—Matthew 5:21-32
by: Dale Rood.
Here we find two key areas where integrity is needed in our relationships with each other: 1) anger leading to bitterness and revenge, and 2) adultery which results in lack of commitment to those to whom we should be committed. Let’s face it, in human relationships there are going to be tensions and difficulties. Love is not a feeling; love is a commitment such that others know they can depend on us through the tension and difficulty. We are not talking about romance here. Nor are we talking about passion. We are talking about the “stick-to-it-tivity” necessary for healthy relationships.
