Summary:

In this powerful episode, Pastor Earl Wallace continues the series on the Ten Commandments with a deep dive into Commandment #9: “Thou shalt not bear false witness.” Framed with the theme “the route determines the fruit,” this teaching explores how truthfulness is essential not only for personal integrity but also for national blessing.

Through scripture from Exodus to Revelation, and from Isaiah to Psalms, Pastor Wallace makes it clear that while we all fall short of perfect truth-telling, God’s standard remains—and we are still called to uphold it. Living truthfully, supporting leaders who value truth, and calling out lies is not optional for believers; it is a divine responsibility that helps lift our families, churches, and nation into liberty.

5 Key Points

Commandment #9 = Truthfulness as a National and Personal Standard

• Exodus 20:16 and Deuteronomy 5:20 command us not to lie. The positive paraphrase: “The truth is all there is to tell.” This command is fundamental to healthy communities and righteous leadership.

God Knows We Struggle—But Doesn’t Lower His Standard

• Psalm 116:11 and Titus 1:12 remind us that “all men are liars,” but this doesn’t excuse us from pursuing God’s truth. God still expects integrity from His people.

Discerning Lies Is a Biblical Mandate

• Revelation 2:2 praises the church in Ephesus for testing and exposing liars. Christians must evaluate truth claims against God’s Word, not just for themselves—but to help others as well.

Truth Begins With Self-Examination

• Like Isaiah (Isaiah 6:5) and the people described in Isaiah 53:6, we must first acknowledge our own unclean lips and wayward hearts. The Word of God is a mirror that helps us see and address our own falsehoods.

Watchmen and Watchwomen Are God’s Design for Cultural Discernment

• Ezekiel 33:1–9 teaches that believers must act as watchmen—those who sound the alarm when deception spreads. Applying truth to all areas of life is how God’s people preserve blessings in their nation.

Why You Should Listen

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by lies in media, politics, or even personal relationships, this episode will ground you in the unchanging standard of God’s truth. It will challenge you to be a voice of discernment in a culture that often justifies deceit.

Why This Episode Matters

Many Christians overlook the civic and cultural importance of living out the Ten Commandments. This episode reminds us that truth-telling is not just a private virtue—it is a public responsibility. If we want our communities and nation to be lifted up in liberty, we must be people of truth, rooted in God’s Word, bearing righteous fruit in every arena of life.
