The Rest of the Story (8 of 11)
by Jeff Ginn
The Wicked Bible of 1631 reported the Seventh Commandment as ''Thou shalt commit adultery,'' a mistake that infuriated King Charles. He ordered all copies destroyed and fined all printers whose hands had touched the edition. In our day and age, apparently there is an attempt to revive that version of the Bible. In daytime soap operas, percentage of sexual references to partners who are not married or not married to each other: 94. But no matter what some advocate God's word still stands: ''Thou shalt not commit adultery.'' Now, don't think that God is a prude. Last week we saw that God forbade murder because God created life and...
Honor Marriage (7 of 10)
by Robert Dawson
Have you ever watched an artist painting a portrait? They stare intently at their subject as they study every detail and nuance of their face and form so they can capture their very essence and likeness. If the artist does not carefully study his subject then the result will not be an image that captures the likeness and essence of a person but a distortion. It will not be an accurate representation of that person but a gross misrepresentation…a caricature of what was intended. - This is what has happened in our world today in the areas of (1) sexuality (2) marriage. - We have taken our eyes of God's...
What to Tell Your Children about Sex (7 of 10)
by Stan Coffey
We have been talking about ''Timeless Values For Today's Family'' and today we come to the seventh of the Ten Commandments. We have been talking about these timeless values that we were taught when we were younger and how we want to pass these values on to our children. As we look at these high school kids today we are reminded of the kind of world that they will grow up in. and the kind of world that confronts them and has confronted them as they have gone through the years of elementary school and middle school and high school and what they will face as they get to college. And today more than ever we live in a day that knocks...
Be Pure (7 of 10)
by Joe Alain
The seventh message in a series of ten sermons on the Ten Commandments. ''You shall not commit adultery.'' Exodus 20:14, NKJV 27 ''You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not commit adultery.' 28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.'' Matthew 5:27-28, NKJV At the outset, I am fully aware that the topic of adultery is a very sensitive one to many of you. Some of you have been on the receiving end of a lot of pain and devastation in your life and family because of adultery. You've come through some difficult situations but...
Forsaking All Others (8 of 11)
by Ken Trivette
In the marriage vows that I often use, at a certain point, I will ask the groom this question. ''In taking this woman that you hold by the right hand to be your wedded wife, before God and these witnesses, do you so promise to love her, honor her, cherish her in that relation, leaving all others cleaving only to her and be to her in all things a true and faithful husband so long as you both shall live?'' Then I ask the bride the same question. Their answer of ''I do,'' is a promise and vow made to each other that they will be faithful to one another. The seventh commandment is God's reminder of that promise and God's binder on the promise...
Sex and the City (7 of 10)
by James Merritt
I believe the Bible is the Word of God and I know that many of you do as well. Let me ask you this question, ''Would you give $89,500 for one Bible?'' Well, you just might if it was ''the wicked bible''. There is a reason why it is not only called the ''wicked bible'', but it is so valuable. It is because it has probably the mother of all misprints of any book ever published in history. In 1631, King Charles I ordered one-thousand Bibles from an English printer, named Robert Barker. It was almost flawlessly done, but there was one small, but unbelievable typographical error. In the seventh commandment, they left out the little word ''not'' and so in...
Choose Life (7 of 9)
by Ernest Easley
We are learning these days from the Word of God Ten Guidelines for building a godly home! Take your Bible and turn with me to Exodus 20. What Fathers and Mothers need is some information to help them build godly homes and to say along with John in 3 John 4, ''I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.''I read recently about two men at bar who notice another man sitting near them that kept falling off of a stool into the floor. They watched him fall off of a stool four times until finally they decided to help him get home safely. So .. each man took an arm and headed to the door. This poor man fell down four times...
God's Sanity for Your Sexuality (7 of 10)
by Eric McQuitty
''People make all kinds of choices in their lives. Some drink. Some smoke. Some eat too much. That wasn't me. My pleasure was being with women'' (Earvin ''Magic'' Johnson). Introduction: what's wrong with sex between unmarried adults? In his book, The Myth of Greener Grass, J. Allan Petersen tells of a woman who was at lunch with eleven other women. They had been studying French while their children were in nursery school. One woman asked the group, ''How many of you have been faithful to your husbands throughout your marriage?'' Only one woman at the table raised her hand. That evening, this woman told her...
