Many Bible-readers over the centuries have worked diligently to anchor to the Ten Commandments outlined in the Mosaic Law as the path to limit sin in their lives. But that isn't what the Bible teaches! Romans 5:20 teaches us that the Mosaic Law actually increases sin! So, what is God's path for Christians to take in their everyday life full of different choices to make? Join Kevin as we examine the startling path that bears the fruits that actually work to crowd out sin! // Download this episode's Application & Action questions and PDF transcript at whitestone.org.

This command confronts our natural tendency to misuse our words—we often underestimate how deeply our speech can affect others. Take time this week to reflect on how you speak, remembering that God meets us in our weakness. Through Christ, His strength becomes our strength, allowing us to speak truthfully, graciously, and with love. Visit hopecitychurch.uk.com to find out more.

This sermon was delivered by Pastor Cory Klein at New Hope Church of Oxford on June 29, 2025. The text of Scripture is Exodus 20:16.
Do not bear false witness…what does this word actually mean? Who among us never stretches the truth; never avoids upsetting someone unnecessarily with a casual truth-omission, or holds back our honest thoughts and feelings for all the right reasons? In its original context, the ninth commandment was a prohibition against a false word that could cost someone their life, but (just like the rest of the them!) it speaks a truer word about being a people who bear true witness. It's about community, justice, allegiance to the God of truth, and building relational fabric of trust and honesty. To gospel-writer John, truth was never presented as a principle or standard—it is a person. Jesus is Truth. He has given us the Spirit of Truth. And those who follow Him are called to speak, live, and embody truth in love. This truth-telling is not about perfection, but participation: in the unity of Christ's body, in the slow, patient work of sanctification, and in resisting the all the language of the deceiver.

Scriptures: Psalm 51:1-2; Exodus 20:16
A sermon by John Zeigler on the ninth commandment from Exod. 20:16
Satan is called the Father of Lies (John 8:44), which is why it's no surprise that falsehood is one of his most common strategies in dividing the people of God. Thankfully, God warns against the dangers of speaking falsely of each other, starting at Mount Sinai. Join us and found out why God demands that people speak of each other in a truthful manner.
Finally, be empowered in the Lord and in the might of His strength. Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the stratagems of the devil, For our wrestling is not against blood and flesh but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenlies. Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Ephesians 6:10-13. As believers who love the Lord and who are standing for His testimony, we must not be ignorant of the schemes of God's enemy in his attacks on the church. In order to help educate and inoculate us against such attacks, the co-workers in North America have released a series of articles on ShepherdingWords.com, which expose the stratagems of the devil. This week, we have a narration of the article titled “A Warning about Rumors and False Witness” originally published on September 7th, 2024. In the Old and New Testament there are warnings against bearing false witness, spreading rumors, and evil speaking. In our daily life and especially on the internet through social media, the words that we speak and write may be easily amplified. As this article warns, we need to exercise great care in what we post, “like”, and share less we inadvertently bear false witness or spread rumors. May the Lord supply us through this speaking and equip us to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Send us a textJoin us for this week's episode of Unsexy Church, with Pastor Champ and Pastor Dude, as they discuss the 9th commandment. What does it mean to bear false witness? Does this only mean in court or are there other things we ought to consider as we look to obey this command? They tackle the modern-day implications of bearing false witness, likening it to slander and exploring how these acts impact society at large. We can't wait for you to listen!
By Greg Thomas - In reviewing this commandment, let's consider what God intended. It's not just about avoiding lying, but also about examining what is in our hearts and minds toward others and not slandering another person.

We are indeed people that are called to have truth, rule and govern our life. And there's one source of spiritual truth, and that is scripture, and that's why it's so important that we take the word of God seriously and we apply it to our life, that we don't doubt, that we don't think too much, and lead ourselves to reject what God is calling us to do.

We must use our speech for truth rather than slander and falsehood, even when the majority of people are speaking that which is a lie. No matter how big the crowd is that is going the wrong direction, it's never right.

Acts 6:8-15 8 And Stephen, full of grace and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people. 9Then some of those who belonged to the synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia and Asia, rose up and disputed with Stephen. 10 But they could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking. 11Then they secretly instigated men who said, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.” 12 And they stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes, and they came upon him and seized him and brought him before the council, 13 and they set up false witnesses who said, “This man never ceases to speak words against this holy place and the law, 14 for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and will change the customs that Moses delivered to us.” 15 And gazing at him, all who sat in the council saw that his face was like the face of an angel.

God gives to His people wisdom, and we are going to see that through the wisdom of God that we can live successfully. Now, what is success? It is carrying out the will of God. It is developing in our life, the character of God that we, in and of ourselves become less, and he becomes more.
