LIVE IN THE TRUTH
When someone lives in the truth she is an honest and fair person, with a clean mind, someone with integrity. She is reliable and trustworthy, and her live is transparent, she won't pretend to be someone or something that she is not - what you see is what you get. Someone who lives in the truth will never manipulate others with words or deeds. She always speaks the whole truth and is a reliable witness. She will keep her promises and her yes means yes.

DO YOU LIVE IN THE TRUTH?
According to the dictionary truth is a state of being real, true and genuine. The truth is ALL the facts about something.

TESTIMONY ON TRUTHFUL LIPS
Can you give the same testimony that Paul gives?
As a Christian, I'm telling you the truth. I'm not lying. The Holy Spirit, along with my own thoughts, supports me in this. (Rom 9:1 GW)
We are sure that our consciences are clear because we want to live honourably in every way. (Heb 13:18 GW)

Can you proclaim these words like David did?

THE TRUTH MAKES THE DEVIL BLUSH
Thomas Fuller said: Truth makes the devil blush; let's speak the truth and shame the devil!

DO NOT TEACH YOUR TONGUE TO LIE
Lying is both unjust and unkind, and tends to destroy all faith and friendship among people. Lying makes us like the devil according to the Bible he is the father of all lies (see John 8:44)

Someone said: The truth may hurt, but a lie can cut a deeper wound

Don't talk out of both sides of your mouth; avoid careless banter, white lies, and gossip. (Prov 4:24 MSG)

FATHER OF THE LIE
From the very beginning the Devil was a murderer and has never been on the side of truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he is only doing what is natural to him, because he is a liar and the father of all lies. (John 8:44 GNB)

THE LORD HATES LIES
I hate lying, injustice, and violence. (Zec 8:17 GNB)
There are seven things that the Lord hates and cannot tolerate: A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that kill innocent people, a mind that thinks up wicked plans, feet that hurry off to do evil, a witness who tells one lie after another, and someone who stirs up trouble among friends. (Prov 6:16 GNB)

FILL YOUR MIND WITH THE TRUTH
Fill your minds with those things that are good and that deserve praise: things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and honorable. (Phil 4:8 GNB)

You cannot change the truth, but the truth can change you - so, keep your mind on the truth!

HEART-SEARCHING
Let us put ourselves to a test on the truth. Answer the following questions for yourself:

Do I always speak the whole truth?
Am I honest when I give a compliment?
Do I always mean what I say?
Do I speak the truth even if I know it can bring me into trouble?
If I tell about something that happened, do I leave things out, or exaggerate to make it sound more serious?
Do I sometimes tell a lie and call it a white lie?
Do I carry any burden because of a lie that I had told?
Do I feel that honesty is a worthy principle, but don't apply it 100%

CONFESS AND COME CLEAN
Maybe you found that too many of your answers are YES, and you feel guilty and sorry for lies that you told or lived. Just take a few quiet minutes now and confess it to the Lord, tell Him about any lie, say that you are sorry and make a decision to live in the truth from now on. In 1 John 1:9 we find this good news: But if we confess our sins to God, He will keep his promise and do what is right: He will forgive us our sins and purify us from all our wrongdoing.

NOW IS THE TIME FOR TRUTHFUL LIPS!
Lying makes a problem part of the future; truth makes a problem part of the past (~Rick Pitino)

NOW is the best time to make a decision to speak the truth, ALWAYS. Truth has no special time of its own. Its hour is now - always.

THE TRUTH IS PRECIOUS - MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE IT
Buy truth whatever it may cost, sell it not, whatever may be offered
Buy truth - don't sell it for love or money (Prov 23:23 MSG)

*** I also found this scripts: Zacharia 8 (NIV)v 16 & 17: 16 These are the things you are to do: Speak the truth to each other, and render true and sound judgment in your courts; 17 do not plot evil against your neighbor, and do not love to swear falsely. I hate all this, declares the LORD.
