3/5-3/8 Devo One

This is the first devotional for the week of March 5 to March 8. We hear anywhere from 10 to 200 lies a day. And although we’ve spent much of our history coming up with ways to detect these lies by tracking physiological changes in their tellers, these methods have proved unreliable. Is there a more direct approach? Noah Zandan uses some famous examples of lying to illustrate how we might use communications science to analyze the lies themselves. This video is a Ted-Ed video on The Language of Lying. What do you think? Use this devotional to reflect on telling the truth and recognizing truth and lies from others.

  1. This is crazy! And the examples are things you hear every day! Very interesting analysis and real life samples. Definitely makes one ponder how many times do I employ these same tactics and lie? Yikes! Very uncomfortable Ted Talk but also a great one!

  2. This brings up very disturbing realities of our fallen nature to lie even in an unconscious way. We hear about bald face lies or white lies but do they not all boil down to the same thing? I have known individuals who habitually lied to the point that they become self deluded and started to believe themselves the lies they were telling others!

  3. A helpful video. Lying is big problem in our society. Like Melissa indicates, it is what we hear every day. I feel challenged to watch myself more for any temptations to not tell the truth.
