- Your attitude is important to God, not how much you do. With an attentive, loving heart yielded to Christ, He will help you apply God's word daily through His Spirit.
- As Christians, we are fellow citizens with the saints and members of God's household, joined as His holy temple. We are to fix our eyes on Jesus and love one another so others know we are His disciples.
- In all things - work, daily tasks, relationships - we are to act with humility, gentleness, patience, forgiveness and love as we dwell in God's word and give thanks through Christ.
If no one can see God and live (Ex. 33:19-23) then why did Jesus promise the pure in heart that they would "see God"? (Mt. 5:8) How did Job and David see God?

(Psa. 86:11; Ez. 11:19) Describe the condition of your heart. Why does God want our hearts, even more than our minds, emotions or behavior? (Prov. 4:23; 27:19; Jer. 29:13)

The passage contrasts the decisions of a wise man and a foolish man to build their houses, with the wise man building on rock to withstand rain and winds, while the foolish man built on sand causing his house to collapse in the storm.

The document discusses the concept of righteousness from religious and historical perspectives. It explores how ancient civilizations like the Egyptians, Aztecs, and Jews sought to achieve righteousness through works like sacrificing goods or people to their gods or strictly following religious laws.

Here are potential responses to these QHQs:
1. When people are subjected to immense suffering and stripped of their humanity, as the Jews were in the concentration camps, it can lead them to act in inhumane ways themselves in order to survive or gain some small advantage. The camps destroyed normal human compassion and morality.
2. The camp veterans had become hardened and desensitized to suffering after enduring so much themselves. Taunting the new prisoners may have been a way for them to feel a sense of power and control in that powerless situation. It also could have been a defense mechanism to avoid feeling empathy or forming attachments to others.

