Matters of Life & Death

A Series of Life-Giving Truths for Men Drawn from the Ten Commandments

Near the end of his life, Moses entrusted the Word of God to the people of Israel with these words: “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live” (Deuteronomy 30:19).

In the New Testament we are told that “to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” Every Christian family can experience this “life and peace” in their home.

In this series, we examine the way that the New Testament Scriptures shine light upon the practical applications of the Ten Commandments. Articles will be posted on Tuesday of each week that will explore some life-giving applications of God’s Truth. A biographical article will be posted every Thursday, highlighting the life of a notable man from history that experienced the life-giving power of God by living out that very truth under consideration. Let’s join together to pursue the life God offers us!

“What Is Truth?”

The truth is not merely what we speak; it is also what we live. Those around us are able to see our hypocrisy very clearly when the way we live does not match the way we speak. The words testimony and witness both come from the same word in the original languages of the Bible. In reflecting upon the ninth commandment—“Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour”—we must realize that a man’s testimony and a man’s witness should be one and the same thing, not a “false witness” but a living testimony of the truth.

Patrick Henry: “The Trumpet of the Revolution”

From time to time throughout history, God has raised up certain men to become champions of truth in their generation. In the days of the American War for Independence, an unlikely hero from rural Virginia became known as the “Trumpet of the Revolution.” His bold proclamation of truth, his willingness to confront apathy among his countrymen, and his courage to raise a timely warning against tyranny earned him this descriptive title.
