Exodus 20:16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. This is the text from the Westminster Larger Catechism for the Chapel Library - William Gouge's name is attached as a representative of the entire assembly.
The 10 Commandments E12 — The common summary of the 9th Commandment is “Do not lie,” a generic prohibition against all kinds of fibs. But the commandment actually reads “Do not bear false witness,” drawing attention to a very specific kind of lying in a communal, legal setting. Many of the other commandments are more general. So why does the 9th Commandment zoom in on truth telling in public, legal settings? In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the 9th Commandment, discovering its underlying value of upholding truth and justice in defense of the most vulnerable in society.

Discover how the gospel not only motivates honesty but also silences the accuser's voice in your head. Join us as we explore how truth-telling protects relationships, preserves justice, and points to Christ.A tamed tongue...1) The epicenter2) The concentric circles3) The driving motiveText: Exodus 20:16

In this episode of The Chorus in the Chaos, Blake and Jack tackle the Ninth Commandment: “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” But as they quickly uncover, this commandment isn't just about lying—it's about gossip, slander, exaggeration, and the thousand subtle ways we undermine truth in daily life. Jack opens with a vivid personal illustration of a leaky ceiling and how unchecked deception functions like a drip—slowly saturating and eventually destroying. The conversation moves through scripture, theology (featuring insights from Kevin DeYoung and Thomas Watson), and practical application with the Heidelberg Catechism guiding the way.

The 9th commandment calls Israel to “not give false testimony against thy neighbor.” That command holds true for us today, not to lie but to speak truth. A lie can be more than just not telling the truth, it can also be misleading or intentionally deceiving. The Bible calls us to reflect Christ and He is truth! Outline: 01:21 - Exodus 20.16, “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor” Exo 23.1-2 Exo 23.6-8 Deu 17.6-7 Jhn 14.6 Jhn 8:31-47 Mat 26.57-68 14:17 - what is truth?

We forgot to record last week! We are back this week talking through how God invites us in the 9th commandment to be people that speak life and blessing into others lives instead of death and curse. He changes our speech through the better word of Jesus Christ.
"Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor..." - DON'T LIE. The 9th commandment in The 10 Commandments in the book of Exodus and maybe the most problematic for people living in the modern world. We lie constantly and even reward lying via media influence, digital platforms, and pathways to success. But what if the cost of lying is more than we can bear - at a spiritual level?Like, subscribe, and leave us a comment.Is It Ever Okay to Tell a Lie?

While the Pharisees were accusing Him of giving false testimony (John 8:13), Jesus told His own followers, “If you abide in My word, you are truly My disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:31-32). This morning's service is built around this contrast between truth and lies. We ask the Lord to “lead us in Your truth” (the Call to Worship from Psalm 25), and not to give us over to our foes because “false witnesses arise against [us]” (O Lord, Teach Me To Follow You—Psalm 27). We ask Him to “give us truth” (Lord, Hear My Voice—Psalm 61), since only the one who “speaks truth in his heart” (Psalm 15:2) can dwell on His holy hill. We look for protection from those whose “mouths are false, for lies they speak” (Blest Be The Lord, My Rock, My Might—Psalm 144), crying out “save me from the lies of godless men” (O Lord, My God—Psalm 43). We ask for God to plant His truth deep within us, and we look forward to the day when “truth [will] prevail over unbelief” and “truths … will echo down through eternity” (Speak, O Lord). We go out secure in the knowledge that our “firm foundation” is Christ Himself, the “true and faithful Word” (Stricken, Smitten, And Afflicted), praying that this true Word, “the way, the truth, and the life,” would be found on the lips of “friend and stranger” (Christ Be With Me). —Henry C. Haffner Exodus 20:1-17 God spoke all these words, saying, “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself a carved image…You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore, the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. Honor your father and your mother… You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. You shall not covet…” Keystone Verse: You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. (Exodus 20:16) Download Bulletin
