“Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel. “ ~ Proverbs‬ ‭12‬:‭10‬ ‭ Brother Sam, building on the previously established maxim that “true wisdom is applied sanctification”, shows in this fourth part of the series, how this sanctification is demonstrated not just in our relationship with our fellow image-bearers, but even with animals. He explains how virtues such as discernment, kindness and loyalty are fundamental constituents of the Christian ethic, and why the Christian is charged with exemplifying these virtues. “Relationships are slices of heaven in this broken world”. In this sermon, you will find encouragement to be introspective and intentional with your relationships—whatever kind they may be—and understand how righteousness evidences itself through an honourable attitude towards man and beast.
