Why do the Ten Commandments still matter in an age that claims to have moved beyond them? In this powerful series, Dr. Michael Youssef proclaims that God’s Law is not a relic of the past but a living revelation of His holy character. From idolatry and dishonoring God’s Name to anger, adultery, stealing, lying, and covetousness, each commandment exposes the sin that resides in the human heart. Yet the Law also points us to our only hope—Jesus Christ, the divine Son of God, who fulfilled the Law and offers forgiveness to all who repent and believe. Through Biblical teaching and urgent application, this series calls believers to renewed obedience, deeper holiness, and bold witness in a culture that rejects God’s Truth.

The Ten Commandments (Part 10)

Why Doesn’t God Think Lying Is Harmless?

In this sobering message, Dr. Michael Youssef declares that the ninth commandment exposes the deadly seriousness of lying, exaggeration, gossip, and half-truths. Falsehood is never harmless because it reflects the character of Satan, the father of lies, while Jesus Christ is the Truth in human flesh. Scripture makes plain that lying destroys trust, damages witness, and grieves the Holy Spirit. This episode calls believers to repent of every form of deception, whether public or hidden, and to walk in truth with holy courage. In a culture drowning in falsehood, God’s people must intercede for the Church and the nation, that hearts may be cleansed and Biblical Truth honored again.
