Harvest messages are brought to you by harvest partners receive free email daily devotions were to become a harvest partner, please visit us online@harvest.org and let's the Bible to two passages today exit is chapter 20 and Matthew chapter 5 houses for a sermon title violence and sex that is my message title you seen it. Warnings on the screen before TV program is about to play a word of warning. The top agree about the explore may not be suitable for young listeners.
For you see a movie done of the theater in your thinking well do I want to go see this and that might warn you that there is violence and sex in the film. That's what I want to talk about but I don't want to glorify it, as is often the case, but I want to tell you what the Bible says about these two topics as were looking at the 10 Commandments. Now if nothing else comes from this series on the 10 Commandments part of a larger series on the life of Moses Coldwater Firestone. I hope you'll memorize the 10 Commandments in order to commandment number one you shall have no other gods before me commandment number two you shall have no graven images commandment number three. Do not take the Lord's name in vain. Commandment number four. Remember the Sabbath day.
Keep it holy. There's two tablets for the commandments on top of one final six on commandment to our on tablet two rather so tablet to commandment number one. Of that number six is to and it's 025 on a six notice. You must not kill or you shall not murder and then the next one is you shall not commit adultery. Let's talk about that violence, murder, our culture is awash in it. Everywhere you look you see you see it on your TV set. You see it in theaters you see it in music and video games and then you see it in real time. Even terrorist organizations executing people with four camera HD shoots but it's not fake. It's real.
The taking of lives. It's so overwhelming we become numb to it and it's all around us and just imagine how different our world would be if we would obey this commandment, thou shall not kill a better translation frankly is you shall not murder. I don't have time to go into this in death, but suffice it to say the Bible does not condemn all killing numbers 35 plainly states the difference which God places between killing and murder. As an example, all kill all murder is killing but not all, killing is necessarily murder example self-defense if someone were to break into your home, with the intent of harming or killing you and the members of your family does the Christian have the right to defend themselves. The answer is clearly yes this is supported in the Bible so don't be unclear about that because some people might say will know someone broke in my house it would become my family just pray why pray I get to my gun fast enough. That's okay. Sorry I don't mean that in a cavalier way. I mean that in a way of I want to do whatever I need to do to defend my family okay and that is our right and I would even add it your responsibility as a follower of Jesus Christ and so remember it. Remember, Jesus sent his disciples out and he told them take a sort. Why would they take a sword to do shish kebab meteors and that for self-defense. Clearly, and we also know that God is established the military and God is established law enforcement for our own protection. In fact, you could even say that the person in law enforcement or in the military is doing God's work, because Romans 13 says the authorities do not frighten people who are doing it right. The authorities are sent by God to help you if you're doing something wrong and you should be afraid, and you will be punished. The authorities are established by God for this very purpose to punish those that do wrong, I would bring this up because someone faithful God is against all of this. He doesn't like violence of any kind know if it's in the right cause. When a person is serving in law enforcement there very uniform is something that has an intimidating effect on people. I know because I friends are cops and sometimes I meet them for a meal or coffee in and you know officer walks in in uniform is going to Sam Brown on that's a big help. You know, with all of the stuff he carries his got his weapon. He's got his cost.
He's got his pepper sprays, got his donut on the they have a holder for a donut know they don't I'm just getting but I see as a cup, like what is the deal with Thompson donut because sometimes were in places like that because we have to get out of there fast. Okay so that makes sense for sure, but you know when officer walks into a room in uniform. The whole energy of the room will change your you know, and I have it when you're driving down the freeway and is CHP just is cruising along everybody slows down if he slows down everybody slows down these under the speed limit now are all under the speed limit right deserves that representation but then there's a military those that serve us in uniform. We should thank God for them. We should pray for them. They need our prayers so much, they will.
God is against war.
