(Theme Song)
00:00:01.26\00:00:06.46
Jesus is worthy
00:00:06.46\00:00:09.73
oh yes, he's worthy
00:00:09.73\00:00:15.20
worthy of all...
00:00:15.20\00:00:18.73
(Music) PB: Thou shalt not kill.
00:00:18.73\00:00:28.13
In other words,
you shall not murder.
00:00:28.13\00:00:32.63
Not merely
killing, but murdering,
00:00:32.63\00:00:36.96
which would probably be a
better word for us tonight.
00:00:36.96\00:00:40.70
You shall not murder.
00:00:40.70\00:00:43.60
This commandment, commandment
number six, love letter
00:00:43.60\00:00:47.83
number 6, speaks
of immoral acts of
00:00:47.83\00:00:51.73
people who take the lives
of others without any regard.
00:00:51.73\00:00:55.06
Senseless killings.
00:00:55.06\00:00:58.33
In fact, you and I, we've
grown to know that the world
00:00:58.33\00:01:03.33
in which we live is
filled with killing fields.
00:01:03.33\00:01:07.00
We now live, unfortunately,
in a culture of killing.
00:01:07.00\00:01:12.63
We've almost grown
accustomed to prepare
00:01:12.63\00:01:15.86
ourselves for the next killing.
00:01:15.86\00:01:18.10
It's almost commonplace now
that when you watch the 6:00
00:01:18.10\00:01:22.70
news, it is almost
expected that someone
00:01:22.70\00:01:27.33
has been killed each day.
00:01:27.33\00:01:30.53
And you wonder why this
commandment has gotten lost in
00:01:30.53\00:01:34.63
the web of all this activity.
00:01:34.63\00:01:36.30
In the maze of a culture of
killing, do we still hear God
00:01:36.30\00:01:42.76
speaking clearly and definitely:
00:01:42.76\00:01:48.33
Thou shalt not kill.
00:01:48.33\00:01:50.23
Now, when this commandment
was given, it was given
00:01:50.23\00:01:54.06
to a group of men
and women, you will
00:01:54.06\00:01:56.63
remember, who had been
recently released from living
00:01:56.63\00:01:59.56
under the tyranny
of oppression in Egypt.
00:01:59.56\00:02:02.03
Pharaoh governed their ways.
00:02:02.03\00:02:04.83
Pharaoh told them
when, where and how.
00:02:04.83\00:02:09.86
They had restrictions,
they had rules, they had laws to
00:02:09.86\00:02:13.43
tailor make their day.
00:02:13.43\00:02:15.43
But now this new group who had
been emancipated, who had been
00:02:15.43\00:02:18.96
freed, this group
was now on its own.
00:02:18.96\00:02:21.93
And often they would
senselessly kill anybody if
00:02:21.93\00:02:24.60
they violated someone.
00:02:24.60\00:02:26.23
And so this commandment was
not off limits to all killings
00:02:26.23\00:02:29.93
in Jewish culture, because
there had been some killings
00:02:29.93\00:02:32.76
that had been designed by the
community to keep the control
00:02:32.76\00:02:35.23
and order of the community.
00:02:35.23\00:02:36.53
But God had said to
them, Thou shalt not kill.
00:02:36.53\00:02:42.76
And as he speaks of this
killing, the heart of the
00:02:42.76\00:02:45.30
matter is this: You are not
to take the right of God in your
00:02:45.30\00:02:50.20
hands.
00:02:50.20\00:02:51.33
That God is the only one
who has the right to give life,
00:02:51.33\00:02:55.66
and he's the only one who
has the right to take life.
00:02:55.66\00:02:58.36
And that is the
succinct interpretation of this
00:02:58.36\00:03:01.96
passage, that God is
the one who has the right to
00:03:01.96\00:03:06.56
be the author and
orchestrator of life.
00:03:06.56\00:03:09.20
Not man, but God.
00:03:09.20\00:03:10.36
And God says,
Thou shalt not kill.
00:03:10.36\00:03:14.63
So tonight, don't kill.
00:03:14.63\00:03:18.73
Don't plan to kill, don't
pay somebody to kill, don't pray
00:03:18.73\00:03:24.90
that somebody be killed.
00:03:24.90\00:03:27.50
Thou shalt not kill.
00:03:27.50\00:03:32.13
So tonight, how are
we going to handle this?
