Ep.44: Reviving Biblical Values in America’s Civic Life

Summary:In this episode of Lifting US Up in Liberty, Pastor Earl Wallace breaks down why Jesus' warning about the leaven of the Pharisees and Herod is so urgent for us today. Mark 8 and Matthew 16 reveal that political correctness—whether in religion or government—is a kind of leaven that slowly corrupts and cools our passion for God’s truth.Leaven changes the structure of what it’s mixed into, just like mixing a little false teaching into God's Word can distort entire societies. Today, political correctness is used to silence biblical principles in civic life, convincing believers to separate their faith from their public voice.But America’s founding documents—the Declaration of Independence and the First Amendment—were built on the full integration of biblical truth into government and culture.This episode calls listeners to reject the lie of separation of church and state, recognize how 501(c)(3) policies have limited the church’s influence, and recommit to applying God's Word in every area of life. True freedom doesn’t come from tolerating man’s ideas—it comes from standing boldly on the truth that lifts us up in liberty.5 Key Points:Leaven Destroys Slowly: Just a little false doctrine mixed with truth weakens discipleship and passion for God.Jesus Warned About Religious and Political Deception: Pharisees and Herod represent two sources of corrupted teachings that still impact us today.Political Correctness Is Modern Leaven: It pressures believers to separate their biblical convictions from their public lives.The Bible Shaped America’s Founding: The Declaration of Independence and the First Amendment were built on biblical truths, not political correctness.The Church Must Reclaim Its Voice: By rejecting false ideas like the "separation of church and state," the church can once again influence society with truth.Why You Should Listen:If you're concerned about how political correctness is silencing Christians and distorting America’s foundations, this episode gives you a biblical and historical lens to recognize the danger—and the hope.Why This Episode Matters:Reviving America's biblical foundation isn’t about politics—it’s about spiritual freedom. By rejecting modern leaven and standing firmly on God’s Word, we can help restore the blessings and liberty our nation was built upon.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
