SOME LIARS I HAVE KNOWN.
The 9th Commandment
Exodus 20:16
Dr. Jerry Vines
This week the book by Kitty Kelly entitled, Nancy Reagan, The Unauthorized Biography, has hit the bookstores and skyrocketed to number one or the best seller list in America. It has created quite a sensation in the country because it is an open frontal attack on the

As I was thinking about this particular book this week, a verse of Scripture came to my mind. The last chapter of Revelation, the 15th verse - it talks about those who are going to be outside the city of God. Among those the Bible says will be those who love and who make a lie. I had not noticed that combination before, but the verse says those who love a lie and those who make a lie. There seems to be something about us that causes us to either want to tell a lie or to want to hear a lie. In fact, we have a whole new field of journalism and writing and publication today -- the scandal sheet. They are absolutely ridiculous - the tab ...