1 + 1 = 1 (7 of 10)
by Dennis Marquardt
INTRO: The culture we live in today scoffs at the concept of sexual fidelity in marriage, consider the following: ILLUS: The conclusion made by a study of 104 leading television writers and executives conducted by the Center for Media and Public Affairs, the study found that Hollywood's views run far from the mainstream of public opinion. Some examples: Though 85 percent of Americans believe adultery is wrong, only 49 percent of TV writers and executives do. Everyone else is less likely than Hollywood to say a woman has a right to an abortion (59 to 97 percent). While only 4 percent of Americans have no religious affiliation, 45...
Respect Others
by David Cawston
Introduction: People are not to be used, abused and discarded. This seventh commandment seems very clear. It address wrongful sexual relationships. Defined. Adultery : The reason being is that sexual union is a powerful force. God intended it to be that way when used properly.There is a powerful mystery of oneness that takes place with the physical sexual union. God recognized that in his covenant with Abraham. He blessed Hagar because she had had a sexual union with Abram and bore him a son. The promises to Abraham were kept with Hagar. It involves two people that become one not only physically but also spiritually...
America's Affection with Adultery (2 of 5)
by Ernest Easley
Thank you choir! I am so glad to be an American! And yet... I'm sad as an American! Make no mistake about it! I'm glad to be an American and yet I'm sad as an American. For America is entering the new millennium with an affection with adultery. And what's an affection for some is an infection for all. Today, America has a fondness for adultery which we're going to see this morning is fatal! I don't think there's a person here today or that's watching on television that wouldn't agree that America needs a revival! We say in our pledge that we're ''One Nation Under God'' and yet we're living as though we are ''One Nation Above God.'' By and large...
Avoid Adultery (9 of 32)
by Harley Howard
Again, as in chapters 2,5 and 6, the warning to avoid adultery is preceded by the only way to avoid it, and that is by acquiring and obeying God's wisdom. It is not enough to "know the Scriptures" it takes the application of them to life to avoid the trap of adultery. 1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee...
Adultery's Hidden Root (14 of 34)
by Robert Dawson
A few weeks ago I confessed to my inadequacies and ineptitude when it comes to all things mechanical. My philosophy is if something is broken that's why they sell new ones. I am not much of an outdoorsman either. I don't hunt. I don't live to go out and shoot something furry that is bouncing around the woods, whether it has antlers on it or not. I am not opposed to eating what you shoot and cook but it's just not for me. There's just something about hiking through the cold dark woods so I can go climb a tree and sit there waiting for Bambi to walk out and blow him into oblivion that doesn't register with me! One thing, I don't like heights. It's not...
Do Not Committ Adultery (7 of 10)
by Ike Reighard
I honestly believe that other than death, nothing causes as much pain in a family than adultery. In some ways it is more devastating because trust has been shattered, and what was an alive, thriving marriage is turned into a "zombie state" of sleepwalking through the remaining years of the marriage. Even when the marriage survives and dodges the bullet of divorce, the resulting scars are tattooed on the hearts of adultery victims. Adultery indicates that: **I no longer value you.**My desires are more important than you. If the Sixth Commandment on killing prohibits the unwarranted taking of a life, the Seventh Commandment prohibits taking the life out of a marriage. Adultery is taking that which does not...
Forsaking All Others So Long As We Both Shall Live (8 of 11)
by Ken Trivette
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, each year 2.3 million couples marry in America. For some, their marriage will become a special, sacred and satisfying relationship. For others, their marriage will be anything and everything but a happy marriage. This is evident in the number of divorces that occur each year. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, nearly half of the recent first marriages may end in divorce. According to one study I read 49 out of 100 marriages in the United States end in divorce. For many, their marriage will not end in divorce, but their relationship is more endured than enjoyed. A little boy took a history...
