Summary
Division, hate, and violence, don’t start with words. They begin in the heart. The disunity we see happening in our country and around the world - in homes, on the streets, and in the media - is ultimately caused by a driving force who’s aim is for that disunity to prevail. Scripture tells us our battle isn’t against flesh and blood. So, how do we become humble bridge-builders in the midst of the conflict? Chip addresses that in this program.
Main Points Topic #1 - The 6th Commandment- No murder by violent hands - Matthew 5:21
- No murder by angry hearts or lethal lips - Matthew 5:22
- The parable of priority: right relationships trump religious requirements every time.
- The parable of urgency: delayed obedience will result in dire consequences.
- Do you have anger, bitterness, or resentment toward anyone, past or present?
- Have you murdered anyone in your heart or with your lips?
- Will you confess this sin right now and receive God’s full forgiveness?
- Can you think of anyone who might feel angry or resentful towards you? Will you commit to make that relationship right “as far as it depends on you”?
- Will you STOP and thank God for His love and kindness and blessings in your life right now?
