commandments. This is commandment number nine this morning. It will be addressing the topic of lying. Lying, lying. Ah this is good. That’s a good one. So let’s pray before we jump into this. This topic this morning just helped collect our thoughts. Lord, I thank you for the word of God and how it’s alive and active. Sharper than any double edged sword. Lord, I thank you that it’s able to do business in the heart of the believer and the unbeliever Lord, I pray that you would instruct you. Encourage you correct? I pray that you would do business in our hearts. God, I pray. The word of God would be alive in our lives and our hearts. Lord, I prayed people would hear from you in your word this morning and we’d seek to be changed and transformed by the bible. Today we commit our lives to you in jesus name. We pray Amen. Let’s read it together. Exodus 20 verse 16 it says this. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. So obviously this isn’t just allocated to your physical neighbors. You can lie to other people, but not your name. This is obviously everyone. Okay. And this is a legal understanding of this. But as we will see this morning, it’s way more compounded, multifaceted than just the legal context of lying in court. I was at Disney with a friend and they had a generous offer. They said they would pay for me and my wife and at the time our three kids to go to Disney with them. I was like, that’s very generous. And we were down there and we were checking into Disney and like your thumbprint. So they know what your thumb looks like, and then you’re doing all this stuff to check into Disney. And then he turns to me and he says, hey, that one son of yours, uh tell him to say he’s this age, I’m like, but he’s not that age, He’s like, come on, tell him to say he’s that age to save me some money. I’m like, I don’t remember how I said it or what I said, but I didn’t want to instruct my kid to lie. So he got mad. He said, fine, you paid for everyone if you’ve been to Disney before. That’s quite the swing on a budget line item on your some of your eyebrows went out, I get expensive. I know this was a while ago, but still lying. Has its a real world. It’s a real, it’s a real topic being addressed in all of our lives uh since youth, I don’t think there’s any parents here that had to teach their kids how to lie. But since youth we’ve been addressing lying among young people. Read it. Read an article that said, what are some uh you know what’s the worst song lyric nursery rhyme you remember listening to as a kid, What’s the worst lyric song nursery rhyme you remember listening to as a kid. So in the year 1841, there was this nursery Rhyme. It says liar liar pants on fire, sitting on a telephone wire. Yeah. You follow me here felt when you’re there, cut your hair, okay? And stick your head in boiling water. Okay, Okay. But listen, that’s nothing christians. We outdid this our christian nursery rhyme. This is dark. This is a christian nursery rhyme. I remember from my youth and the first service, only a handful recognized this. So maybe I was an interesting church, but I want you to kind of smile at me or raise your hand. If you remember this nursery rhyme from the christian version of the christian nursery revelations, revelations, 21-8, liars go to hell, liars. Go to hell. Burn, Burn burn. Mm. Are we judging us yet? Are you judging? So we’ve been addressing this from little kids to big kids. We’ve been addressing the topic of lying and I propose to you as we go through this, You know, do liars, go to hell. I propose you liars. Go to church. And as we go through this, you’ll see, uh it’s it’s like all the other Eight Commandments we’ve gone through. It’s not as simple as you …
