James 5:12 Just say yes or no. Just say what is true. That way, your language can't be used against you.
In our previous existence (living with addiction and compulsion) we obtained reputations for exaggerating or being careless with the truth. Now we have a set of rules (the principles if recovery) which require we always be honest.
Through being honest others will believe us when we offer a simple yes or no. When we avoid lying, carelessness with the truth and omission of facts we become known as someone who is trustworthy.
I'm sure we all want to be trusted. The only way to achieve trust is to live honestly.
