If you have your Bible, please turn to Exodus chapter 20. We're in a series on the Ten Commandments. And today we want to talk about the sixth commandment, and I've entitled this message, "The Heart of Murder."

He came with the fruit of the cursed ground. And Cain was very angry at God, and he takes out his anger on his brother, Abel, and he kills him. Right on the heels of the very first sin with Adam and Eve, you have murder that hits the human race.
Well, in Exodus chapter 20, as God is giving the Ten Commandments to the people and to Moses, and He's writing these. We've called this series, "Written in Stone," because the Ten Commandments were written on two tablets of stone, written, as the Scripture says, by the very finger of God. And when we come to the sixth commandment. The sixth commandment says, "You shall not kill." That is the sixth commandment. Kill in the King James; murder, which is a better translation of that Hebrew word ratsach, "You shall not murder." And so, we want to talk today about "The Heart of Murder."
Now, murder seems like a pretty easy thing to understand. You shall not murder! Okay. It's o ...
