* Lying is to get yourself out of an embarrassing situation.
Sometimes, in order to get rid of the embarrassing situation, it often happens that we are easy to lie. Facing the facts, what we are really afraid of is getting hurt. When we face up to our bad behavior, we can't help telling a lie, whitewashing our mistakes and excusing ourselves. There is a saying that "if you tell a lie, you have to tell it with countless lies." This is very realistic. When we make a mistake, it's hard to admit, "Yes, I did it. Sorry, I am willing to take responsibility. " When you are responsible for your actions and don't hide the truth, you will find that the other party's reaction to your responsible behavior is a shocked expression. Isn't that great?
* Talking tactfully is better than lying.
Telling the truth should be caring, decent and full of sincere care. Sincerity and trust between people are closely related. This is especially true in the relationship between husband and wife. If a wife asks her husband, "Do you like my new skirt? Does it look good on me? " What should I say if my husband doesn't like it and thinks it doesn't look good on his wife? In this case, the husband had better tell his feelings honestly. The relationship between people is based on mutual trust, and only sincerity and frankness can gain trust. It is skillful to answer such a question. Answering "I think you look better in other skirts" is like saying "Ha, you are too fat in this skirt!" Much better. It's much better to be clever than to lie.
Tell the truth or lie? Ephesians 4: 15 says to "tell the truth with love." The word "with love" means skill. When telling the truth, we should pay attention to the way of expression, take care of each other's feelings, and make him easy to accept the facts. Don't present the facts naked in front of each other in plain language, stab his heart and hurt his feelings. It's cruel.
* You should not hide the truth from patients.
To tell the truth, some people don't tell the whole truth, but hide part of it because the other person is not ready to accept the whole truth? It might be useful. But will it be counterproductive to hide part of the truth, and the other party will doubt it together? This is a question worth thinking about.
In the face of terminally ill patients, you should use God's word to guide them to know that death is "the only way in the world (1 Kings 2: 2)", "Blessed is the man who dies in the Lord (Rev. 14: 13)" and "Everything belongs to him, so trust him and belong to him. 165438) Lu 16: 19/3 1 `Lazarus and the rich man' If the patient has a clear understanding of Jesus and death, then the truth has no influence on the patient. Instead, it will make patients actively pursue God.
* God loves Rahab's faith, not her lies.
Someone gave an example of Rahab lying: two spies were spying on Jericho. Rahab hid them and deceived those who came to ask questions. Since Rahab lied, why does the Bible call her righteous? The Bible calls her righteous, not because she lies, but because she has faith in the Lord and believes that what he has done is right. So, confidence has two spies. God likes her confidence, not lies. Lying is a trivial matter for a prostitute. As far as her knowledge and ability are concerned, she can only save people in her usual way. But in daily life, we lie not to save people, but to save ourselves. So we won't lose face. Therefore, we should tell the truth according to the teaching of the Bible, because more and more people lie in the times, and it seems that this society can't live without lying. The biggest difference between the children of God family and the world is to make the world think that we are more honest than them, which is our witness. If you are dishonest in the church, as a result, no one can trust each other. What the world lacks is trustworthy people. Although not telling lies will make you suffer immediate losses, an honest person will gain the trust of others in the long run.