00:03:32.13\00:03:36.16
Abortion, euthanasia,
mercy killing, suicide, war.
00:03:36.16\00:03:44.36
Colossians 3:17 says, Whatever
you do in word or deed, do it
00:03:44.36\00:03:50.90
in the name of Jesus.
00:03:50.90\00:03:54.30
And whatever you
cannot do in the name of Jesus
00:03:54.30\00:03:59.43
ought not be done.
00:03:59.43\00:04:01.20
If you cannot perform abortion
in the name of Jesus, it
00:04:01.20\00:04:06.00
ought not be done.
00:04:06.00\00:04:07.10
If you cannot mercy
kill somebody in the name of
00:04:07.10\00:04:10.50
Jesus, don't do it.
00:04:10.50\00:04:12.03
If you cannot inject lethally
a person and take their life
00:04:12.03\00:04:15.60
away in the name
of Jesus, don't do it.
00:04:15.60\00:04:18.43
If you cannot commit
suicide in the name of Jesus,
00:04:18.43\00:04:22.23
don't do it.
00:04:22.23\00:04:22.96
If you cannot engage in
war in the name of Jesus,
00:04:22.96\00:04:26.70
don't do it.
00:04:26.70\00:04:27.60
Someone says tonight, Pastor
Byrd, none of that affects me.
00:04:27.60\00:04:31.66
You think you're off the hook.
00:04:31.66\00:04:32.93
But you remember when
Jesus came, Jesus didn't come to
00:04:32.93\00:04:36.36
destroy the law, he
came to fulfill the law.
00:04:36.36\00:04:38.96
Because he knew that the
average one of us would never
00:04:38.96\00:04:42.26
take up arms against another
person and take their life.
00:04:42.26\00:04:45.13
And so Jesus comes on the
scene in Matthew 5, and he
00:04:45.13\00:04:50.46
begins to express and
expand on this commandment.
00:04:50.46\00:04:54.60
He gathers his group
of disciples around him in
00:04:54.60\00:04:56.86
Matthew 5:21 and
says, I know many of you
00:04:56.86\00:05:00.26
have never killed anybody.
00:05:00.26\00:05:01.56
And so you feel
that commandment number
00:05:01.56\00:05:04.20
six is not for you.
00:05:04.20\00:05:05.20
Thou shalt not kill.
00:05:05.20\00:05:06.63
But Jesus said, I
want to tell you something.
00:05:06.63\00:05:09.30
You've heard that it was said
to the people long ago, thou
00:05:09.30\00:05:12.96
shalt not kill, and
anyone who murders was
00:05:12.96\00:05:15.86
subject to judgment.
00:05:15.86\00:05:17.30
Jesus said, I
know you heard that.
00:05:17.30\00:05:19.86
Chapter 5, verse 22 further
points out, any one of you in
00:05:19.86\00:05:23.50
here who is angry
with their brother will be
00:05:23.50\00:05:26.26
subject to judgment.
00:05:26.26\00:05:27.70
Again I tell you this: anyone
who says to their brother,
00:05:27.70\00:05:30.56
"Raca!" is
answerable to the Sanhedrin.
00:05:30.56\00:05:33.23
But any one of you who
says, thou fool, shall be in the
00:05:33.23\00:05:37.13
danger of hellfire.
00:05:37.13\00:05:38.96
It's amazing that God
takes this speech business
00:05:38.96\00:05:45.40
very seriously.
00:05:45.40\00:05:47.03
Because now God has
moved from the act of murder
00:05:47.03\00:05:51.43
to the attitude of murder.
00:05:51.43\00:05:53.70
What about killing someone's
character with your tongue?
00:05:53.70\00:05:57.43
What about talking about
somebody with your tongue?
00:05:57.43\00:06:01.30
What about your tongue?
00:06:01.30\00:06:02.86
Because the Bible says
in Proverbs 18 that the
00:06:02.86\00:06:06.03
power of life and
death are in the tongue.
00:06:06.03\00:06:08.96
We've got all these Bible
quoting, commandment-keeping,
00:06:08.96\00:06:12.66
hand-clapping, foot-stomping
folk who don't know how to
00:06:12.66\00:06:15.26
guard their tongue.
00:06:15.26\00:06:16.30
They kill with their tongue.
00:06:16.30\00:06:19.80
And if you break
one commandment, you're
00:06:19.80\00:06:23.96
guilty of breaking all.
