SPIRITUAL THEMES

ON DECEPTION

The art of life is to show your hand. There is no diplomacy like candor. You may lose by it now and then, but it will be a loss well gained if you do. Nothing is so boring as having to keep up a deception.
--E. V. Lucas

Beware of altruism. It is based on self-deception, the root of all evil.
--Excerpt from the notebooks of Lazarus Long, from Robert Heinlein's "Time Enough for Love"

The only charm of marriage is that it makes a life of deception necessary for both parties.
--Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)

I don’t think this movie could have been made if people didn’t sneak around behind each others’ backs to find out “answers.” Hundreds of thousands of private investigators are employed each year by peoples’ lack of trust in one another. However, that doesn’t change the importance of choosing higher ground. It is important for each of us to choose the noblest action and walk with integrity when it comes to dealing with other human beings. Lies and deceptions will make themselves known without our help. And then there’s prayer… I believe God answers prayer. If someone believes a partner or teenage child is lying, it is better to pray that God reveal the truth than to dirty our own hands for quick answers. Here are some thoughts from the Word.
--Melinda Ledman

1 Peter 1:14 – As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be Holy, because I am holy.”
1 Peter 2:21 & 22 – To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. “He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.”
James 5:16 – The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
1 Thess. 5:22-24 – Avoid every kind of evil. May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it.
