Podcasts about Ninth Commandment

Should Christians think differently about what we post, share, and say online? In this episode, Mark and Emily explore the Ninth Commandment, “Do not bear false witness,” and apply it to the age of social media, political outrage, and public discourse.They talk about the temptation to exaggerate, misrepresent, or dehumanize those we disagree with — and why followers of Jesus should be people who speak truth, pursue peace, and resist the pull of conspiracy, sarcasm, and slander. From political ads to Instagram comments, this conversation invites us to reflect Christ not only in what we say, but how we say it.Resources:Cornerstone Church Sermons: Listen online

The sermon explores the significance of the Ninth Commandment, emphasizing the importance of faithfulness and the dangers of bearing false witness against one's neighbor. Drawing from Zechariah 8 and other passages, the message underscores the need for honesty in speech, kindness in communication, and a discerning approach to information, advocating for a community built on dependability and faithfulness, reflecting God's own character and ultimately leading to a life pleasing in His sight, where words build up rather than tear down.

Why does Judaism place so much weight on telling the truth? This week, Rabbi Josh Feigelson explores how Jewish wisdom links truth to the very foundations of society. The Ninth Commandment warns against bearing false witness, reminding us that justice and trust collapse when lies prevail. But the teaching goes further—beyond courtrooms to everyday life—condemning gossip, slander, and false rumors that erode community. Be in touch at josh@unpacked.media.

"The Language of Hell” exposes the Ninth Commandment's demand to guard our neighbor's name. Every slander, insinuation, and cowardly silence echoes Satan's propensity for accusations. Yet Christ, who bore the false testimony against Him, redeems our tongues and teaches us to speak not the language of hell, but the truth of heaven.

A HUGE problem with the way we tend to think about the Ten Commandments as separate rules for how to live our individual lives is that it isn't true. The deeper message behind each of God's utterances is always one of growing a community based on love and care rather than one set on rules and condemnation. That doesn't mean we don't have responsibility to uphold certain things as individuals, but it does mean that we need to stop thinking "What does this mean to me?" and get back to thinking "How do my choices effect the whole community?" And, if you think, "My little thing isn't hurting anyone," or "My thing is only hurting one or two people," or "My tiny, insignificant thing is just a spark that's going to wink out of existence and not matter to anyone," then you're ignoring the reality that even the smallest of sparks can become the largest of conflagrations.Is the Ninth Commandment about lying? And does it matter? Join our discussion today and find out.

Pastor Brian Tweedie continues our series in the 10 Commandments, this week on the 9th Commandment “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor”. Pastor Brian discusses ultimately how we can speak truth in love to ourselves, our loved ones and our neighbors.Cornerstonebrighton.com

The Ninth Commandment and the Weight of TruthThe Ninth Commandment warns against lying, gossip, slander, and twisting words. Though people often treat dishonesty as a "small sin," Scripture consistently elevates truthfulness as central to Christian love and faithfulness. The catechism emphasizes that deceptive speech is rooted in arrogance, as it often aims at putting our reputation above other people's reputations. Bearing false witness damages community life and is contrary to God's own nature, as God is truth.Love as Humility, Not ArrogancePaul's teaching in 1 Corinthians 12–13 shows that love is not about boasting or puffing oneself up, but it is about building up the body of Christ. True love is humble, refusing to twist words, gossip, or slander to make others look bad. Instead, humility in love means choosing patience, forgiveness, and discernment within the community. Even when wronged, the Christian posture is not to keep a record of grievances to hold against people, but to act with wisdom and charitable assumptions.Love as Moral Integrity and FaithfulnessPaul stresses that love is not rude, self-seeking, irritable, or resentful. Instead, it bears patiently, covers minor faults, and releases people from grudges. This does not excuse ongoing abuse or sin but calls for wise forgiveness that discerns repentance and its fruit. The mature Christian seeks to honor Christ first, not themselves, persevering in community life with endurance and selflessness even when relationships or personalities are difficult. Love thus reflects God's character by pursuing what is righteous before the Lord rather than insisting on one's own way.Love and Truth as the Heart of Christian WitnessUltimately, love and truth are inseparably linked. Love rejoices in truth and despises injustice or falsehood. Believers are called to speak honestly, silently overlook petty offenses, and work to build trust and hope in the community. This spirit informed love endures trials, points to the eternal reality of God's kingdom, and reflects the very nature of God, who is identified as both love and truth. Manifesting this kind of love shows the world what it means to live as light in darkness, glorifying Christ in humility and sincerity. This is the challenge and the blessing of walking in the Spirit. We have this blessing only by Christ's merits.

What does covetousness mean? Today, we launch into the ninth commandment, which deals with carnal concupiscence. This commandment addresses the tension between the “flesh” and the “spirit.” Fr. Mike emphasizes that purity of heart and temperance are crucial to overcoming lust of the flesh. The more we obey God, the more our hearts see others as God sees them.
