Listen "Ep. 52: Separation of Church and State? Not in the Bible!"
Episode Synopsis
Episode Summary:In this powerful episode of Lifting US Up in Liberty, Pastor Earl Wallace tackles the often-misunderstood phrase “separation of church and state.” While many believe this idea comes from scripture, Pastor Wallace reveals that it’s not found anywhere in the Bible—and in fact, the Bible consistently shows God’s people engaging with political leaders.He takes listeners through examples like Moses confronting Pharaoh, prophets like Isaiah and Jeremiah serving in royal courts, and John the Baptist boldly calling out King Herod’s sin. These weren’t just spiritual figures avoiding politics—they were chosen by God to speak truth to power.Pastor Wallace reminds us that God expects obedience from everyone, including politicians and rulers. When they defy His commands, there are real consequences—just as Pharaoh’s army learned in the Red Sea.5 Key Points:“Separation of church and state” is not in the Bible. It’s a man-made phrase with no scriptural basis.Biblical prophets regularly confronted kings. Isaiah, Jeremiah, and others served in political environments.Moses spoke truth to power. God didn’t keep Moses out of politics—He sent him straight to Pharaoh.John the Baptist challenged political sin. He didn't stay silent, and Jesus called him a great prophet.God expects righteousness from all—especially leaders. Obedience is not optional, no matter your title.Why You Should Listen:If you’ve ever wondered whether faith has a place in public life, this episode will clarify what scripture really teaches. Pastor Wallace makes it clear: God’s Word is for every area of life—including politics.Why This Episode Matters:America is often told to keep faith out of government, but this episode reclaims the biblical truth: God’s people have always been called to engage with authority. When we stay silent, we let sin go unchallenged in places of power.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
