Three Ways to Murder (7 of 11)
by Jeff Ginn
God loves life. He is the author of life. Genesis 2:7, ''Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living being.''Jesus loves life. In fact, the Bible says that he came that we might have life-and life more abundant! Satan hates life and loves death. In fact the same verse quoted above says that he has come to steal, to kill and to destroy. Is it any wonder then that we find within the ''Original Top Ten'' this command, ''Thou shalt not kill''? I want us to be very careful as we consider what God is saying. I say this because we live in an ''Alice-in-Wonderland''-type world. Black...

The Supreme Value of Human Life (6 of 10)
by Stan Coffey
Today we want to speak on the subject of ''The Supreme Value of Human Life.'' If you have your Bible I invite you to turn to Exodus 20:13. We are in this series of ''Timeless Values for Today's Family.'' One of the timeless values is the supreme value of human life. And in a day when human life has been so cheapened and seems so futile sometimes, we need to be reminded that one of the values upon which our country was built was the supreme value of human life. Human life was so important that Jesus came down from heaven into a world of woe. And He lived upon the earth 33 years and died on the cross because you and I are valuable...
Choose Life (6 of 10)
by Joe Alain
The sixth commandment as well as the seventh and eighth are expressed in only two words each in Hebrew. They could be translated simply, ''No killing, No adultery, No stealing.'' The foundation for this commandment is in the creation story, in which God made man in His own likeness (Gen. 1:26-27; 9:6). Human beings are of infinite value to our Creator. Since God is the creator of all human life, all human life is sacred. Nothing is more at the heart of what has been called the Judeo-Christian tradition than the sanctity of all human life, the valuing of all human life, the born and the unborn. As with all of the commandments...
Murder In The First Degree (7 of 11)
by Ken Trivette
In 1974, all over the city of New Orleans, billboards displayed in bold letters, ''Thou shalt not kill.'' Because of a runaway homicide rate, the city fathers wanted to remind citizens of the sixth commandment. In the sixth commandment, God approaches the issue of taking another human being's life. G. Campbell Morgan in his book, The Ten Commandments writes, ''The immensity of the issue of death is so great that there can be no sin against humanity, and, therefore, against God, greater than that of taking life. In the sixth commandment God states, ''Thou shalt not kill.''The commandment literally reads, ''Thou shalt not murder.'' There is a...
Choose Life (6 of 10)
by James Merritt
If you ever travel to Florida on vacation you don't have to look very long until you will see license plates with the message ''Choose Life.'' [Tim- see if you can put a picture of the tag on screen] Several years ago, Marion County Commissioner, Randy Harris, was driving behind a vehicle with a specialty license plate, when he envisioned a Choose Life specialty license plate. It took a while for this to finally get through the legislature and for a republican governor to sign it into law. When it was approved, the license plate took off. Since November of 1999, the Choose Life license plate has become the tenth best selling specialty tag in the...
Choose Life (6 of 9)
by Ernest Easley
Let me say to every parent here today that the most important job you have is to point your sons and daughters to Jesus Christ! More important than to work-front is the home-front! You say, ''Pastor .. I'm succeeding at the work-front but I'm failing at the home-front.'' Well .. I've got some goods for you: there is help for the home-front! In fact .. that's why God gave the Ten Commandments to start with! He gave them to the parents of the children of Israel .. so that when they arrived in the Promised Land .. that they could build godly homes in a godless land. So .. the Ten Commandments were given to parents to help them to fortify their...
What? Me, Murder? (6 of 10)
by Eric McQuitty
''Anything I do to exploit another person for my own selfish ends is to dehumanize--to murder--that other person'' (John Huffman). Introduction: the mosaic of murder. . . ''Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.'' Oh yeah? Not so in the Twilight Zone--or in real life, either. If you've ever been on the business end of hurtful words that pierce like arrows, you know that you can die a thousand deaths and still have a heartbeat. That brings us to the sixth commandment: ''You shall not murder'' (Ex. 20.13). Now you may not have killed anybody for quite some time! But God says murder is not just homicide. It's that and...
Let There Be Life
by Miles Seaborn
Four simple words. ''Pastor, can't we skip this one? This never happens to me.'' I doubt if we have any ''hit'' men/women in our church. Clarence Darrow said, ''I've never killed anyone but I've read a lot of obituaries with glee.'' ILL. By the time the average America child gets to the sixth grade, they have witnessed 6,000 murders (TV- Movies) and 100,000 acts of violence. Every 22 minutes someone is stabbed, shot, choked, beaten in our country. Highest homicide rate in the world! More children die from violence than they do illness. So Simple! - You shall not kill, yet often misunderstood, applied I. WHAT DOES THIS...
Value Life
by David Cawston
Introduction: The results of the deception of Humanism has been the devaluation of life. Humanism had its roots in the early part of this century. With the scientific age and increased knowledge came the foundation for humanism. Humanism declares that I am the master of my fate and that the human experience is the highest experience available to man. I am the most valuable thing in my world. It pretends to lift the value of life but instead discredits it. Back in the early 1920's there was a science called eugenics. It was really developed in the late 1800's. It was the study of good and bad gene transmital as propagated through human...
The Sixth Commandment: The Sanctity of Life
by Jerry Vines
To get us into the sixth commandment, I want to read verse 12 which is the fifth commandment. Then we'll follow the flow of the commandments right on into verse 13. Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. Thou shalt not kill. In that statement our God, for all time, has established the sanctity of life. This week, President Bush, as he presented his 1991 Crime Bill said the killings on the streets of our nation must stop. They must stop now. He is saying basically what is given in this commandment - thou shalt not kill. In the preparation of my message this week, I decided...
The Sixth Commandment
by Adrian Rogers
Turn please to Exodus chapter twenty, Exodus chapter twenty as we're continuing our study in the Ten Commandments. Today our text is very short, very pungent, very pertinent and you will see in a moment, very personal because you may think of all of the commandments, this one does not apply to you or at least it's one that you may not have, may not have much relevance to you, but I think you'll change your mind if you'll listen to the message. In Exodus chapter twenty and verse thirteen, thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not kill. Now, by way of introduction, let's talk about what is not forbidden by this particular command, thou shalt not...
What's Yours Is Mine Whether You Want It to Be or Not (8 of 10)
by Robert Dawson
When I consider this universe and even the world in which we live I am struck by its natural beauty and am amazed at the intricate and complex design of how everything fits and works together --- all of creation is fine tuned. Walking out in the evening and looking up at the stars is a good reminder that our God is a God of order and design and has determined how everything in the created would fit and work together. Not only did God have an order and design for how all of nature would work together but as the master designer and architect He has a design for how society is to function. He had and has a design for how our families are to...
Thou Shalt Not Murder (5 of 8)
by Eddie Snipes
The last five commandments are all directly related to how we should treat each other. Our social culture is held together by God's moral laws and these are all fulfilled through one commandment – love your neighbor as yourself. Romans 13:9-10 explains: 9 For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not bear false witness," "You shall not covet," and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. Just as loving...

by Doug Tegner
So much in news past few weeks about murder. Jennifer Lin 5 Air Force Personnel in Spokane Of course, the grisly deaths of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman Murder is always a tragedy It always leaves others behind who have a long-term journey of coping Murder in cold-blood, destroys a human life, a life in the image of God A murderer takes the place of God determines when should die We know murder of a human is far different that killing an animal Drive by a carcass of a rodent or animal we call it Road Kill If drive by a person lying alongside the road we'd shudder and act If you have ever watched someone die especially if you have...
