Ep. 42: What Happens When We Mix Lies with Truth

Summary:In this episode of Lifting US Up in Liberty, we explore the concept of "leaven" as Jesus described it in Mark 8 and Matthew 16—not just as something found in bread, but as a metaphor for bad teaching that slowly corrupts hearts and minds.Jesus warned his disciples to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Herod. This wasn’t about food. It was about the corrupting influence of false doctrine from both religious leaders and government authorities. The word Jesus used—“beware”—means to be on guard and fully alert.This episode examines how subtle lies, when mixed with biblical truth, can compromise our ability to live righteously and discern reality. One example is the modern doctrine of man-made climate change, which contradicts God's word in Genesis 1:28–31. According to Scripture, God made the Earth good, abundant, and sustainable—and gave us dominion over it. But when we allow false narratives to influence our interpretation of the Bible, even believers begin to question God's design.Host Pastor Earl Wallace challenges listeners to recognize how leaven is shaping not just religious teaching, but also politics, education, and culture. When truth is diluted with just a little error, we risk losing clarity—and with it, our freedom.5 Key Points:Leaven Is Dangerous Doctrine: Jesus warned that even a little false teaching can distort the truth and change how we see the world.Religious and Political Leaven Are Real: Bad doctrine doesn’t just come from churches—it comes from governments and leaders too.Climate Change as a Modern Leaven: When false teaching says God’s creation is broken, it challenges His Word and character.Genesis Affirms God’s Design: God called His creation good and sustainable—and He told us to multiply, not hold back in fear.Disciples Must Be Discerning: We can’t just absorb culture’s ideas. We need to measure everything against Scripture—no matter how “scientific” or “progressive” it sounds.Why You Should Listen:If you’ve ever wondered how Christians are slowly being influenced by political or cultural trends that don't line up with God’s Word, this episode is a wake-up call. It will help you see how subtle doctrinal compromises are leading people away from truth—and what you can do to stay rooted in Scripture.Why This Episode Matters:In today’s world, we’re constantly being bombarded with “new truths” that sound noble but contradict God’s Word. This episode calls believers back to discernment, courage, and biblical clarity—because only by rejecting false doctrines can we stand strong in liberty and truth.Important Links:Website: www.libertycfchurch.orgThe Biblical Basis For The Bill of Rights: https://libertycf.org/3br/Start A Home Bible Study Using LCF Material: Liberty Offsite Body of Christ Community (LOBOCC)- www.lobocc.org YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@libertychristianfellowship5721 Rumble Channel: https://rumble.com/user/LibertyCFHelp Fund The Freedom Message: https://tinyurl.com/LCFDonationThankYou