00:06:23.96\00:06:25.13
The Bible says, "Thou
shalt not kill." But not only
00:06:25.13\00:06:30.50
killing with your tongue,
but I go to part two of this
00:06:30.50\00:06:35.53
message tonight because
we don't only kill with our
00:06:35.53\00:06:39.16
tongues, but many of us
kill with what we put on
00:06:39.16\00:06:43.00
our tongues.
00:06:43.00\00:06:45.90
With what we put on our
tongues, we kill our bodies,
00:06:45.90\00:06:53.73
with stuff that has
no business in them.
00:06:53.73\00:07:00.83
The Apostle Paul said in I
Corinthians 10:31, "Whether
00:07:00.83\00:07:05.66
therefore ye eat, or drink,
or whatsoever ye do, do all to
00:07:05.66\00:07:20.03
the glory of God." Paul
said in I Corinthians 6:19-20,
00:07:20.03\00:07:27.90
"What? know ye not
that your body is the
00:07:27.90\00:07:31.50
temple of the Holy
Ghost which is in you,
00:07:31.50\00:07:35.03
which ye have of God,
and ye are not your own?
00:07:35.03\00:07:38.26
For ye are bought with a
price: therefore glorify God
00:07:38.26\00:07:43.63
in your body, and in
your spirit, which are God's."
00:07:43.63\00:07:50.93
Those who disobey God's rules
of health will be destroyed.
00:07:50.93\00:07:55.76
I Corinthians 3:16-17:
"Know ye not that ye are
00:07:55.76\00:08:01.43
the temple of God,
and that the Spirit of God
00:08:01.43\00:08:05.63
dwelleth in you?
00:08:05.63\00:08:07.46
If any man defile the temple
of God, him shall God destroy;
00:08:07.46\00:08:12.63
for the temple of God is
holy, which temple ye are."
00:08:12.63\00:08:21.43
Thou shalt not kill.
00:08:21.43\00:08:25.36
One way we are killing,
what we put on our tongues.
00:08:25.36\00:08:34.76
One way we are killing,
what we put in our bodies.
00:08:34.76\00:08:39.30
Is the drinking, the
sipping, the gulping of alcohol.
00:08:39.30\00:08:47.13
Oh, well, it's
getting quiet in here tonight.
00:08:47.13\00:08:50.03
I know it's Saturday night and
it's going to hurt somebody's
00:08:50.03\00:08:54.93
feelings, but if God said
it, that settles it. Proverbs.
00:08:54.93\00:08:59.86
What book did I say?
00:08:59.86\00:09:00.83
Talking about thou
shalt not kill and what we
00:09:00.83\00:09:04.66
put on our tongues.
00:09:04.66\00:09:08.40
Proverbs 20:1, the Word of God
says to us, "Wine is a mocker,
00:09:08.40\00:09:23.80
strong drink is raging:
and whosoever is deceived
00:09:23.80\00:09:31.36
thereby is not wise."
00:09:31.36\00:09:36.03
If you and Jesus
can't sit on the porch
00:09:36.03\00:09:39.66
drinking it up, then
you gotta leave it alone.
00:09:39.66\00:09:42.20
Come on, say Amen.
00:09:42.20\00:09:44.66
Now go with me to Galatians.
00:09:44.66\00:09:46.83
Let's get some New Testament.
00:09:46.83\00:09:49.93
Someone said wine,
that's Old Testament.
00:09:49.93\00:09:53.40
I thought a little
wine was good for the soul.
00:09:53.40\00:09:55.80
Galatians 5:21:
"Envyings, murders, drunkenness,
00:09:55.80\00:10:04.16
revellings, and such like:
of the which I tell you before,
00:10:04.16\00:10:07.83
as I have also told you in
time past, that they which do
00:10:07.83\00:10:11.83
such things shall not inherit
the kingdom of God." Tonight
00:10:11.83\00:10:21.03
I'm trying to help somebody.
00:10:21.03\00:10:23.66
God says, "Thou shalt not
kill." Those who are guilty of
00:10:23.66\00:10:29.26
killing their bodies through
alcohol, you will not inherit
00:10:29.26\00:10:33.56
the kingdom of God.
00:10:33.56\00:10:35.30
I'm helping you
physically and I'm helping you
00:10:35.30\00:10:38.93
economically too.
