The story is told of Billy and Ruth Graham strolling through an old cemetery when they came across a tombstone that read, "Here lies a honest man and a politician." Bill remarked, "Look Ruth, they have buried two men in the same grave!"
I am sure many of you have watched the Presidential debates and I for one am glad they are over. Throughout the debate, the two "debaters" challenged each other by saying their statements were not true. Truth is a very rare commodity today, especially in politics. Americans have become accustomed to lies told by our officials, but being accustomed to lies does not make it right.
God places a high premium on truth: "The Lord detests lying lips but He delight in men who are truthful." Proverbs 12:22 (See also: Proverbs 29:2) In the end, truth will always win out!
