Me: Prodigal are you having a party and you did not invite me?
Prodigal: No, I am not having a party….
Me: You’re fibbin’ and your feet don’t match.
Prodigal: Ok, you caught me, maybe I am having a party. I just didn’t want to hurt your feelings.
Me: Lying is still a sin Prodigal.
I will share from Tim Chester’s book You Can Change
Sowing to the Spirit means saying yes to whatever strengthens our Spirit-inspired desires. As we’ve seen , we sin when we believe lies about God. Sowing to the Spirit means filling our hearts with the truth about God. We sin because sinful desires matter more to us than God. We sow to the Spirit when we cultivate our love for God.
You can believe God today because He loves you and He loves me. We do not have to follow lies even if they do not sound harmful. Lies always hurt relationships even if that relationship is just between you and God.
Ephesians 2:13
But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
