Sixth Commandment

And if anything else is happening, it's people pretending to be married, but not really being married.

Children, praise the Lord, are not part of the sixth commandment question.

For them, they're not yet an adult.

And so the idea of being husband and wife is not possible yet for the children.

Right.

And that one day, most likely you're going to grow up and get married is really great.

Like we don't have to talk about, like you were talking about the sixth commandment.

They don't need to know a lot of the stuff that they're going to be facing when they get older.

Uh, so we, we have work to do.

Remember, Satan hates God, and therefore, Satan hates Us and wants to-- And the most, the most reliable way to have us betray God is to betray the First Commandment; and the way to get us to betray the First Commandment is to have us betray the Sixth Commandment.

And we have a culture that is perfectly designed to make us crazy and do stupid things with our bodies in a way that damages our souls.

And I just wanna run and yell at the world and say, "Wake up.

And then Jesus gives an example.

He talks about the floor of the sixth commandment, thou shalt not murder.

And then he explains the ceiling of that commandment.

We'll pick up in verse 21.

The floor of the law was murder.

The ceiling of the law is loving your enemy, speaking with love.

So let me ask you, how are you doing? Have you broken the sixth commandment today? I'm not asking if you've murdered someone with a weapon.

I'm asking, have you murdered someone in your heart with secret anger towards them, with unkind words about them? Well, if that's the case, just count me guilty.
