Evening: Psalms 91, 92; John 8:33-47
In his book The People of the Lie, Scott Peck claims that evil is characterized by lies. Peck says human illness is born in the conflict between lies and truth. Maybe someone imposes a false version of reality on others because they find the truth unbearable. So, lies end up masquerading as truth. Living a lie, even one, destroys the human spirit, because we really want to know and to be our true selves. Lies make slaves of us. Lies propagate more lies and evil flourishes. Life does offer a choice, though – Lies or truth? Slavery or freedom?
