TEN COMMANDMENTS MESSAGE EQUALS LOVE

There has recently been a lot of media attention on the subject of the Bible's "10 Commandments" being posted on courtroom walls. No doubt there is much at stake over this issue. But as I read the Bible translation called, "The Message," I gained a whole new perspective on these 4,000-year-old mandates.

Romans 13:8b-10 in "The Message" reads, "When you love others, you complete what the law has been after all along...any other "don'ts" you can think of finally adds up to this: Love other people as well as you do yourself. You can't go wrong when you love others. When you add up everything in the law code (the 10 Commandments) the sum total is love."

As I pondered on this I began to see the positive in the 10 Commandments. Even though many of the commandments start with "Thou shalt not...," their main emphasis is helping us to treat others as we would like to be treated.

For example, commandment eight reads, "Thou shall not steal." No one that I know of enjoys watching their prized possessions being carted off by a pirate. So, if we don't enjoy others stealing from us, we should not steal from others.

Commandment seven says, "You shall not commit adultery." As a happily married man of 15 years, I would definitely NOT want to see my lovely wife taken advantage of. So, if your blood boils, as mine does, at that thought, then we should not be heading down that nauseating direction toward infidelity.

Commandment nine deals with lying, and no one likes to play the fool in believing a lie. Treating others as we would like to be treated means telling the truth! Need I say more?

The 10 Commandments give us a positive and proactive way of living a full and wholesome life, even though seemingly stated in the negative. To disregard them is a sure way of swiftly ending up in trouble, as well as alienating ourselves from God and others.

I don't know how the courtroom drama will conclude. Whether the 10 Commandments will be allowed upon the nation's walls of justice is still to be seen. But as for me, I want to ensure that God's Commands are continually etched upon the chambers of my heart.

Thought: When we break the 10 Commandments,
we're the ones who end up broken.

Starting Over

Read: Ephesians 2:1-10

If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. —2 Corinthians 5:17

Bible In One Year: Leviticus 17-18; Matthew 27:27-50

---

The little boy looked up at his mother and asked, "Mama, do you know why God made us?"

Knowing that her son had his own explanation, she asked, "Well, Justin, do you know why?"

"Oh, that's easy. Because the people in the Bible were so bad, He wanted to start over."

When you think about it, it's easy to see how this first-grader could come up with such a conclusion. When he listens to the Bible stories in Sunday school, he hears about Adam and Eve, who messed things up for all of us. He hears about Jonah, who wouldn't obey God and was swallowed by a big fish. He hears about Judas, who betrayed Jesus for 30 silver coins.

The Bible is painfully realistic in its portrayal of people. It is no whitewashed version of the history of God's people. In its honest presentation of its characters, the Bible proves that we all need to be forgiven of our sins. The "bad" people of the Bible remind us that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).

But there's great news. God did provide a way to "start over." He sent Jesus, who died so that we could become new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17). Trust Jesus and be saved from your sin. Then you will be able to "start over." —Dave Branon

The Savior is waiting to save you,
And cleanse every sin-stain away;
By faith you can know full forgiveness
And be a new creature today! —Bosch

Prayer: The Soldier’s Walkie-Talkie

A sermon on Ephesians 6:18-19 by Coty Pinckney, Desiring God Community Church, Charlotte, NC, 4/6/03

Imagine yourself as a member of the Army’s 3rd Infantry Division, 64th Armored regiment. The time: early yesterday morning. Your commander calls your unit together and asks, “How many of you would like to go on a little sightseeing tour of Baghdad – virtually to the city center.” Volunteers abound. He turns to you and says, “Sorry, Lieutenant, I have other plans for you. You’re to conduct aerial reconnaissance for this force from a helicopter. Keep in constant touch with me. Let me know if there are any signs of enemy troops or armor gathering along the route. Tell me if I need to call in air support. Send me encouraging words to relay to the troops regarding their impact on the city. I know you would like to be on the ground – but this task is vital to the success of the mission. Do it well!”

How do you fulfill your task?

Do you think, “Oh, I’m not down in the streets, so what I do isn’t really important. I’ll take this helicopter to another part of the city and see what’s going on.”

Do you think, “Well, I’d better stay close by in case anything happens, but the commander has other sources of information; I can relax and read the latest Baghdad Times while all this is going on.”

Do you think after the first hour, “I didn’t get much sleep last night, and staring down into this dust is a bit hard on the eyes. I’ll take a little nap for a while.”

How do you fulfill your task?

This soldier’s task is very similar to one God gives us: prayer.

Like that soldier, we are in the midst of a war. Like that soldier, the outcome of our war is certain. Like that soldier, God gives us the privilege of helping advance our cause through communication with Him. How will we fulfill that task?

With Easter coming up, we’ve received several flyers from churches in the last week. One church wants to be known as “a place your family can unwind.” Another advertises itself as “The church where every child feels welcome.” Clearly, those churches hope the community associates those phrases with them. What phrases do we want our community to associate with Desiring God Community Church? I hope one of those phrases is “A church of prayer for all the nations.”

Wednesday night we began to look at prayer. We saw that the purpose of prayer is to glorify God. We accomplish this by calling on him in the day of trouble, holding up our cup of salvation and asking God for more and more – that itself is worship.

We also asked ourselves the question: Is prayer selfish? How is true prayer different from the old song, “Oh, Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz”? And we saw, based on James 4, that prayer can be selfish – IF we value the gift more than giver. In that case we are acting like an adulteress asking her husband for money so she can spend it on another lover. But we also saw that asking God to give to us need not be selfish. As John Piper says,

if created things are seen and handled as gifts of God and as mirrors of his glory, they need not be occasions of idolatry—if our delight in them is always also a delight in their Maker.

