Episode Summary
In this episode of Lifting US Up in Liberty, Pastor Earl Wallace wraps up his powerful teaching series on the Divine Decalogue for Dynamic Decency—a positive, practical take on the Ten Commandments designed to guide individuals and nations toward righteousness, justice, and liberty.
Focusing on Commandments 8, 9, and 10, Pastor Wallace emphasizes how these final three shape our character, influence society, and protect us from destructive behaviors—personally and politically.
Commandment 8, “Thou shalt not steal,” is rephrased as “Stealing rips you and others out of God’s plan for material blessings.” Whether theft is committed by individuals or governments, it robs everyone involved of God’s provision. Pastor Wallace challenges listeners to consider how even government systems can violate this command by enacting policies that take from one to give to another unjustly.
Commandment 9, “Thou shalt not lie,” becomes “The truth is all there is to tell.” He goes deeper by addressing slander—not just falsehoods, but using truthful statements in ways that damage others. He warns that Satan uses slander to distract us from what Christ has done on the cross and keep us stuck in guilt and shame.
Commandment 10, “Thou shalt not covet,” is paraphrased as “Coveting clouds the conscience.” Desiring what others have can lead to bitterness, selfishness, or even violence. Pastor Wallace notes that many wars throughout history have been rooted in covetousness—and that unchecked envy leads to broken relationships and unjust societies.
This episode reminds us that God's laws are not burdens—they are liberating truths that bring order, peace, and purpose to our lives and nations.
