Have you heard of the Ten Commandments in the Bible?  One of them is often translated "thou shalt not kill." The original Hebrew word in this commandment is ratzah, which is specifically "murder."

Do you love your spouse the way that Christ loves His church? It's the work of a lifetime, a work that goes go far beyond cultivating companionship. Companionship ebbs and flows with seasons, situations, emotions, and growth. That's why Christ's covenant with His followers, what we call the Body of Christ, is our model for exploring marriage between male and female.

Do you read the Bible?  Ever feel unsure when it comes to interpreting and applying  scripture? Interpretation and application are very important because they affect how we live out our beliefs, including how we treat others. They bear witness to the name of Jesus that we profess.
