How to Stop Lying
I wrote this article about excuses people have used for lying as well as Biblical resources about lying.
So, how does one stop lying?
Recognize it’s wrong to lie.
Learn how to have humility and remorse.
Repent and ask for forgiveness for lying.
Figure out why you’ve lied.
Do the emotional and mental work you need to do in order to stop lying.
Live the type of life and lifestyle which doesn’t cause you to want to lie.
If there are questions you don’t want to answer or parts about you and your life that you don’t want to share, tell the truth by stating that you don’t want to share.
If the questions come from a loved one, tell this person why you don’t want to share.
If you’re in a partnership or close friendship, your partner or best friend has a right to know why you won’t share.
If the questions come from intrusive strangers or organizations etc., don’t say anymore. Plead the 5th amendment.
Accept the repercussions for your lies.
Accept the repercussions for the truth.
Accept the repercussions for not sharing about yourself with loved ones
