Video of the Day: Clip from the 2007 movie “Live Free or Die Hard”
Bible Verse of the Day:
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[i] and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous,” Matthew 5:43-45.
Biblical Connection:
There are 600 million cyber-attacks that occur daily. Cell phones, emails and U.S. mail is used to target unknowing victims. John McClane is sent to protect computer hacker Matt Farrell. Using a computer program that Farrell designed, master cyber-terrorist Thomas Gabriel takes over government computers. This forces McClane to work with Farrell to find and stop Gabriel.
While going through the Ten Commandments during a first century sermon, Jesus explains what it means to live out these commandments today. Whenever you are taken advantage of, deceived or trespassed against,Jesus urges human beings to love and pray for your enemies. Although this doesn’t make sense for those living outside of faith in Christ, this a call on how to live your life.
Closing Song:
Just as a boy scout is taught to be prepared, the apostle Paul urges Christians to put on the whole armor of God, Ephesians 6:10-18. This is how you take your stand against fighting cyber-attacks.
