Don't put up with liars...If they confess, forgive them.
I will refer you to this article "Don't put up with liars"
This article shows, again, how important it is for your actions and words to be the same. Not that we don't fall, for our theology says as much, but that when we do, we confess and seek forgiveness. And, quickly.
I will insert one quote from the article that says it all:
"These three appear to have fallen prey to the oldest temptation in the world, to not be completely truthful about themselves. We should be able to understand that perfectly, even if we can't condone it, because we've all done the same. But in their case, the sin is worse because they are leaders, and they have a greater responsibility to the truth.
Big Daddy tells Brick how to deal with mendacity: "You've got to live with it. There's nothin' to live with but mendacity. Is there?"
No, evangelicals themselves and the public at large aren't going to put up with dishonesty in their leaders. Souders has faced his consequences. We'll see if Rekers and Caner will face theirs."

Sound familiar?
Another example from the political world should teach Christians something.
It DOES matter whether what you say is true or false!
See Richard Blumenthal
Either you were in Vietnam or you were not. To say that you were, more than once, when you were not is not to misspeak, it is a lie.
Either you grew up in Turkey or you did not.
Same thing.
And yet, Richard Blumenthal is addressing the issue more quickly than a Christian seminary president.
