If Looks Could Kill
Very few of us volition literally disobey the Sixth Commandment yesteryear killing someone.
But Christ explained inwards Matthew 5:21-22 that nosotros tin commit lesser forms of murder yesteryear beingness angry alongside someone, having shout out upward thoughts, fifty-fifty calling them an idiot!
Perhaps the easiest agency to murder is alongside a dingy look. “If looks could kill” we’d in all likelihood all hold upward dead.
An upraised eyebrow, a condescending milkshake of the head, a shout out upward pursing of the lips tin limited ‘murder’ for a minute. I wishing I could tell I’ve never murdered anyone this way, merely I have. I’m genuinely a series killer when it comes to my husband, the human beingness I honey most. Fortunately, he’s lived to forgive me.
But I desire to quit violating this command. Will you lot bring together me inwards bespeak God’s assistance to overcome a spirit of murder, no affair how subtle?
