Lying and Your Home Business

Teeny lies, little white lies, and big whoppers–do lies have a place in business? Well, pick up any newspaper and read any business section and you would think that lies and business go hand-in-hand. But, what about in your small, home-based business? Will telling even the smallest lies help or hurt your business overall (not to mention, how will they affect your karma?). When you read those business articles and reports on CEOs who seem to get away with murder, not to mention plenty of lies along the way, it can start to seem like lies are just as much … Continue reading →

Week in Review: White Lies to White Rags

This week I talked about the potential damage white lies can do, a lesson we can teach our children when a siren sounds, God’s “valentine” to us, being the woman I want to be, and an analogy of sin. In Dishonesty and the Little White Lies, I wanted to talk about the potential dangers of telling even half truths. I don’t know a person alive who hasn’t lied and even those of us who value integrity and are better at avoiding outright lies often have a hard time with little white lies and half truths when used with the best … Continue reading →

Dishonesty and the Little White Lies

What are little white lies? I’m sure all of us have used them from time to time. Aren’t they the little half-truths that aren’t intended to hurt anyone? Satan is full of these deceptive sugar coated lies and most of us may find ourselves eating them (some of us literally) on a daily basis. It’s true not all white lies are done with malicious motives. Making up a story to conceal a surprise party, or telling your children that Santa brought some of the Christmas gifts for them, are hard for me to personally justify. I struggle with the deceit … Continue reading →

Moms: Your Child’s Behavior Problems May Be Caused By Your Partner Changes

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have completed a study which found that when a child is exposed to multiple transitions in his or her mother’s live-in partners, aggressive behaviors are the result. Primarily in white children, the study determined that when a child fourteen or younger had endured more than two changes in mom’s romantic relationships the troubling behaviors increased. The correlation was not found when mothers kept their dating partners outside the home, living separately. Yet if there were at least three different live-in relationships, which would include marriages or cohabitating lovers, it seemed to trigger significant behavioral difficulties … Continue reading →

Demonic Doors

Demonic oppression happens a number of ways. We as believers genuinely in Christ cannot be possessed by demons because what fellowship has light with darkness (2 Corinthians 6:14). This does not mean that we can’t open doors for demonic oppression in our lives. As a Christian, I believe the Holy Spirit will guide us to truth as we seek the Lord. God is gracious to work in us, changing our hearts to desire what He wills for us. Still, not everyone is receptive or at the point in their walk where they discern things in their lives that can draw … Continue reading →

Would You Date a Proven Liar?

I’m not going to mention the name of the show, although some of you will likely know the one I’m talking about. I don’t want to name it or link to it, because it doesn’t fit our “rated PG” preferences here. In fact, I ended up turning it off due to the graphic language and content, but I did learn something from the parts I did watch. The show has a person meet with two other people, potential dates, and ask them several questions. What they don’t know is that their responses are being recorded and processed with a lie … Continue reading →
