Ep. 60: The Watchmen: Sharing God's Truth
Manage episode 381587305 series 3501624
Summary:
In this thought-provoking episode, Pastor Earl Wallace explores the concept of being watchmen, drawing inspiration from Ezekiel 33:7-9. These verses appoint Ezekiel as a watchman for the house of Israel, with the responsibility to deliver God's warnings to the people. While this passage speaks directly to Ezekiel, it carries a universal principle that all individuals, as God's representatives, have a duty to share what they know and see with others.
Pastor Wallace emphasizes that Christians, in particular, are divinely obligated to guide others to God's truth and demonstrate how that truth applies to every facet of life. To illustrate this point, he delves into the ninth commandment, "Thou shalt not lie," found in Exodus 20:16 and Deuteronomy 5:20. He offers a comprehensive understanding of bearing false witness, including making false statements, fabricating stories, misrepresenting events, omitting crucial details, and intentionally deceiving others.
The episode highlights the consequences of suppressing the truth, particularly in societal contexts where God's Word is restricted or marginalized. It touches on issues like the debate over Bible reading in public schools and recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, arguing that the notion of separation of church and state, not found in the U.S. Constitution, has led to the nation's spiritual decline.
Pastor Wallace also addresses the divisive tactics employed by some politicians, who falsely pit different groups against each other, causing division and distrust among citizens. He identifies these actions as aligned with the work of Satan.
Ultimately, the episode underscores the transformative power of truth and forgiveness. It challenges listeners to view each other through God's eyes, extending the forgiveness taught in the Lord's Prayer, and reminds us that truth, when embraced, sets individuals and nations free from the bondage of lies.