00:10:38.93\00:10:40.26
"I can do all things through
Christ which strengthens me."
00:10:40.26\00:10:47.43
Pastor, what you talking
about smoking a cigarette?
00:10:47.43\00:10:50.53
Well, let me be clear.
00:10:50.53\00:10:52.10
Tobacco. Marijuana.
00:10:52.10\00:10:53.90
But it's for
medicinal purposes. Marijuana.
00:10:53.90\00:10:59.73
If you and God can't
sit on the porch and smoke,
00:10:59.73\00:11:03.00
it ought not be done.
00:11:03.00\00:11:04.53
Leave it alone in
the name of Jesus.
00:11:04.53\00:11:07.96
Any doctor will tell you that
lung cancer is out of control.
00:11:07.96\00:11:12.36
Throat cancer and cancer of
the mouth are out of control.
00:11:12.36\00:11:17.13
But because I'm a child
of God, I can do all things
00:11:17.13\00:11:20.70
through Christ
which strengtheneth me.
00:11:20.70\00:11:25.83
Tonight somebody, your
diet is going to change for
00:11:25.83\00:11:29.93
the rest of your life.
00:11:29.93\00:11:31.53
Go with me to Leviticus 11:1:
"Speak unto the children of
00:11:31.53\00:11:46.60
Israel, saying, These are
the beasts which ye shall eat
00:11:46.60\00:11:55.10
among all the beasts
that are on the earth.
00:11:55.10\00:11:58.13
Whatsoever parteth the
hoof, and is clovenfooted, and
00:11:58.13\00:12:02.36
cheweth the cud, among
the beasts, that shall ye eat.
00:12:02.36\00:12:05.76
Nevertheless these shall ye
not eat of them that chew the
00:12:05.76\00:12:10.63
cud, or of them that
divide the hoof: as the camel,
00:12:10.63\00:12:13.40
because he cheweth the cud,
but divideth not the hoof; he
00:12:13.40\00:12:17.36
is unclean unto you.
00:12:17.36\00:12:19.03
And the coney, because he
cheweth the cud, but divideth
00:12:19.03\00:12:23.33
not the hoof; he
is unclean unto you.
00:12:23.33\00:12:26.86
And the hare," which is
the rabbit, "because he cheweth
00:12:26.86\00:12:29.56
the cud, but divideth not the
hoof; he is unclean unto you."
00:12:29.56\00:12:32.33
Verse number 7
says, And the what?
00:12:32.33\00:12:36.73
Say it like you mean it.
00:12:36.73\00:12:38.43
That's it, that's pig.
00:12:38.43\00:12:39.56
That's the hog.
00:12:39.56\00:12:43.93
"Though he divide the hoof,
and be clovenfooted, yet he
00:12:43.93\00:12:49.36
cheweth not the cud; he is
unclean to you." Thou shalt
00:12:49.36\00:12:53.70
not kill, you're killing your
body, God said don't touch it,
00:12:53.70\00:12:58.60
don't eat it, it is unclean.
00:12:58.60\00:13:00.20
Heart disease,
hypertension would be lower
00:13:00.20\00:13:11.13
if you didn't eat pork.
00:13:11.13\00:13:12.16
I wish I had a
witness in this place.
00:13:12.16\00:13:14.90
You gotta leave it
alone, in the name of Jesus.
00:13:14.90\00:13:19.23
Getting quiet up in here.
00:13:19.23\00:13:22.30
Let's get some more of this.
00:13:22.30\00:13:24.66
Verse 9, you ready?
00:13:24.66\00:13:27.56
Ready or not, I'm coming anyway.
00:13:27.56\00:13:30.66
Come on, say Amen.
00:13:30.66\00:13:32.13
Verse 9: "These shall ye eat
of all that are in the waters:
00:13:32.13\00:13:35.53
whatsoever hath fins and
scales in the waters, in the
00:13:35.53\00:13:40.23
seas, and in the
rivers, them shall ye eat.
00:13:40.23\00:13:43.76
And all that have not fins and
scales in the seas, and in the
00:13:43.76\00:13:46.90
rivers, of all that move in
the waters, and of any living
00:13:46.90\00:13:49.13
thing which is in the
waters, they shall be an
00:13:49.13\00:13:52.40
abomination unto you.