We also discussed how we should pray rightly. We must lack confidence in ourselves, and pray for the advance of kingdom forces, not our own personal comforts. Even when we pray for personal needs, we should be asking in the context of God enabling us to serve Him better, so that we might be more effective in advancing the kingdom. This is the prayer of God’s soldier. In Piper’s memorable phrase, prayer is a wartime walkie-talkie, not a domestic intercom.

This morning we will expand on that walkie-talkie image as we consider Ephesians 6:18.

Martyn Lloyd-Jones says that “everything we do in the Christian life is easier than prayer,” and that “our ultimate position as Christians is tested by the character of our prayer life. It is more important than knowledge and understanding.”

Lloyd-Jones is speaking about individuals, but this is also true of churches. Prayer as a church is difficult – but prayer life of a church is an excellent thermometer, testing its spiritual health.

What will be the character of the prayer life at Desiring God Community Church? As vital as knowledge and understanding are, and as committed as we all are to preaching and teaching the whole counsel of the Word of God, our joint prayer life will best indicator of whether or not we are becoming what God intends us to be.

So I pray that this teaching will be first step of many in drawing us together into a deep life of corporate prayer.

As we turn to our text, recall that Ephesians is a book about the church. Our early discussions of the purpose of the church (first, second) were based on texts in this book. So we are right to consider Ephesians 6:10-18 in that light. As individualistic Americans, our tendency as we read these verses is to think, “You, Coty, put on whole armor of God. You, Beth, pray on all occasions.”

But the commands here are plural commands. Paul is saying, “You all put on the whole armor of God. You all pray on all occasions.” Certainly Paul is not here opposed to individual prayer, but in context the greater emphasis is on corporate prayer. Consider that as we read today’s text:

With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints. (Ephesians 6:18)

Our outline comes directly from the verse as we consider Paul’s instructions about how to pray:

In the Spirit (followed by four “ALL’s”)
At ALL times
With ALL prayer
With ALL Perseverance
For ALL the Saints
Throughout we’ll note how these commands apply to our soldier in the helicopter

[MoJo2001]

Good morning everyone!!

Hello Troops!! How are you doing??


Well, MoJo has got 1 errand to run this morning. So? I'm checking in real quick.

However, I need some things done in the Canteen before I get back.

1. I need update on Bethy. Bethy how are you doing Sis?

2. Queenie, have you figured out what Burka Man was wearing yesterday?

3. Goddess are you feeling better?

4. Is Mr. Goat undercover this week or not?

5. Who let Ma in the Canteen Kitchen?? She's not allowed in the kitchen. We've had 3 fires in the Canteen Kitchen. She was the last person seen in the kitchen each time. We have strict rules about her in the proximity of a kitchen. It just doesn't happen.

6. Where is tomkow?

7. Do we know who is responsible for Hondo's disappearance?? Have we checked the Canteen files to make sure she's acceptable? We just can't have anyone for our Hondo. Please file out the required 150 pages of the vetting process. We'll get back to you if we think you are acceptable.

8. Where are we going for Liberty today? Preferably somewhere warm. Heat and sun are good things. So I've been told.

9. Where is Sarge? Is he standing Watch for America or is he out partying with the Canteen Galz? Please bring him home safely. We don't want to get him into trouble. So? Which ever one of you has taken Sarge out to party, let's make sure to bring him back in piece. We can work on a fabulous story for his commanding officer. I'm sure he will understand. (Yeah right!)

10. Did everyone have a fabulous Valentine's Day?? I hope so.

11. blackie - how is your fabulous diva?? Will we ever get to meet her?? Or is she just yours and you aren't willing to share with the rest of us?

12. Where is SouthernHawk and LadyHawk? Do they think we just let them go for weeks at a time without knowing what they are doing? I think not. Hmmm....

13. Where is Radix? Did someone smack that computer into working order or what?

14. fatima - what's the update on Karen?? Do we need to write Rummy and tell him to kick into gear. (I'm sure he's anxious to hear from MoJo. Not! LOL!)

15. Word has it in the Hampton Roads area that President Bush is pushing for another pay raise this year by July for the military. Let's all keep in prayer a pay raise.

16. Mr. Tonkin, what are you doing?? It better not have something to do with Mr. Goat's disappearance. You realize that I will have to unleash on ya. Hehe!

17. Diva Betsy Ross - How are you??

18. StarCMC - Howdy Diva!!

19. HiJinx - we need pictures of Piper and updates, updates, updates. She's probably a teenager already. We haven't seen her in at least a day. Do you think we find this acceptable? Huh? We don't. LOL!

20. Hi E.G.C!! How's your weather?

21. Aeronaut - Are you having a fabulous weekend?

22. Good morning, Meekie! Where's my M&M?? Huh??

Pick out your question and then answer it for all of us. I'm too lazy to ping everyone. Hey! It's Sunday. It's a day of rest. I'm resting.

Please don't mention to Ma that I haven't eaten breakfast yet. I feel fabulous and I hate breakfast. I'm sure she won't mind. No big deal.






 

[Aeronaut]

21. Aeronaut - Are you having a fabulous weekend?

Yes ma'am.

Re: Tomkow, I have no idea where he is.

one of our guys should handle that one!
Looks to be a quiet day here in the manse.
We do have a gorgeous day today, bright sunshine.
Now Little Diva, you be careful driving your car today, okay?
