Why Truth Matters: Digging Into the Ninth Commandment
Start your week with a powerful conversation as Pastor Zack and Pastor Rob Paugh dive deeper into Sunday’s message on the Ninth Commandment: “Do not bear false witness.”
In this episode, Pastor Rob unpacks:
- Why God hates deception
- How ancient justice systems made false testimony deadly
- Different forms of lying we often overlook
- How Christians should confront falsehood with truth AND grace
- Why silence can be just as harmful as speaking a lie
This is Part 1 of the conversation—an honest, convicting, and encouraging reminder that truth isn’t just a moral preference… it’s a reflection of God Himself.
🙏 Featuring: Pastor Rob Paugh
