Telling the truth Among the many points made in this sermon, Dr. Morecraft explains the truth of a controversial position. He warns that immature people will misuse this biblical information. There are some times in which it is proper not to tell the truth and actually tell something that's not true. In Exodus chapter 1, the midwives disobeyed Pharaoh by not killing the Hebrew male babies, and then lied to him about why they didn't kill those babies. God blessed the midwives for that (Exodus 1:20-21). In Joshua 2, Rahab lied to the king of Jericho's men to protect the two Israelite spies. She is listed as one of the great women of faith in Hebrews 11. These are two occasions where God blessed people for not telling the truth. When is it okay not to tell the truth? When a civil government becomes the deadly enemy of your family and your church, you may lie to them to escape their anger and their persecution. Christians should be known for telling the truth. But when it comes to the point where they are at war with the civil magistrate, and the civil magistrate is going to do deadly harm to their family and church, their primary duty is to be faithful to their family and church.
