I don’t know about you, but I’ve been quite shocked by the recent murder of that young UVA lacrosse student, Yeardley Love, at the hands of her boyfriend George Huguely. This is yet another incident that just seems to tragically prove once again that ours is a society filled with violence. And it’s not just in the news. So much of the entertainment around us glorifies violence in one way or another, be it the gratuitous slaughters depicted in popular video games, or the body counts on various TV shows and movies. That’s not to say there haven’t been some good war movies, but that’s another story.
In our chapter tonight, we’re going to see the consequences that come when God’s people ignore His standards. One of the clear results put on display in our text is the downward spiral into self-serving violence. Beloved, we can be different. Let’s learn instead to embrace the life that God calls us to and to call others toward it as well.
