I Am Bill’s Hands
by Mark Roberts
I am the primary way Bill controls and manipulates his world. I can do the most delicate tasks, like thread a needle, and then do the most physically demanding work, like pound nails in a two-by-four with a hammer. If it weren’t for me, Bill would have difficulty eating, driving a car, writing his name or holding his Bible. I am Bill’s hands.
The Tangled Web

It is easy. It is common. “Sin has many tools,” Oliver Wendell Holmes said, “but a lie is the handle that fits them all” (Autocrat of the Breakfast Table). God’s Word informs us that lying is designed to mislead and deceive whether by words or actions. Since lying is condemned by God, it is necessary to understand what the Bible teaches about this wicked act.
