Abraham began his trust-walk ...read more

Actually, this is the third major failure of Abraham recorded in scripture after he came into the land of Canaan. The first of these failures was his lie in Egypt that Sarah was his ...read more

    Would I Lie To You? (Abraham On Honesty And Lying)

    This passage uses Abraham’s deception as a chance to look at why we fudge the truth so often and what the consequences of our lies are.

    - Lies are a common part of our everyday lives. 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

    For the 2nd time in his life, Abraham passes his wife off as his sister. How can he be such a great model of Godly faith when he acted out of fear?
