The Word

Mat 5. 39 – 42

“But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

“And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.

“And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

“Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.”

> 2 checks, 2 clothes, 2 miles – Therefore borrowing can be limited to 2 times. Context, Context <

Of this world

“The world is too much with us…”

If a great English poet (Wm. Wordsworth) could see this –

surely holiness people should.

Second, a wife was named.

“Vigilant” was number three

Of what this man was to be.

Suicide is STILL wrong

If your friend or worse, family member, committed suicide

you’ve probably tried to put a good construct on this unnatural act. That’s understandable. You hope they weren’t responsible before God, and went to heaven. May I ask you to keep your “reasoning” to yourself? Suicide may become more and more accepted as “normal” as this sin-cursed-world winds down. (Some society may even suggest it your “patriotic duty”.) Some person strongly tempted to commit suicide, may hear your logic (perhaps flawed logic), think there is hope, take his own life and go to hell. Your publicized hope for “x” may actually make it easier for a new suicide to occur. Think About It!

It is no more right to take your life than to take some other man’s life.
