A lie can come disguised as truth and still be a lie.
1. RRC Bible Study Podcast centers on Dennis Martin's teaching from John 8 about “the importance of knowing the truth.”
2. Pastor Dennis Martin is the speaker, and he frames the message as church teaching built around many Bible passages.
3. The episode asks what truth does for believers, with John 8:32 as the core claim that “the truth shall make you free.”
4. Martin says the day is filled with “misinformation,” “untruth,” and “fake news,” and he links that to social media, news, and church speech.
5. He says people often believe whatever is said without stopping to “study, examine, investigate” what they hear.
6. Martin defines truth as reality and says freedom in any area depends on knowing that reality.
7. He cites John 8:44 to describe the devil as “a liar” and “the father of it,” not simply as someone who tells lies.
8. He also uses Acts 16 and the woman with “the spirit of divination” to show that words can sound true while coming from the wrong spirit.
9. Martin warns that people sometimes receive only “partial truth,” which can leave them deceived.
10. He says truth matters in worship too, because John 4:23-24 calls for worship “in spirit and in truth.”
11. Martin says worship should not be for cameras, footage, or a reel, but from the inside out.
12. He quotes 1 Timothy 2:4 to say God wants “all men to be saved” and “to come unto the knowledge of the truth.”
13. He reads 2 Timothy 2:15 and says ministers should “study” and “rightfully divide the word of truth.”
14. Martin gives a television example where a preacher said God would “kill the devil” if people praised him, and he rejects that claim as unbiblical.
15. He says 2 Timothy 3 describes people who are “ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
16. He uses 2 Timothy 4:2-4 to say people will not endure sound doctrine, will seek “itching ears,” and will turn from truth to “fables.”
17. Martin's tone is instructional and cautionary, with repeated Scripture reading, short asides, and personal examples.
18. The format is a solo Bible-study sermon, delivered in a direct speaking style with occasional audience-address lines.
19. People who want Scripture-heavy teaching on discernment will likely benefit.
20. People wanting a short, entertainment-focused episode will probably skip it.