00:13:52.40\00:13:53.53
They shall be even an
abomination unto you; ye shall
00:13:53.53\00:13:56.26
not eat of their flesh, but
ye shall have their carcasses
00:13:56.26\00:13:58.76
in abomination.
00:13:58.76\00:14:00.10
Whatsoever hath no fins
nor scales in the waters,
00:14:00.10\00:14:02.43
that shall be an
abomination unto you.
00:14:02.43\00:14:04.36
And these are they which
ye shall have in abomination
00:14:04.36\00:14:08.13
among the fowls," the
birds; "they shall not be eaten,
00:14:08.13\00:14:10.50
they are an abomination:
the eagle, and the ossifrage,
00:14:10.50\00:14:15.80
and the osprey, And the vulture,
00:14:15.80\00:14:19.10
and the kite after his kind;
Every raven after his kind."
00:14:19.10\00:14:26.73
I thought God said
we could eat ravens.
00:14:26.73\00:14:30.13
Elijah ate them.
00:14:30.13\00:14:32.33
No, Elijah didn't eat ravens.
00:14:32.33\00:14:34.53
Raven brought food
to Elijah, but Elijah
00:14:34.53\00:14:38.33
didn't eat the raven.
00:14:38.33\00:14:41.06
Check the word.
00:14:41.06\00:14:43.23
"The owl, and the night hawk,
and the cuckow, and the hawk
00:14:43.23\00:14:50.30
after his kind, And the little
owl, and the cormorant, and
00:14:50.30\00:14:56.43
the great owl, And the swan,"
that's duck," and the pelican,
00:14:56.43\00:15:03.43
and the gier eagle, And
the stork, the heron after her
00:15:03.43\00:15:07.36
kind, and the lapwing, and
the bat." Who in their right
00:15:07.36\00:15:13.03
mind would eat bats?
00:15:13.03\00:15:16.10
Somebody say barbecued bats.
00:15:16.10\00:15:18.30
"All fowls that creep, going
upon all four, shall be" what
00:15:18.30\00:15:26.33
unto you, everybody?
00:15:26.33\00:15:27.83
Now let's stop here.
00:15:27.83\00:15:30.53
I'm trying to help
somebody make a meal tonight.
00:15:30.53\00:15:34.90
Go and eat some beans and
rice, you'll be all right.
00:15:34.90\00:15:37.90
Come on, say Amen.
00:15:37.90\00:15:39.90
Shrimp! Oh, I
said something wrong.
00:15:39.90\00:15:47.06
Shrimp, talking about
"Thou shalt not kill."
00:15:47.06\00:15:51.66
Shrimp is a scavenger.
00:15:51.66\00:15:55.36
Pastor Byrd, I kinda
like--it's a scavenger.
00:15:55.36\00:16:02.13
Thou shalt not kill.
00:16:02.13\00:16:04.96
I can do all things
through whom? Christ,
00:16:04.96\00:16:07.76
which strengthens me.
00:16:07.76\00:16:09.26
Let me bowl down
somebody's alley.
00:16:09.26\00:16:11.76
Lobster. Yes.
00:16:11.76\00:16:16.06
It's a scavenger.
00:16:16.06\00:16:21.13
I can do all things
through whom? Christ,
00:16:21.13\00:16:26.06
which strengtheneth me.
00:16:26.06\00:16:29.30
Let me go bowl
somebody else's alley.
00:16:29.30\00:16:31.70
Somebody said no
more, no more, no more.
00:16:31.70\00:16:34.80
Catfish. Yes.
00:16:34.80\00:16:39.03
It's a scavenger.
00:16:39.03\00:16:44.33
The Bible says, "Thou shalt
not kill." But I can do what?
00:16:44.33\00:16:49.06
Through whom?
00:16:49.06\00:16:50.76
Christ, which what?
00:16:50.76\00:16:52.80
Somebody says,
Pastor, what can we eat?
00:16:52.80\00:17:03.46
Well, praise God, we have
come tonight to help you from
00:17:03.46\00:17:08.56
the Word of God.
00:17:08.56\00:17:11.40
Because we thought with
this commandment that we were
00:17:11.40\00:17:15.03
limited to people who
would kill other people.
00:17:15.03\00:17:19.06
But the reality is, many of
us are killing our bodies each
00:17:19.06\00:17:22.30
and every day. And God
says, "Thou shalt not kill."
