The Sixth Commandment: Thou Shall Not Murder! Series

Turn in your Bibles to Exodus 20:13, as we continue our sermon series on the Ten Commandments with this simple statement, "Thou shall do no murder". Say that with me. "Thou shall do no murder". I doubt there are any gangsters or professional hitmen reading this right now. Yet this sixth commandment has volumes to say to America and to the church. Society will forgive an atheist. They'll forgive an idolater, a sabbath breaker. They'll forgive someone dishonoring their parents, a thief, a liar. But when you kill another person with malice, you have committed one of the greatest of all evils. Why? Because man has been created in the image of God.

An attack against another person is literally considered from heaven a direct attack on God himself. The text actually translates "Thou shall do no murder," not "Thou shall not kill". There's a difference between killing and murder in the Bible. Killing is not always a crime. Why this message to America today? By the grace of God and the courage of conservative Supreme Court justices that we now have, abortions are no longer universally possible in America. But while we support the act of the Supreme Court, abortions are now a state-by-state issue. That's what happened with this Supreme Court ruling.

As of today, 13 states have shut down the baby-killing abortion centers. And thank you, God, for that. Thank you, God, for Texas who has passed a heartbeat law that if you detect a heartbeat, leave that baby alone. They're a human being. But that means there are 37 states which have yet to decide if abortions are to be permitted in your state. Some of you may choose to take oral medication to kill your baby or travel to a state that refuses to protect the unborn.

Millions are being spent by the abortion industry to keep the slaughter of the innocent children legal in your state. This, in God's sight, is murder, period. This message is for you today. I'm going to cover three dimensions: the murder of your name, the murder of America, and the murder of a child through abortion. I want you to listen to this very clearly. None of the things I say today are my opinion. They are all based on the Word of God, and He is the judge. Exodus 20:13 reads: "You shall not murder," pretty easy to understand.

Father God, we ask you to look from the Throne Room of Heaven and see our nation in grave crisis, a moral and spiritual crisis. And at the heart of this is the innocent blood of millions of children that have been murdered by people who rebel against the law and the justice of Almighty God. The Word of God clearly says that this brings God's judgment on a nation. And we come today to ask forgiveness for our sin of murdering the unborn, and to teach America, through Your Word, that they may have life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for everyone. In Jesus' name, we pray. And all of God's children said, amen.

Consider the murder of your name or your reputation. Consider that Jesus Christ was perfect. But malicious words spoken by corrupt governmental leaders murdered Jesus Christ before He was physically crucified. The pharisees called Him a liar. They called Him a heretic. They were the church of that day. They accused Him of doing miracles by the power of Beelzebub, which is the devil. Rome called Him an insurrectionist too dangerous to live. Think about it. Jesus of Nazareth had a massive public following. He could feed 5,000 out of a boy's sack lunch. He raised people from the dead. With that kind of power, Jesus of Nazareth could lead an army in rebellion against Rome.

Jesus was a threat to the political swamp of His day. Their solution? Lie about Him. Create a Calvary conspiracy and crucify Him as an enemy of the state. And that's exactly what happened. In America today, a corrupt fake news media can and will destroy you if you take positions that support the Bible or the constitution of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Hello, America! It's time stand up! It's time to speak up for righteousness! It's a time to look at the truth and admit that we are going down the wrong path when it comes to the unborn! Let freedom ring! The answer is to vote the Bible and drive these socialist thugs out of office!

Secondly, consider the murder of the United States of America. For the first time in our history, we witnessed the continued character assassination of the former president of the United States through the malicious actions of the FBI. Attorney Christina Bobb said, "The invasion of Donald Trump's house is a brazen weaponizing of the FBI by Biden's department of justice against his political opponent."
