The Eleventh Commandment #2 of 2
May 26, 2011
The race of life is hard when our labors are not fueled by the love of God. That’s why Jesus gave His great commandment. Loving God with all our hearts, and our neighbors as ourselves, fulfils the law and pleases our Creator. Obeying this commandment means obeying all ten of the ones God wrote on tablets of stone to give to Moses so long ago.

When You’ve Been Wronged
Conflict in relationships is inevitable, but healing and reconciliation often is not. Time and again we've tried every option and failed, and all we are left with is a load of guilt and pain. Pastor Erwin Lutzer shows how the blessing the Lord gives to those who suffer unjustly is worth the pain involved. He also illustrates the need to leave our broken relationships in the hands of God and move forward in our lives toward freedom.

The Decalogue: literally, “ten words.” Written by God on tablets of stone, the Ten Commandments defined proper behavior. Those who win in the race of life not only follow these ten laws, but on a higher plane, they follow an eleventh. Today: we start the final lesson in our study of the Ten Commandments by learning how Jesus summed them all up.

It lies hidden, a smoldering flame beneath the surface. The sin nobody sees can light fires of lasting conflict. Winners in life’s race disavow covetousness. They know that longing for what others have is a recipe for ongoing discontent. God’s tenth and final commandment makes it clear that we are not to covet.

There’s something in all of us that wants what someone else has. We never seem to have enough, and some of us want it all. Winners in life’s race don’t carry their belongings across the finish line. No U-Haul will follow your hearse. Coveting: that’s what God addressed in the last of the Ten Commandments, and coveting is our focus on today’s broadcast.

Among seven things God hates, the writer of Proverbs lists lying - twice. That’s top billing for a sin we all commit. To win in the race of life requires honesty...telling the truth. As we explore another of the Ten Commandments, we’ll see why this sin is so prevalent, and so destructive. Imagine you’re in court. Will you swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

For some reason, we humans make a distinction between big lies and small lies. To us, telling a “white lie” is OK. But it’s not OK with God. Believers running the race of life need to tell the truth if they want to win. Lying violates prime directive number nine in the Bible, and losing that lying tongue is where we’re headed on today’s broadcast.

Few of us commit adultery, fewer still would kill, but most of us would be found guilty if confronted about stealing. Those who want to be victorious runners in life’s race need to lose the baggage of guilt they carry from thefts, both large and small. That’s how far we have come in our study of the eighth commandment. Pastor Lutzer will give some closing thoughts on stealing.

Most people say “What’s mine is mine, what’s yours is yours.” But then there are those who say “what’s yours is mine.” It’s more than bank robberies and burglary. People steal from their employers with hardly a second thought. We seem to forget that stealing any private property violates one of the Ten Commandments.

It’s dangerous to get too close to a fire and to get too close to sexual sin. The price is too high. That’s why the seventh commandment teaches us to avoid all forms of sexual sin. That means faithfulness to the wife or husband God gives us. The result: a life free from the entanglements that can stop us in our tracks.

Each of us has a strong desire for intimacy. But keeping our sex drives under control is one of our biggest challenges. Runners in the race of the Christian life know that sex in its proper place is a great gift, while passions out of control can ruin one’s future. That’s why God gave us commandment number seven. It’s still in force, even in a sex-mad culture.

There is a connection: learning how to submit to your parents when you’re young makes it easier to submit to God when you’re old. Those who run life’s race know that the track is smoother when things are right with mom and dad. Good relationships mean happiness, bad ones bring sorrow. Today: more teaching on God’s command designed to ensure stable homes and well-adjusted families.