Well God is not for war but there are times when there is a just cause for a war. As an example, you remember, Jesus met the Roman centurion and of Jesus is against war in the military and people in uniform, he would is said that this Roman soldier. First, take your armor and your weapons and follow me. But instead the soldier kingdom and said hey I have a servant that sick could you speak the word and will be healed. Jesus, as I'll go with you and healing them in the guises you don't have to go with me. I'm a man of authority I say to one person go do this and they do it to do another do that and they do it. Just take the word Jesus and it will be done in Jesus commends a guide says I haven't seen things like this and all of Israel live this guy. So in a way he commends the guy and so the point is is that they're there for our protection. What is the word murder mean that literally means to � in pieces by the way of that word is never used to describe the death of an animal, nor is it used to describe the death of an opponent in war, nor is it used to describe the death that comes to capital punishment, God himself. In my opinion, established capital punishment.
Genesis 96 says you must execute anyone who murders another person for to kill a person is to kill a living being made in the image of God, the Bible views capital punishment as a deterrent to others. Thus, a protector of life. But the irony is sometimes you'll see someone who is on death row. Maybe the date of their execution is coming and they'll be protesters outside one of those signs will invariably say thou shall not kill, as though they're breaking a commandment by capital punishment and know what I find ironic is some of the very people that oppose capital punishment would support abortion on demand. You explain that to me.
So basically you're saying spare the guilty and take the life of the innocent because an unborn child in the womb is an innocent and they have every right to live. Now there's very degrees even among believers and capital punishments all concede the point.
But I will not concede any point on the topic of abortion because life begins at conception and were made in the image of God. This is not a debatable subject. Honestly, if you don't agree with that, then you frankly disagree with the Bible. Someone 39 says you made all of my delicate inner parts of my body. You knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for being so wonderfully complex. You watch me as I was being formed in utter's inclusion as I was woven together in the dark of the womb you saw me before I was born. The psalmist writes every day of my life is recorded in your book. Every moment was laid up over a single day had passed, showing that God is the plan for every one of his even before birth. The Lord says in Jeremiah 15 when you were still in your mother's womb. I set you apart and I formed you and appointed you so every child is created by God. It should be given the chance to live. Maxim Cato made the statement and I quote you were deliberately planned, specifically gifted and lovingly positioned on this earth by the master craftsman," so you might say will wait a second. One of the child was conceived out of wedlock. What other you don't think that child should live as well. You don't think God doesn't have a plan for their life.
God had a plan for my life and I was conceived out of wedlock. I'm glad the time my mother didn't go and have an abortion. And so every one of these children has a right to live will yeah but I don't know. I think these are illegitimate children. There are no illegitimate children illegitimate parents. Yes, illegitimate children know every child no matter how they were conceived or how they came about our loved by God. Yet abortion is so commonplace today since the passing of Roe V Wade in the early 70s. Over 60 million babies have been aborted every 15 seconds. In America, and abortion occurs, it's become a $500 million a year industry in the United States, and an estimated $10 billion a year industry world wide. And this is such that it is getting worse by worse I mean another passing laws are to even abort babies that somehow survived the abortion procedure of this year. New York City kicked up a string of radical abortion laws of the swept the United States. They not only legalize late-term abortions, but it pealed long withstanding our long-standing protections of infants who survive abortion, the governor of Virginia was asked what would happen to an infant who survived an abortion is response and I quote the infant would be resuscitated if that's with the mother and family, desire, and what okay so basically what you think is a big baby. Somehow survived the abortion procedure and was alive outside of the mother's room right there in the mother said I don't want the baby they could take the life of the baby. If that is not murder what is murder, thou shall not murder. We run so twisted in our culture that were celebrating a trend right now is abortion parties. Yes, it's true, I read about a girl named Maggie was inviting friends over for abortion parted their BB goods bearing dancing and it was to raise money for the abortion I was going through my twitter feed and ache. I came across a video that someone posted of two young girls who were flogging and celebrating their abortion on tick-tock and so the idea was they had music bed playing upbeat music there like celebrating, laughing, and it shows them going to other clinic to get the abortion that it actually shows a close-up of the monitor was you can see where they take the life of the baby. I thought how how could anybody celebrate such a thing. It's just so hard to understand and now there are even advocates for abortion who will admit how women will struggle with grief after an abortion, a University of Minnesota study on teen suicide found that the rate of attempted suicide increase 10 times for teens who had had an abortion.
