Wow...Not a Sermon but just Sharing the facts of life

The fact that all religions teach us to honour integrity, practice morality and live by the truth; it has not deterred humans from lying which may result in a crime being committed. Is religion the root cause of any of our troubles as evidenced by the sorrows we see around us? The answer is NO. We are the creators of our own sufferings for manipulating religion. God gave us a special gift in the MIND together with a body and a soul. He also gave us another power which I called CHOICE. It is choice that plays a role when we tell a lie. When the mind is exhausted of decisions to tell the truth, it sails through a sea of temptations and eventually decide to settle with a lie. The irony about lying is, it has been filtered by choice, and it uses choice. Even with a temptation, GOD has given us the power of choice to get out of it. If we do not use this power wisely by choosing the right from the wrong, we are indeed bowing to the powers of evil and submitting to the devil.
