"You? Fat? No way!" "With all due respect, officer, that wasn't a red light!" Every day, billions of lies leave the mouths of billions of people. Lying is a moral pollution that we declare harmful, but seem to believe is indispensable in life.

“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19).

Letting go of the environment and education you received at home is difficult as it is, but can there be liberation if you grew up in a family of mobsters?
