Exodus

You shall not bear false witness (Part 2)

by Brian Watts on March 17, 2019

The Apostle Paul presents a helpful summary of the aspects that could be considered as bad talk in 2 Corinthians 12:20. I want to use that list as the basis from which we will attempt this exposition. Hear him state these clearly: “For I fear that perhaps when I come that perhaps there may be quarrelling, jealousy, anger, hostility, slander, gossip, conceit, and disorder.”

Exodus

You shall not steal (Part 3)

Now we’ve looked at various aspects and ways in which the Eighth Commandment can be violated. A man may not perhaps be guilty of violating the eighth commandment in terms of its presupposition regarding private property. Perhaps it may even be true that a man has not violated the Eighth Commandment in any obvious manner, yet such a man may be guilty of robbing God and in so doing of violation of the eighth commandment.

Exodus

You shall not steal (Part 2)

by Brian Watts on February 17, 2019

In our first exposition, we considered the fact that the Eighth Commandment presupposes the right to private property. We also saw that the Eighth Commandment implies the principle of stewardship as a profound reminder that we own nothing, but that everything has been entrusted to us by God as a gracious gift of His love. And then we also saw that the Eighth Commandment explains very clearly why it is wrong to steal. I seek therefore to build upon that today by specifically considering the vast spectrum that is covered by the scope of this command, by asking in which ways it is possible for us to violate the prohibition contained in the Eighth Commandment.
