As parents, one of our non-negotiables with our children was lying. Proverbs 6:16-18 records, “There are six things that the Lord hates, seven are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue…” Thus armed, we parented with these written values of God as our standard. As a result we attempted to meet each of those seven things the Lord hates with automatic discipline and instruction. Thankfully, our children were usually reluctant to fabricate deliberate lies. And God in His grace and mercy helped us catch many infractions.