Listen, the abortion is never the answer. So let's say that the young lady finds herself pregnant outside of wedlock.
What should she do she should have the baby carry the baby to term and raise the baby if possible may be the father and her to get married. Maybe the Lord will bring another man into her life. Later, if she doesn't feel she can raise a child put the child up for adoption and there's many, many people would love to adopt that job. But abortion should never ever be an option. It should not be on the table as a possibility because God has a plan for each one of these is what they fell as if a pregnant woman will get a sonogram there will never get an abortion.
90% of mothers who have had a sonogram decided against abortion. Now we need to look at what the Lord says in his word on these topics Away. Greg hold on now, what about of the mother's life is in danger.
Okay, let's illustrate that for a moment the mother's life and is endangered so you go to a doctor you're pregnant and they say if you carry this baby to term. You could die in the process so you should get an abortion is our right to let let's think of this in another way. Let's just say that your mother and your walking with your toddler and your toddler runs into a busy street and there's an oncoming car. What would you do well, I'm not going to the street because it would endanger my life who cares about your life. All the matters is the life of the toddler you would do whatever necessary to move the little one from the oncoming car and if you were hit in the process that what you would do because you're a mother, your maternal instinct, which you can write so what if your life were in danger. While I heard about a couple named Pam and Bob were serving is missionaries in the Phyllis, the Philippines, I was in Philistine, some Philippines and as it turns out Pam contracted amoebic dysentery, the leading cause of death in the country. She was pregnant at that time with her fifth child.
She was very dehydrated and very sick and she went to the doctor and he advised her to get an abortion because of the powerful medicine she would have to dig for survived she could not carry this child term.
He said, so if you want to live. The baby is going to have to die so she prayed about it with her husband in his Bible believing Christians.
They said no were not going to terminate this pregnancy when I can report this baby in the carry the baby determine it was a healthy little baby boy they named Tim.
Tim, by the way, you might know him. His name is Tim Tebo right so that's his story a true story baby I'm talking to a mother today who was aborting her baby in your living with the guilt and the remorse and you wished you had not done it will let me just say this to you a what word of hope. You will see your BB again because I believe that every little one that is taken in the womb through abortion. Any little child. The dies goes straight in the presence of God in heaven that's taught in the Bible right.
Jesus said that the children come onto me, and forbid them not for of such is the kingdom of heaven. So you see your child again and now you must ask God to forgive you and you must accept his forgiveness. I sent a tweet out some time ago about some abortion law that have been passed never seen why I thought it was such a horrible idea and a young lady retweeted it and briefly told me a little of her story named Crystal saying she used to work at the Planned Parenthood clinic. So we made contact with her and as it turns out there's this young woman named Crystal living in North Carolina and she worked to Planned Parenthood and was involved in the abortion procedure and so she was a professed believer, but this is what she was doing one day she was driving to work and she heard a radio broadcast right talk about how Jesus could come back at any time and asked this question. If Jesus were to come back. Is there anything you are doing that you would be ashamed to be doing if he were to return that day she was there at the clinic. In her words, after the abortion was done.
She said she was counting the pieces of the dismembered baby and then she said, and I thought of your statement of Jesus came back today would he leave me behind.
She decided he probably would she quit her job and now she's an advocate for life defending the lives of babies is a great this seems very political. Doesn't did you know that sometimes political issues are biblical issues, and so to speak out on whatever issue is out there working to give you the biblical perspective all say this, I could never vote for a candidate that would support abortion today will I like this candidate.
I like their standard in healthcare will I'm more concerned about the life of unborn children, among other things.
So I think we need to prioritize what is really important to us a little quieter because I got a little more specific. Okay, so now we say will this doesn't really apply to me. You know, I've never murdered anybody.
