Leviticus 19:11 You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another.
Some of the laws in the Old Testament are difficult for us to understand and live by in our modern ways, but who can say they do not understand this verse?
I have been to job interviews in the past where it became very clear very quickly the agent who put me forward did not tell the truth about what I had done in my past. What did I gain? Nothing. The agent? Disrespect!
Dealing properly and honestly with others should allow us to gain more, not because we aim to gain more but because others will respect us more.
Dealing with youth in my job means being open and honest to show them they can be too – they need role models not lies.
