Crawford is leading us through a series of messages called, “For His Kingdom”… it’s a study in the NT book of Matthew. In a few moments, we’ll hear the rest of the message Crawford began last week about retaliation. The scribes and  Pharisees  of Jesus day were known to pull this on occasion in order to maintain their perverted desire to manipulate people while appearing to be righteous. But before we get to the rest of the message let’s check in with Crawford real quick here. We’re in Matthew 5: 38 thru 42.  Crawford, we’re seeing how Jesus has been outlining several ways in which the Scribes and Pharisees come up short in their religious posturing.  Here’s Crawford speaking to the congregation of Fellowship Bible Church in Roswell, GA.  Part 2 of his message titled, A Good Fight here on Living a Legacy.

Dr. Crawford Loritts looks at Jesus teaching about retaliating against those who do wrong to us. As Americans we’re quick to threaten legal action, to demean, to retaliate with angry speech on social media. The question for followers of Christ though is do we want to be right or do we want to be Kingdom people and relinquish our rights for the cause of Christ?

In Part 2 of “Is Your Word Enough?” Dr. Crawford Loritts warns that when it comes to God’s agenda, some things are not ours to promise.  Don’t use the authority of God’s name to rubber stamp things you want to see accomplished.  Let the integrity of your life validate the decisions you make.  Let your “yes” mean yes and your “no” mean no.
