“Be sure your sins will find you out” (Num.23:23).  Sin is often tempting because it seems to be the easy way out—the short cut.  But the consequences are like boomerangs, they will come back to kick us.
     After moving into a new home, a woman in Detroit became weary of salesman after salesman ringing her doorbell.  When still another came, she yelled through the door, “I can’t talk to you!  I’m on a long distance call.”
    But the man kept ringing.
    Finally, she threw open the door and began bawling him out, “I told you I was on the phone long distance.  Why do you keep bothering me?”
    The man smiled and said softly, “Ma’am, I am from the telephone company.  I’ve come to connect your phone.”
     Lying has eternal consequences.  “All liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death” (Rev.21:8).
    But like most sins, there are implications for today.  One punishment of a liar is that he is not to be believed, even when he speaks the truth.
    A worse punishment of a liar is that he cannot believe anyone else.  Have you heard someone say, “I don’t trust anybody?”  It may be a boomerang which he has thrown coming back home.
