He Who Would Lie...

(Pro 7:16 KJV) I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.

Adultery again.  You would think that Solomon could find another topic.  Maybe it is so frequent because we need to be reminded.  Maybe is to so frequent to help us understand that the moral depravity of America today is nothing unusual.  I am reasonably sure that my sphere has very little going on, if any.  That does not mean that the culture is not guilty.

It also does not mean that we need to accept that as normal.  It does not mean that we need to accept it at all.  In the past few months two people in the broadcast media who were supposed to be solid conservatives have dumped their wives.  I don’t know what was involved.  In a real sense it is none of my business.  What is my business is accepting their opinions as readily as I did before.  If people can’t keep their marriages in order how can I expect them to be reliable on the news?

So?  Always walk with discernment.  One of the pastors I used to know used to jokingly say, “Don’t loan this man any money because he who would lie will also cheat.”  Or was it “he who will cheat will also lie”?  Either way, the principle is the same.