I've not had an abortion. All right, will Jesus takes it a step further in the sermon on the Mount in Matthew five I had to turn the look in verse 21, you've heard that it has been said says Jesus do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment. But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Oh, that it's a little closer to home, there are some people who are driven by anger and hatred, let me ask you a question. Is there somebody here right now that you have hatred toward you hate them so badly you honestly wish they were dead. You hate this person. Let me restate the question. Have you ever driven on the freeway though you I'm kidding, but you know, listen, hatred is clearly forbidden in Scripture verse John 315 says, anyone who hates his Christian brother is really a murderer at heart, while so Jesus is a look, you can say you have never killed anyone, but do you hate so someone so much you wish they were dead, then in effect, you're a murderer in your heart over and Ephesians 431 it says make a clean break with all cutting back by the profane talk be gentle with one another, sensitive, forgive one another as quickly and thoroughly as God in Christ has forgiven you know, someone told me I have anger issues. Let's just say they will be saying that anymore. I was a child forget that object to joking you driving urges you want to say that anymore and I'll give you that. But here's a little advice let's say that you're really angry at someone, here's something you might consider doing write it all down in a letter put everything you feel in that letter gets specific. I don't care if it's a five-page letter write the whole letter all right now burn the letter just to get it out but never send it or put it in an email just don't get sent have ever written an angry email something happen. You're really upset about your so upset your fingers are shaking. You can even get them on the key shaking you're so agitated in your typing it into� Just yet out that you had said by accident. All now I wanted to save it as a draft say up ago and someone that you send the duping in your furiously googling how I get an email back response you don't, idiot, don't send it thou shall not murder. The also not hate your brother is commitment number seven also not commit adultery. There doesn't have to be in the lack of clarity on this one and three click with the Bible saying heard about a little boy that went to Sunday school and the teacher was speaking on the seventh commandment, he seemed to have misunderstood her and went home to dad's and dad, the teacher was telling me in Sunday school today. Thou shall not commit agriculture, what is that mean that was smart without missing a beat. He said without missing a beat.
He said son that mean you're not supposed to plow the other Mansfield so that pretty good summation pretty good summation. What is adultery.
Let's just get tech to go for a moment. Adultery is sexual relations was someone beside your spouse. We hear the word fornication that would be premarital sex. Adultery is primarily extra marital sex, the only place for sex to be right and indeed blessed by God who created it is in a marriage relationship between a man and a woman living together committed to each other in a monogamous relationship, a mention how different our nation would be if we obey the seventh commandment, how many divorces would've been avoided. How many families would still be together how many fathers would still be home to raise their children in such a devastating sin. Sex is not evil. Sex can be good when it's in its right place that's in marriage.
He was 13 forces give honor to marriage and remain faithful to one another in marriage. God will surely judge people who are immoral, those in committed adultery. Another translation of that same verse goes as follows guard. The sacredness of sexual intimacy between wife and husband God draws a firm line against casual and illicit sex so sometimes we will be will you know what we need to get to know each other find out if were compatible so love sex before marriage really lived together and that will later get married will that's how to sabotage a marriage, the University of Tennessee study among young women said seems to be a correlation between illicit sexual behavior and serious emotional problems, and then another study done with the University of Oregon found that those who engage in premarital relationships make poor marital risks, and so it doesn't help you and actually hurt you know Lindsay would Jesus says about this is Matthew five verse 27 limiting Goldwater here, Jesus says you heard the commandment that says sorry you heard the commandment that says you must not clear your throat no way what you further commandment that says you must not commit adultery but I see anyone who looks on a woman with lust is already committed adultery with her in his heart while the word that Jesus uses here for looking is not speaking of a casual glance in reverse of the continual act of looking. It's not an incidental or involuntary glance, but an intentional and repeated gazing with the purpose of lusting is tied to some of the notices someone's attractive you might see a woman. It's a that's an attractive woman. Or you might see a man say that's an attractive man as you would say right now about your husband that your signature somebody else on the so that's what there's nothing wrong with that. That's of sinful to notice that someone is attracted is sinful when you take that thought and let it go into another arena, so to speak, and you begin to look at them with the person purpose of lusting so it's an intentional role repeated gazing at something with the purpose of stimulating lust for that person.
