Kid's Devotion - Honesty

      1. Watch the video
      2. Doug trivia - What is the number of Doug's Bluffscout troup?
      3. What did the scouts have to sell to raise money? Why were they so hard to sell?
      4. What did Roger do to help enable him to sell all his bars?
      5. Read Proverbs 12:22  http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs+12:22&version=NIV  Was what Roger was doing- right even though it was for a good cause?
      6. Read John 8:44,45.  http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%208:44-45&version=NIV   What is wrong with a little lie if it is done for the right reasons?
      7. How was Doug rewarded for being honest? What was Roger's punishment for lying?

Note to parents.
    In this episode, Doug is tempted to lie to attain a good goal. We are all tempted to do this - "Tell him I'm not in", "I can't come, I'm not feeling well", "You look lovely today", etc. I know that the reasons we do these things are all good, but God is a holy God and one of His attributes is truth. (look in a concordance how many times "truth" appears in John) One of the devil's main attributes is untruth. If we want to please the Lord always tell the truth even though it seems counter productive. God can make the impossible happen just like what happened to Doug when he told the truth.
