leads human thought into opposite channels where selfishness reigns'(p. 205).
