True witnesses
Dec 11, 2022 • Greg Gardiner
The second last of the Ten Commandments is a call to truth telling. The old saying "Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me" simply isn't true. Lies hurt people deeply. The Bible describes Satan as the father of lies - he loves it when we lie, because he knows it is so relationally damaging. We worship God when we do not bear false witness against our neighbour.
