Hiding from Hate

Amsterdam 2017

Last week, I was privileged to serve as a keynote speaker for HR Vision Amsterdam.  Jennifer was able to make the trip with me, as we celebrated our 20th anniversary with a trip to Europe!

For my blog, this month’s focus is on the Sixth Commandment, “Thou shalt not kill.”  As my last post illustrated, behind every murder is an attitude of anger and hate.  We were able to take an up close and personal look at the hate of Hitler during World War II with a couple of famous hiding places in the Netherlands.

Out of This World Leaders Practice The Fifth Commandment

Fifth Commandment

This fifth command is the first one with a promise.  God uses this command to transition from focusing on our relationship to Him to focusing on our relationships with others.  Relationships with parents are common to all of us; therefore, this commandment is foundational to commands six through ten.

As we will explore further, while the commandment is most often directed toward children, there is a great deal of application for adults. The honoring of one’s parents pertains not only to the obedience of children, but the respect and care due to parents as one moves into adulthood. Beyond this, the commandment pertains to all areas of authority, starting with God and moving into other important relationships.
