Gehazi is a “minor” character in the Bible, but his story is a cautionary tale for anyone who wants to “add a little extra” to their relationship with God. Someone in as privileged a position as him should have known better than to lie for a few extra bucks, so what happened? Similarly, what happens to us?

CloseBe honest: God's execution of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5 seems a little harsh. For starters, it was "only one sin," and secondly, didn't Peter just have a bigger sin when he denied Jesus three times? Why would someone who was shown so much mercy for that deny someone else the chance to repent? If it seems harsh, that's because it is. That's kind of the point. But I would argue that there's more to the story than just lying = death. A lot more. If only we would take the time to dive in and be honest with the Text.
