The game was called “How Well Do You Know Me?” We sat around the kitchen island at my sister in law’s house and scribbled 3 sentences on a piece of paper. Two statements were true, but one was a lie.

This is not the best game to play when you are trying to fool your family. No one knows you better than your siblings. I mean, you’ve shared a bunk bed and bathroom, and you’ve been finishing each other’s sentences since you were 3 years old. Your sister has heard all your crazy stories a million times. She’s cheered you on from the sidelines at every game, and she cried with you on the couch when you crumbled with heartbreaking disappointment and defeat.

Lying to those who’ve lived close beside you day in and day out is not easy. They know your stuff.

Sometimes when I am wrestling with a decision I remember that game. I want to write my choices on a slip of paper and sit down at the kitchen counter with God.

Lord, which one of these is the lie? Tell me, please.

For the last 6 weeks, we’ve opened up our Bibles and studied Truth. We are tired of getting fooled by the enemy, and we want to figure out how to recognize his deceit and stop falling for his schemes.

What is true? How do you know the truth? You have to live with it…