Listen, you don't feed lust.
You starve it is certainly one way you can feed lust is by looking at pornography. Actually the word that is used here for adultery of the original root word by Jesus is the Greek word, poor media, just a word we get from that pornography porn as it's often called 79% of 18 to 30-year-old American men watch Internet porn at least once a month say we guys are all twisted and perverted doesn't surprise me really 76% of 18 to 30-year-old American women watch porn once a month. One expert described it as the fortification of America. It's joked about in sitcoms is coming to the mainstream films like 50 shades of gray have brought it to a much larger audience, so it's everywhere so you don't want to feed that plane and I would compare sexual desire to fire and fire is not always bad.
Fire can be good spices sit around the fire ring in front of a fireplace is nice to use fire to cook your food.
But then fire can be destructive, it can take property you can take lives, so we want to have fire in its right place. The Bible asked the question in Proverbs 627. Can a man take fire into his lap and not be burned to share one with the answer to that is no don't try this at all. Let's start a fire in my lap and see if I get burn know you'll get prayer telling you it's an obvious question and obvious answer, you can lose control of fire when I was a little kid. I don't know what the deal was, but I seem to be some sort of a junior pyromaniac like to set things on fire. One of my favorite things to do the big things just little things and like only met I buy like a 50 army men in the package.
Emerald green remember those in Libya different positions as the guy with the binoculars you know and then there's another guy, with a machine gun down here and then the guy with the long rifle pointing that he was my favorite guy because I would like the end of his rifle with a lighter and the flame would try make it really would start melting like this and melt the melted to be a little flaming Pottle.
So one time I mighty my army men on fire did a more than one and they were a newspaper really bad idea. So the Army men melts public green. All of a sudden the paper little fire so I scoop up all these papers in a panic. I'm running around in just a little kid I throw him into a trashcan made out of bamboo. The TransCanada got thankfully I got it out, but that's what lust is like oh I can control this. All this will get the best of me, but it starts with looking dead and that voluntary looking like I'm looking with this purpose. A great example of this, or maybe a tragic example would be a better way to say it is David was up on his rooftop now back in biblical times, the rooftop would be flat. They might have a patio up there and David being the king of Israel was on the rooftop of this policy is a great view of everything below, we read that he was up in his rooftop after even sleeping in all day and he looks and sees a beautiful woman bathing herself whose name ironically was Bathsheba.
Now he saw that.
I guess he could have avoided seeing that the first time and then he acted on it gave the order that she be brought up to his bedroom and they had sexual relations and she became pregnant. Instead of admitting that to the Lord and repenting, he tried to hide it so he called her husband Uriah to serve in David's military back home open and spend the night with his wife and think that was his kid. Not David's. But this husband of Uriah was such loyal soldier.
He couldn't bear the thought of having such pleasure. When the fellow soldiers were out on the front line so he wouldn't go along with David's gangplank.
So in effect, David had a murdered he send them out to battle leading the charge.
Everybody fell back. Uriah was killed and David Mary Bathsheba thought he had covered it all up, then it all came out and everybody found out and he even saw the same behavior repeated in his own children so it starts with what you look at try to guard your mind Job 31 one says I've made a covenant with my eyes to not look lustfully at a girl ever seen comes on your TV or in a theater or on your phone or wherever it is you don't want to expose yourself to that think you want to do whatever you need to do to not be looking at that sword of thing and obviously handle the guy need to say this but I'll say it anyway. A popular trend is 16 sending naked photos of yourself worst idea of all time. There's something now called revenge porn or people to get photos of someone they were involved with and then they break up.
Then they posted and it's out there in the Internet effectively forever.
Just you note simple thought never, ever take a picture of yourself naked just don't and don't carry around in your phone. I got hacked in the top what you and idiots. I mean, these are such no-brainers, but these things happen to people and we want to be careful when we want to guard our minds listen to this as I wrap this up. The best way to overcome lust and protect your mind is to fill it with something better before I tell you what that is. Let me just make this one statement for every temptation you've ever had. There was always a way out. My right always first Corinthians 1013 says there is no temptation taken you but such as is common to man, but God was faithful will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able bode well with the temptation make a way of escape, that you may be able to bear.
