Are you a reliable person? Are you someone that people trust to always tell the truth? Speaking the truth is incredibly important for anyone pursuing the Christian life. Jeff Cavins addresses the idea of lying being plastic. He discusses the impact of lying and the importance of speaking the truth at all times.
