Truth vs. Lies
Falsehood flies, and the truth comes limping after it. (Jonathan Swift, author of Gulliver’s Travels)
Have you ever noticed that newspapers tend to run sensational stories about celebrities on the front page? It may or may not be verified and very often it’s biased. But, when it’s found out later not to be true, the follow-up story (if there is one) is hidden in a back page somewhere. We’re too often prone to pass on unsubstantiated gossip, and the truth may never be mentioned.
Don’t try to hide the truth. (Jeremiah 38:14)
Truthful words stand the test of time, but lies are soon exposed. (Proverbs 12:19)
