Jesus said His disciples would let their ‘yes’ be ‘yes’ and their ‘no’ be ‘no’ (Matthew 5:37). This statement from the Master reflects a long-standing moral norm God has always demanded of His people – total and complete honesty. In the modern era, the sanctity of truth-telling has been questioned by ethicists who teach there are occasion where it is permissible, even obligatory, that people should lie. Evangelist Shahe Gergian examines this issue and looks to the word of God for answers and clarity.
