The issue with Abraham and Sarah wasn't about whether Abraham lied...it was that he showed a lack of trust in his God. He acted out of fear. There are lessons there for us today in cases when out of fear, embarrassment, we 'fudge' the truth and/or sometimes deny our faith altogether, or on other occasions deliberately allow an opportunity to pass by to witness to what God has done for us. Abraham lost that opportunity to testify to kings concerning the one true God. He blew it. Through his fear and subsequent lie, he created a atmosphere where the king ceased to trust Abraham. Everything we do has consequences...sometimes eternal ones.
