Introduction:  The fourth chapter of 1 Timothy associates the latter days with a time of lies.  In our day we have reduced lies to bad lies and white lies.  We justify reasons for not telling the truth and it is so much a part of us that our conscience doesn’t even bother us any more.  God, however, has not allowed the day in which we live to reduce His hatred for lies.  We may allow it to go on and even participate in the sinful practice, but rest assured that God is going to put an end to it real soon.

1. THE ORIGIN OF LIES

2. Satan and Lies (John 8:44Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
   See All...; Genesis 3:1-4 [1] Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? [2] And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: [3] But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

Conclusion:  Are you righteous with your lips or are you following wickedness after the father of lies?  Realize that the recipient of your lies is not just men, but that lie travels up to God’s ears and He abhors it.  Come clean.  Be honest in your dealings.  Lie not one to another.
