Thought of the Week: I Advocate Murder!




Have I got your attention? Good. Before I go any further I want it known that I do not mean that I advocate the murder of innocent human beings (Exo. 20:13; Pro. 6:17). In the proper context, there is a time when the act of murder is needed. Take a moment to read Colossians 3:5-6. Did you do it? Notice that word “mortify”? The Greek word means “to make dead, to put to death, to slay.” It gives the idea of something being cut off from your life for good. Paul basically said, “Since you are dead to the world and hidden in Christ, these actions should be put to death.” That being said, Christians should be advocates of murder. The murder of sin. Have you cut it off from your life?
