Thank you for your consideration. Shalom~Essence of Myrrh Proverbs 3:5-7This will give you a clear understanding of the evil of character assassination and why God imposes still penalties on those who engage in this cowardly act.
"Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour." (Exodus. 20:16)
When was the last time that you were slandered? Can you remember when someone spread a vicious lie about you? Do you remember how powerless you felt? Can you recall the anger that welled up with-in you, that urge to get even. Do you remember how you wanted to buy a full page ad in the local paper that would proclaim you innocence. Do you remember how some friends believed the lie and turned their backs on you.
Perhaps you can recollect how the lie was wrapped in a half-truth. Your enemy took part of a sentence that you spoke and put a twist on it that you never intended it to have. That twist cast you in a negative light. Welcome to the world of bloodless murder.
Here's a clear understanding of what constitutes character assassination.
Second, we'll look at the penalties God imposes for character assassination.
Third, a positive word about how we break the destructive habit of character assassination.
I. Character Assassination Is The Cold Blooded Destruction Of Our Most Valuable Personal Asset You character is one of your most prized possession. Character is what defines you as a person.
Character grows like rings on a tree, slowly and deliberately. Character is what I am when no one is looking. It is what I think about in the still darkness of the night. Character is the most important ingredient I can bring to any relationship. Character is the jewel of my life. When you mis-represent and slander me, you are stealing my jewel.
Sometimes in the public eye that jewel is never replaced. I know a married Christian man whom I'll call Mike. About eight years ago Mike seduced a Christian woman. I also heard that Mike's wife accused him of sexually molesting his children.
Every time I see Mike in the store, I think about his adultery and about the molesting accusation against him. When I see him I say to myself, "There goes the man whose wife reportedly accused him of molesting his little children." There are some things we never forget. Only Heaven will erase them from our minds. Character assassination does lasting, long-term damage.
I am told that Mike confessed his adultery and is a healed person. The other accusation is still out there floating around. Let's assume that it's not true. Every time I see that man I think of that accusation and I look at him and say to myself, "Could Mike have done what was alleged against him?" Because of that accusation I would never leave young children alone with Mike. An accusation has robbed Mike of jewel in his character account.
When you confess something, you freely acknowledge what you were. Paul said to the Ephesian believers, "For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light" (Ephesians 5:8 NIV)
Paul is saying, "Our relationship is based on the new reality of what we are today in Jesus Christ. The old reality has passed away, the new reality is what counts. I take delight in your new reality and praise God for the new character He is building in your lives.
Character assassination is the act of painting a false picture of a person and presenting it as that person's reality. God declares that to be an abominable act of cowardice. It was an abuse of free speech that angered God.
God says, "You shall not lie about another person, do not bring false accusations against him, do not deny him justice." "Do not deny justice to your poor people in their lawsuits. Have nothing to do with a false charge and do not put an innocent or honest person to death, for I will not acquit the guilty." (Exodus 23:67 NIV) Charging a person on speculation is character assassination.
We are also guilty of character assassination when we plant seeds of doubt about a person's integrity. We do this by asking questions with a malicious inflection. "Are you sure that's what he meant?" We assassinate character by putting our own interpretation on the words the another person speaks. Sometimes speakers choose poor illustrations and in-accurate word pictures. A critic could take those sloppy expressions and broadcast across North America a charge of heresy against the speaker. One phone call to the speaker would clarify what he meant. Words and phrases mean different things to different people.
It's sad that church people are just as guilty of character assassination as unchurched people. Paul said to the Corinthians, "I fear that there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder." (2 Corinthians 12:20)
II. The Penalty For Character Assassination. One of the ways we understand the severity of an offence is by the penalty imposed for the transgression. By including character assassination in the ten commandments, God put it on a par with murder, adultery and stealing. God gave a specific and a general penalty for character assassination.
1. The specific penalty is to be equal to the charge a malicious witness makes in a court of law. "If a malicious witness takes the stand to accuse a man of a crime, the two men involved in the dispute must stand in the presence of the LORD before the priests and the judges who are in office at the time. The judges must make a thorough investigation, and if the witness proves to be a liar, giving false testimony against his brother, then do to him as he intended to do to his brother. You must purge the evil from among you." (Deuteronomy 19:1619 NIV)
If the penalty for charge you brought against me was a three year jail sentence, if I was found to be innocent, then you would spend the three years in jail. If we did that today, it would put an end to frivolous lawsuits.
III. God Wants to Convert us From Character Assassins to Builders of Character.
1. The process of change begins with confession to God and the person we have maligned. Along with the confession we may be called upon to make restitution.
2. Determine to change your focus from criticizing to blessing. "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you" (Matthew 5:44 KJV) "Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not." (Romans 12:14 KJV)
3. Be proactive and praise the positive qualities in the person you have been criticizing. When you affirm the positive character qualities in their life you are watering the process of positive character development.
CONCLUSION: This morning the last words I leave with you are the pure Word of God. "Do not go about spreading slander among your people. "`Do not do anything that endangers your neighbor's life. I am the Lord. (Leviticus 19:16 NIV) " . . .whoever spreads slander is a fool."(Proverbs 10:18 NIV) "Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice."(Ephesians 4:31 NIV) "Brothers, do not slander one another." (James 4:11)
To be a good friend, value yourself!
To treasure another's essence in your heart, you must first treasure the precious essence that is you..
I humble myself,
lift up both my hands,
and I began to worship Him,
I worship Him.
(repeat)
Chorus
For all He's done for me,
redeemed and set me free,
and because, just because He's God.
Verse 2
When I come into His presence
I humble myself,
remembering what He's done,
the victories He's won,
so I'll praise Him,
I'll praise Him.
