The Lord Loves Honesty

 

Leviticus 19:11 (NIV)  "'Do not steal. "'Do not lie. "'Do not deceive one another.'"

Proverbs 11:1 (NIV) The LORD abhors dishonest scales, but accurate weights are his delight.

Psalm 37:21 (NIV) The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous give generously.

Colossians 3:9-10 (NIV) 9  Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10  and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.

To be honest as this world goes, is to be one man picked out of a thousand.  William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
