Episode Summary
In this powerful episode of Lifting US Up in Liberty, Pastor Earl Wallace continues his series on the Divine Decalogue for Dynamic Decency—a fresh and positive paraphrase of the Ten Commandments designed to help individuals and families thrive by living according to God's standards.
Focusing on Commandments 5 through 7, Pastor Wallace explains how honoring these principles impacts not just our personal choices, but our society as a whole. He rephrases Commandment 5 as “Be faithful to your fellow family members,” emphasizing that honor should be the foundation of every home. By showing respect, especially to parents, we contribute to the stability and longevity of our lives and communities.
Commandment 6, “Thou shalt not murder,” is paraphrased as “Mercy mitigates murder.” Rather than simply suppressing anger, Pastor Wallace encourages believers to actively manage mercy. Citing the Lord’s Prayer, he reminds us that forgiving others as God forgives us is essential to living a life free of bitterness, rage, and violence.
Commandment 7, concerning adultery and fornication, is paraphrased as “If you date right, you mate right.” Pastor Wallace speaks plainly about biblical marriage—between a man and a woman—and warns against being unequally yoked. Dating someone who does not share your faith can lead to struggles in marriage, especially when raising children. He challenges listeners to consider how deeply the home shapes future generations and how critical it is to raise children under God’s truth, rather than letting them be shaped by the world’s unstable and “upside-down” values.
This episode reminds us that God’s commandments aren’t restrictions—they are protections, designed to produce freedom, dignity, and lasting blessings in our lives and nation.
