Thou Shalt Not Kill: Revivals And Health-Preaching!

People - even many Christians - do not often like preaching that deals with their addictions, drugs of choice, or even weights. In fact, the Bible warns that in the last days they will not endure sound doctrine. But sound doctrine includes temperance, not being given to wine, etc. (see Titus 2). This sermon reveals that the 6th commandment actually includes a prohibition against, not only suicide, but all forms of self-harm. We take a look at the Bible and commentators from earlier ages. This sermon also demonstrates that great movements of God, awakenings, revivals, etc., are often led by men who were not afraid to speak against addictions and weights. They believed that we should glorify God in whatever we eat or drink, and our liberties should be defined by God, not our lusts.
