By DOROTHAFRY Pastor of Turkev Creek Church of the Brethren THE NINTH COMMANDMENT — "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” Exodus 20:16 There is a story of a woman who told a falsehood about her neighbor It went all over the small town. The story teller felt guilty, very remorseful and finally went to her pastor to ask what she could do. He excused himself and came back with a tube of tooth paste. “Squeeze it. "he said The woman did. “Now.” the pastor said. "I want you to put it back.” “But I can’t," she replied. “You are right." the pastor pointed out, “Just like the toothpaste, false stories cannot be put back." God’s laws are practical and down to earth Try as we might to rationalize them or water them down, these laws of God have stood the test of time. We not onlyhurt others when we disobey God's laws, we hurt ourselves. Why would anyone want to tell false stories about their neighbor 0 One of most prevalent reasons is that when a person feels insecure and does not feel good about himself, it makes him look better in his own eyes when he can make the other person look bad Here again, this boomerangs, and one pays a heavy price himself for bearing false witness Gossip at the expense of other people is a demeaning activity. Think of the times you may have told a little falsehood against someone. It may have been a kernel of truth and then you exaggerated to make it a really good story For the moment, telling this story to others and getting their whole attention and their “oohs” and "aahs” made you feel great, but after-

The 9th commandment

wards you felt uneasy and guilty. The person who continues gossipping in this fashion will begin to find he has to exaggerate more and more in order to get the attention of others. For soon other people begin to realize these stories are exaggerated and often false. People no longer believe the gossipper. People no longer trust the exaggerated and/or false story teller. So the gossipper not only loses an audience, but also his or her trustworthiness. The false story teller also finds he or she can no longer distinguish what is truth and what is falsehood. One pays a heavy price for continued bearing false witness. This applies to nations as well. When our country bears false witness against our neighbors, such as Nicaragua, we also pay a price. In the previous paragraph we looked at what happens to an individual that continues to bear false witness. This can happen to nations as well. In America (since I know this country better than any other, I use this example) our own people as well as other nations are not finding all the stories coming out of Washington trustworthy. That trustworthiness is being eroded by exaggerated and false bearing stories. And we throw up our hands and say, “Who can we trust?” People may give in to cynicism and all kinds of other sins and this then undermines the strength of our country from within. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” Loving concern is the opposit. It is uplifting. Christ taught us in Matthew 22:39 to “love our neighbor as ourself . ” This is the second commandment, second only to loving God with our whole being. Christ came, not to tear down the old laws, but to fulfill them

and bring a higher law. So, as Christians, we take the law at face value, “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor,” but we move beyond this law to “love our neighbor as ourself.” (Exodus 20:16 and Matthew 22:39) When we work (and sometimes it takes a lot of work) at loving our neighbor as ourself we have Churches join forces to present film series Zion Lutheran and Bethel United Methodist churches are jointly presenting a film series entitled “Focus on the Family.” The series was produced by the leading Christian authority on the family, James C.

no need to bear false witness, to tell false stories, to idly gossip about our neighbors. As you learn to love your neighbor (near and far) you find not only your neighbor, but yourself uplifted. You find yourself stretched and challenged. Your sights are lifted and you begin to see possibilities in people and nations instead of the flaws and all the negatives. While aware of the weaknesses and negatives, you begin to appreciate and dwell in the strengths of yourself and others. Love your neighbor as yourself and you will find you have no need to bear false witness against your neighbor. Syracuse church presents Billy Graham film “The Living Word.” a new Billy Graham film produced by World Wide Pictures, will be presented by the Syracuse Church of the Brethren, 215 W. Main St., on Sunday. Oct. 9, at 7 p m to the public, free of charge. Featuring narration by Billy Graham and Cliff Barrows, the film weaves together scripture passages, works of religious art, music and some color footage filmed in the Holy Land. The film has relevance to 20th Century mankind. Rev. John McFarland, pastor of the Syracuse church, extends an invitation to all to attend “The Living Word,” a film for anyone who has unanswered questions about modern-day Bible applications. The producers of the film feel the beauty of the production is the clear way in which it explains what the Christian faith really is.
