Ten Commandments #7

Good morning to all. It is a beautiful sunny morning here, a great day to praise the Lord.

Today's lesson on his commandment has become normal practice for many in the United States. In all honesty it has become accepted as ok....this makes me and more importantly God sick.

Exodus 20:14 "You shall not commit adultery."

Again God's word is plain and simple. Don't commit adultery!!! God designed sex for marriage. One thing that I see that goes along with this commandment is how our media glorifies adultery. One of the most popular t.v. shows today is Desperate Housewives. This basis for the whole show is adultery and t.v. and movies are filled with this same mentality.

Why as Christians do we watch things like this? If we are watching it we are promoting it in my opinion. I have always heard what we put in our minds will eventually come out.

God's word also takes this adultery thing a little further:

Matthew 5:27-30


27"Ye have heard that it was said by them of old, `Thou shalt not commit adultery.'


28But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.


29And if thy right eye cause thee to fall, pluck it out and cast it from thee; for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.


30And if thy right hand cause thee to fall, cut it off and cast it from thee; for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell."

Jesus tells us that even watching and thinking I would like to have her is sin. He goes on to tell us if we have a problem with it we need to go to extreme measures to take care of it.

So if just looking causes Jesus to say these words, going through with adultery should make us stand back and think VERY seriously about this commandment!

Oh and back to the t.v. thing...when you are watching Eva Langoria walking around half naked are you lusting??? This is why we should watch what we watch!

God bless my brothers and sisters!
