The ninth commandment states‚ “Thou Shalt not lie.” Psalms 15:1-3 says‚ “God expects truth to permeate every facet of our lives.” I take that to mean both our personal lives as well as our professional

While reading “In Flanders Fields” by John McCrae and “Here Dead We Lie” by A.E. Housman‚ I made sure to decode every word that the poems contained in order to self-interpret the pieces of literature. These World War I based poems carry significant stories of our once war torn planet. For example‚ “Here Dead We Lie” is a short‚ yet meaningful‚ poem about nationalism and pride towards ones country. In this poem‚ the author discusses the fact that soldiers often chose to die for their country instead

Why we lie Lying has been around since the creation of human. Adam and Eve lied to god because they were scared after they ate from the forbidden apple tree.

Life’s Biggest Questions by Erik Thoennes was a great book explaining many fundamental Christian doctrines. I found it that It was rather geared towards new believers or believers in general than non-believers.