00:17:22.30\00:17:26.70
I don't have any
creative, innovative way to
00:17:26.70\00:17:30.90
preach and teach it.
00:17:30.90\00:17:32.53
I've got to preach it the old
school way, just God said it,
00:17:32.53\00:17:36.73
and that settles it.
00:17:36.73\00:17:39.90
And I can do all things,
I can do what, everybody?
00:17:39.90\00:17:42.96
All things through
Christ which strengtheneth me.
00:17:42.96\00:17:46.63
All right, somebody
says, what am I going
00:17:46.63\00:17:50.46
to put in my greens?
00:17:50.46\00:17:51.90
Put some good vegetable
seasonings in your greens.
00:17:51.90\00:17:53.50
And you can get the vegetable
seasonings and get off the
00:17:53.50\00:17:56.06
pork seasonings and put
some turkey seasoning in there.
00:17:56.06\00:17:58.60
Come on, say Amen.
00:17:58.60\00:17:59.76
I'm trying to help
you get off the bridge.
00:17:59.76\00:18:02.16
Now, you've got to get off
the pork, and you've got to
00:18:02.16\00:18:04.33
graduall,y move.
00:18:04.33\00:18:05.43
but in the name of Jesus,
I can do all things through
00:18:05.43\00:18:11.20
Christ which strengtheneth me.
00:18:11.20\00:18:12.40
Some of you will still be able
to have a good Thanksgiving.
00:18:12.40\00:18:14.80
Come on, say Amen.
00:18:14.80\00:18:16.96
Now, let's look at the list.
00:18:16.96\00:18:18.40
You see the list.
00:18:18.40\00:18:19.46
Do you have the list.
00:18:19.46\00:18:21.36
Sister Peggy, bring me a list.
00:18:21.36\00:18:24.56
Do you have a list?
00:18:24.56\00:18:25.90
Let me hear you say Amen.
00:18:25.90\00:18:28.40
All right, let's
look at the list.
00:18:28.40\00:18:33.26
Lord have mercy.
00:18:33.26\00:18:34.46
Let's look at what we
shouldn't eat, because loves
00:18:34.46\00:18:37.23
us and created our bodies.
00:18:37.23\00:18:39.13
Pig. Coon. Possum. Squirrel.
00:18:39.13\00:18:48.00
Turtle. Horse. Rabbit. Snake.
00:18:48.00\00:18:54.13
I had someone say to
me one time, "Snake tastes
00:18:54.13\00:19:01.26
like chicken." I said,
"I don't want to know."
00:19:01.26\00:19:05.43
Frog. Let's look at the fish.
00:19:05.43\00:19:08.26
Catfish, eel, lobster,
crab, oysters, shrimp, crayfish,
00:19:08.26\00:19:28.33
shark and whale.
00:19:28.33\00:19:31.86
Shortenings, oil, you've
got to cook in the right stuff.
00:19:31.86\00:19:35.83
Hog lard, or any grease or
oil made with hog or pig fat.
00:19:35.83\00:19:40.96
Drinks: beer,
whiskey, wine, gin.
00:19:40.96\00:19:52.13
And you say, Pastor Byrd, all
that caffeine drink and soda?
00:19:52.13\00:19:55.90
Yeah, we got to
get off that Coca-Cola.
00:19:55.90\00:19:58.10
It's not good for
you, it's a stimulant.
00:19:58.10\00:20:02.13
All that caffeine.
00:20:02.13\00:20:03.50
Drink Sprite.
00:20:03.50\00:20:04.83
Do I have a
witness in this place?
00:20:04.83\00:20:07.03
And you know
what the reality is?
00:20:07.03\00:20:09.83
We all need to drink more water.
00:20:09.83\00:20:11.83
Come on, say Amen.
00:20:11.83\00:20:14.43
Isaiah 66:15:
Thou shalt not kill.
00:20:14.43\00:20:26.90
For, behold, the Lord will
come with fire, and with his
00:20:26.90\00:20:38.26
chariots like a whirlwind,
to render his anger with fury,
00:20:38.26\00:20:43.00
and his rebuke
with flames of fire.
00:20:43.00\00:20:46.76
For by fire and by his sword
will the Lord plead with all
00:20:46.76\00:20:53.00
flesh: and the slain
of the Lord shall be many.