Let me just paraphrase that there's always a way out of every temptation always. Sometimes it's turning off the TV. Sometimes it's terminating the conversation. Sometimes it's closing the laptop sometimes it's walking out of the room. Whatever you gotta do, do it now, let me come back to the thing that you should do instead of fighting lust all the time fighting, lust fighting, fill your mind and your heart was something greater and old Puritan. Put it this way, we need the explosive power of a new affection. We need the explosive power of a new affection. Here's what it comes down to cultivate your relationship with Jesus Christ said I was David's problem. He was known as a man after God's own heart. He was known as the sweet psalmist of Israel.
Many of the great Psalms that we read and memorized were written by David as love songs to God. But as we find them later in his career in his 50s. He wasn't singing love songs to God anymore.
He was sort of on what you might call the spiritual vocation, the troops were in battle instead of leaving them as he had done in the past. David was kicking back at home sleeping in and wandering around looking for trouble, and he found it in his own backyard. And this happens to us weeks back off from our study of the word of God. We back off from attending church. We back off from prayer we don't hang around our Christian friends anymore.
We get into these other relationships that are hurtful to us. I can drag us down and we find ourselves giving into something we said we would never give into you need the explosive power of a new affection if you love the Lord with all of your heart and your mind and your focusing on him.
It will bolster and strengthen you and give you the power you need to resist that temptation. The Bible says blessed is the man that endures temptation for when he is tried to receive the crown of life. God will give me the strength to do it, but it all comes down to our need for Jesus.
You know sometimes we was or will you know Christianity that looks like a crutch crutch Christianity as a whole. Hospital man and I need all the help I can get. I don't know about you and we can turn to the Lord and he'll help us. Maybe there's someone here today that is hearing this message and you don't have a relationship with God have been talking about cultivating this relationship with Jesus. Your finger would you even talking about. How does that even happen. It happens when you say to God that you know that you're a sinner in your sorry for your sin he realized Jesus Christ died on the cross for you as we look at these commandments don't take the Lord's name in vain. Don't have another God before him, honor your father and mother. Don't steal.
Don't lie. Don't commit adultery. Don't murder don't hate.
Who among us is not broken.
Some of these come every one of us ask the commandments were not given to make me holy. There were given to show me how unholy I actually am. The commandments were given to show me how much I need Jesus and listen to this. Jesus denture now ready to forgive you of any sin you've ever committed and there might be someone here today that needs Jesus in their life and need your sin forgiven you want to begin this relationship with him. There might be somebody else to was walking with the Lord. But you've given them some of these things and it's hit home and you realize it, but you can come back to him. I talked about Crystal. She came under the conviction of the Holy Spirit.
That's how we would describe it, she realized what she was doing was wrong. She repented in her case she quit her job and she started walking with the Lord again and that's what you need to do.
You need to turn from that sin start walking with him. He gets her clinic closed out with the prayer I want to extend an invitation for you to either ask Christ to come into your life. If you need him to come in today or an opportunity for you to recommit your life to the Lord. If you've fallen into some kind of sin.
Let's all pray father that we think you for your word which is so true and it hits home and I prefer anyone here who does not yet know you anybody here who does not have a relationship with you. Anybody here that needs Jesus Lord I pray your Holy Spirit will convict them and convince them of their need for Christ and help them to come to you now. We pray Elinor has about in her eyes are closed and were praying is there somebody here that would say I need Jesus in my life. I want to know that when I die I will go to heaven. I want to start this relationship with the Lord today. I'm I'm ready to ask Christ to forgive me of my sin that that your desire.
If you want Jesus to come into your life if you want to go to heaven when you die if you want him to remove that guilt from your life wherever you are, would you just lift your hand up saying I need Jesus.
And I'll pray for you wherever you are.
