hidden sins create cowards

liars don't like the light

“It’s amazing how much panic one honest man can spread among a multitude of hypocrites.” — Thomas Sowell

Liars don't like the light. Like cockroaches, they run from it. The truth is a dangerous thing to those who rely on the night to hide them. One bold man with his finger on the light switch can create a riot. 

Proverbs 28:1
The wicked flee when no man pursueth: 
but the righteous are bold as a lion.

Liars run from the rumor of the light switch and riot at the report of someone threatening to flip it on.

The righteous, however, love the truth. They have confessed their sins and drug them out into the light. The truth is not a danger to be avoided, it is a comfort to be sought. Forgiven men are bold men. Hidden sin creates cowards.
