2 Timothy 3.13 - Liar! Liar!

2 Timothy 3.13 - Liar! Liar!

Two American sportsmen have recently been spotlighted for truth deficiency. A biker lied and a footballer was lied to. The children’s diddy about “sticks and stones” is wrong. Words CAN hurt. Paul saw this, “evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived” (2 Timothy 3.13).  “Deceiving” – telling lies – leads to “being deceived” – believing your own lies! People can spin their own reality. Their bubble of lies can grow ever larger. But one day Truth will pop our false façade.  Liars will get caught by their own lies, eventually. Among the grim list of those thrown into endless hell are “…all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur” (Revelation 21.8). Thankfully, “he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him” (John 7.18).