00:20:53.00\00:20:58.80
They that sanctify themselves,
and purify themselves in the
00:20:58.80\00:21:07.00
gardens behind one tree in
the midst, eating swine's flesh,
00:21:07.00\00:21:15.56
and the abomination, and
the mouse, shall be consumed
00:21:15.56\00:21:26.26
together, saith the
Lord." For too long we have felt
00:21:26.26\00:21:38.30
commandment number six is
relegated to those who are on
00:21:38.30\00:21:43.06
the 6:00 news.
00:21:43.06\00:21:45.53
But it's more than just
who we see on the 6:00 news.
00:21:45.53\00:21:52.80
It's also who we kill with
our conversation and speech.
00:21:52.80\00:21:58.50
There are angels recording
everything we say and do.
00:21:58.50\00:22:05.83
We think this is
limited to the 6:00 news,
00:22:05.83\00:22:10.63
and then what we say.
00:22:10.63\00:22:12.16
God is telling us tonight
with our bodies, they are his
00:22:12.16\00:22:17.36
temples, they have
been bought with a price.
00:22:17.36\00:22:22.56
The price was Jesus' shed blood.
00:22:22.56\00:22:28.06
And he is saying that those
unclean meats, the alcohol,
00:22:28.06\00:22:34.03
the cigarettes, he's
saying, because your body is my
00:22:34.03\00:22:39.00
temple, because those things
are unclean, God is saying
00:22:39.00\00:22:43.56
if you love me,
refrain from putting these
00:22:43.56\00:22:51.13
things in your bodies.
00:22:51.13\00:22:53.66
Because when I created
you I never intended for these
00:22:53.66\00:22:58.26
things to be
ingested and eaten by you.
00:22:58.26\00:23:04.56
Tonight, as with all the other
nights, it's not about rules,
00:23:04.56\00:23:13.30
it's not about regulations.
00:23:13.30\00:23:16.40
It's not about do's,
it's not about don'ts.
00:23:16.40\00:23:22.13
It's all about
God's language of love.
00:23:22.13\00:23:31.53
If I go to a restaurant,
because I love my wife and
00:23:31.53\00:23:37.93
because she may have slipped
out to the restroom, she says,
00:23:37.93\00:23:41.80
"Order for me, honey, what
I like," I'm going to order
00:23:41.80\00:23:48.00
for her what she likes.
00:23:48.00\00:23:51.40
I'm going to order for
her what she loves to eat.
00:23:51.40\00:23:56.26
If I go to Maggiano's, I
know what my wife loves to eat.
00:23:56.26\00:24:03.10
I order eggplant parmigiano.
00:24:03.10\00:24:08.06
Because that's
what she loves to eat.
00:24:08.06\00:24:13.00
If I go to Maggiano's and
I slip out to the restaurant,
00:24:13.00\00:24:16.86
and my wife orders for me,
she knows what I love to eat.
00:24:16.86\00:24:23.03
She's going to order for
me the fried zucchini with the
00:24:23.03\00:24:27.56
nice little sauce, because
that's what I love to eat.
00:24:27.56\00:24:33.96
When you love God, it's not
about what you want, but it's
00:24:33.96\00:24:41.06
all about what he wants.
00:24:41.06\00:24:44.06
When you love God, it's not
about what you want to drink,
00:24:44.06\00:24:49.00
it's not about what you
want to eat, it's about what God
00:24:49.00\00:24:52.00
would have you eat, and
what God would have you drink.
00:24:52.00\00:24:58.26
It's all about love.
00:24:58.26\00:25:04.23
The first four commandments
deal with our love for God.
00:25:04.23\00:25:10.73
The final six
commandments deal with our love
00:25:10.73\00:25:15.40
for one another.
00:25:15.40\00:25:17.43
And tonight God says, if you
love me, thou shalt not kill.
00:25:17.43\00:25:27.70

00:26:24.93\00:26:26.86
>: We'd all like to live
healthier lives, but doing so
00:26:26.86\00:26:30.43
and maintaining it
aren't always so easy.
00:26:30.43\00:26:33.10
It's hard when the foods we
love are also the foods that
00:26:33.10\00:26:35.53
can hurt us the most, and when
it's easier to watch TV than
00:26:35.53\00:26:38.43
it is to exercise.
00:26:38.43\00:26:39.96
What we need are
straight answers and some
00:26:39.96\00:26:42.40
encouragement.
00:26:42.40\00:26:43.66
