1 John 2:25 [25] And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. A promise can be no greater than the one who is making the promise. Some people make promises that they cannot keep. Others make promises that they can keep, but their track record of keeping promises is not very good. Promise keeping is not always an easy task.

Psychologists say the average person lies two to three times every 10 minutes. While reading the article, I must confess, I wondered if it was true or a lie. It certainly sounds unbelievable. There are three things that never cease to amaze me about lying. Those who tell the lie, the content of the lie and those who choose to believe the lie. …
