Some of the
most widely quoted sayings in the
Sermon on the Mount, and the ones
most consistently violated, are the commands (Mt 5:38 - 42) to turn the other cheek, to give the cloak when deprived of the coat, to go two miles when compelled to go one, to refuse no request for a gift or a loan, to offer no resistance to an evil man, as
recent translations read where the KJV says «resist not evil.»
as a man in his young forties who hasn't churched in a long while, i remember my
most recent experiences of church... really interesting
sermons (i have to admit... but nothing that wouldn't have come out in conversation), more songs, hymns, prayers and you've guessed it... boredom.
