    You Shall Not Murder Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 21, 2021
     | 3,085 views

    The Bible’s opening plotlines show the firstborn man, Cain, killing his brother Abel. Think of it: the firstborn person in the human race was a murderer.

    Contrary to many people’s thoughts that civilization is more civilized, evidence suggests that murder is on the increase. In 1963, in Scotland, two people were convicted of murder. In 2000, there were 128 reported homicides in Scotland. In 1960, the District of Columbia reported 81 murders. In 1991 ...read more

    Step Eight - Its A List Dummy Series

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Jan 8, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,798 views

    Step eight comes across as a fairly easy step at first glance. I only need to transfer my list of people, places and things from step 5 and be willing to change. The “big book” offers all of three sentences so maybe it is that easy. NOT!

    Sixth Sunday In Ordinary Time - 6th Sunday, Year A-- The Fence

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 20, 2020
     | 4,582 views

    Jesus builds a shield around the law or Commandments in order to create more space and distance so that we won’t even bump up against the fence or sit on the fence, but rather keep a healthy distance.

    There was a large group of people. On one side of the group stood a man, Jesus. On the other side of the group stood Satan. Separating them, running through the group, was a fence. The scene was set, both Jesus and Satan began calling to the people in the group and, one by one - each having made up ...read more

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 6, 2020
     | 4,231 views

    Relationships matter. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus had much to say about right relationships between His disciples, God--and each other. This is the first time Jesus used the phrase, "go thy way",

    Introduction: The Sermon on the Mount. How many of us love this passage of Scripture? Even though this was not the first message Jesus ever preached, He did preach it, and it was one of the longest messages anyone heard Him speak. He started this message with the Beatitudes, a series of sayings ...read more

    Jude wanted to write a joyous letter, but instead he had to write a warning. Certain ones had crept in unnoticed.

    Jude wanted to write a joyous letter, but instead he had to write a warning. Certain ones had crept in unnoticed. We are to contend for the faith. The Christian life is not unopposed. There is a spiritual attack directed against us, there is a warfare. There is a hassling from the devil. There are ...read more

    Imagine a commentary on the Old Testament by Jesus Christ. It would be the best, and we have one in the Sermon on the Mount. Let’s begin to understand the intent of the law by its author. Let’s look at murder, adultery and bearing false witness in Matthew 5:21-37.

    Hate Crimes

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Feb 10, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,342 views

    Jesus believed in hate crimes, because God knows the heart. Jesus urges us to resolve our murderous thoughts, make it right when we can, and settle out of court, all so that a watching world will take note of how Christian brothers and sisters get along.

    Matthew 5:21-26 Hate Crimes The FBI defines a hate crime as a “criminal offense against a person or property, motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity.” A hate crime is not the same as hate ...read more

    In dealing with your anger, don’t commit murderous acts, don’t think murderous thoughts, and don’t speak murderous words. But if your anger has hurt someone, seek reconciliation and seek a resolution as soon as you can.

    Several years ago, the Arizona Republic carried a story about Steve Tran of Westminster, California.
