In fact, some of us believe that we can’t function in society without telling our share of “little white lies.” - Abraham here demonstrates aptly for us both the reasons we lie and the consequences of our untruths. WHY WE LIE: 1. We get stuck in ...read more

Only God has the right to make a name for us. Abraham submitted and was exalted, the people of Babel exalted and were humbled.