3. Ruth Ellis (9 October 1926—13 July
1955) was the last woman to be
executed in the United
Kingdom, after being convicted of the
murder of her lover, David Blakely.
4. From a humble background, Ellis was
drawn into the world of London nightclub
hostessing, which led to a chaotic life of
brief relationships, some of them with
upper-class nightclubbers and celebrities.
5. Two of these were David Blakely, a
racing-driver already engaged to
another woman, and Desmond
Cussen, a retail company
director, and former RAF pilot
6. On Easter Sunday 1955, Ellis shot Blakely dead outside
the Magdala public house in Hampstead, and
immediately gave herself up to the police.
7. At her trial, she took full responsibility
for the murder and her courtesy and
composure, both in court and in the
cells, was noted in the press.
8. She was hanged at Holloway
Prison, London, by Albert Pierrepoint
9. Early life
Ellis was born in the Welsh seaside town
of Rhyl, the 3rd of 6 children. During her
childhood her family moved to
Basingstoke.
10. Her mother, Elisaberta (Bertha)
Cothals, was a Belgian refugee; her
father, Arthur Hornby, was a cellist from
Manchester who spent much of his time
playing on Atlantic cruise liners.
11. Arthur changed his surname to Neilson
after the birth of Ruth's elder sister
Muriel.
12. Ellis attended Fairfields Senior Girls'
School in Basingstoke, leaving when
she was 14 to work as a waitress.
13. Shortly afterwards, in 1941 at the height
of the Blitz, the Neilsons moved to London.
In 1944, 17-year-old Ruth became
pregnant by a married Canadian soldier
named Clare and gave birth to a son, who
she named Clare Andrea Neilson, known as
"Andy”.
14. The father sent money for about a
year, then stopped. The child eventually
went to live with Ellis's mother.
15. Career
Ellis became a nightclub hostess through nude
modelling work, which paid significantly more than
the various factory and clerical jobs she had held
since leaving school.
16. Morris Conley, the manager of the Court Club in Duke
Street, where she worked, blackmailed his hostess
employees into sleeping with him.
17. Early in 1950 she became pregnant by one
of her regular customers, having taken up
prostitution.
18. She had this pregnancy terminated
(illegally) in the third month and returned
to work as soon as she could.
19. On 8 November 1950, she married 41-year-old
George Ellis, a divorced dentist with two
sons, at the register office
in Tonbridge, Kent. He had been a customer at
20. He was a violent alcoholic, jealous and
possessive, and the marriage deteriorated
rapidly because he was convinced she was
having an affair. Ruth left him several times
but always returned.
21. In 1951, while four months
pregnant, Ruth
appeared, uncredited, as a beauty
queen in the Rank film Lady Godiva
22. She subsequently gave birth to a
daughter Georgina, but George refused
to acknowledge paternity and they
separated shortly afterwards.
23. Ruth and her daughter moved in with
her parents and she went back to
hostessing to make ends meet
24. On 8 November 1950, she married 41-
year-old George Ellis, a divorced
dentist with two sons, at the register
office in Tonbridge, Kent.
28. In 1951, while four months
pregnant, Ruth
appeared, uncredited, as a beauty
queen in the Rank film Lady Godiva
29. She subsequently gave birth to a
daughter Georgina, but George refused
to acknowledge paternity and they
separated shortly afterwards.
30. Ruth and her daughter moved in with
her parents and she went back to
hostessing to make ends meet
31. Murder of David Blakely
In 1953, Ruth Ellis became the
manager of a nightclub. At this
time, she was lavished with expensive
gifts by admirers, and had a number of
celebrity friends
32. She met David Blakely, three years her
junior, through racing driver Mike
Hawthorn. Blakely was a well-
mannered former public school
boy, but also a hard-drinking racer
33. Within weeks he moved into her flat
above the club, despite being engaged
to another woman, Mary Dawson.
34. Ellis became pregnant for the fourth
time but aborted the child, feeling she
could not reciprocate the level of
commitment shown by Blakely towards
their relationship.
35. She then began seeing Desmond Cussen.
Born in 1921 in Surrey he had been an RAF
pilot, flying Lancaster bombers during the
Second World War, leaving the RAF in
1946, when he took up accountancy.
36. He was appointed a director of the
family business Cussen & Co., a
wholesale and retail tobacconists with
outlets in London and South Wales.
37. When Ruth was sacked as manager of the
Carroll Club, she moved in with Cussen at
20 Goodward Court, Devonshire
Street, north of Oxford Street, becoming
his mistress.
38. The relationship with Blakely
continued, however, and became
increasingly violent and embittered as
Ellis and Blakely continued to see other
people.
39. Blakely offered to marry Ellis, to which
she consented, but she lost another
child in January 1955, after a
miscarriage induced by a punch to the
stomach in an argument with Blakely
40. On Easter Sunday, 10 April 1955, Ellis
took a taxi from Cussen's home to a
second floor flat at 29 Tanza
Road, Hampstead, the home of
Anthony and Carole Findlater and
where she suspected Blakely might be.
41. As she arrived, Blakely’s car drove
off, so she paid off the taxi and walked
the quarter mile to The Magdala, a
four-storey public house in South Hill
Park, Hampstead, where she found
Blakely’s car parked outside.
42. At around 9:30 pm David Blakely and
his friend Clive Gunnell emerged.
43. Blakely passed Ellis waiting on the
pavement when she stepped out of
Henshaws Doorway, a newsagent next
to The Magdala.
44. He ignored her when she said
"Hello, David," then shouted "David!"
As Blakely searched for the keys to his
car, Ellis took a .38 calibre Smith &
Wesson Victory model revolver from
her handbag and fired five shots at
Blakely.
45. The first shot missed and he started to
run, pursued by Ellis round the
car, where she fired a second, which
caused him to collapse onto the
pavement.
46. She then stood over him and fired three
more bullets into him. One bullet was fired
less than half an inch from Blakely's back
and left powder burns on his skin.
47. Ellis was seen to stand mesmerised
over the body and witnesses reported
hearing several distinct clicks as she
tried to fire the revolver's sixth and
final shot, before finally firing into the
ground.
48. This bullet ricocheted off the road and
injured Gladys Kensington Yule, 53, the
wife of a local banker, in the base of her
thumb, as she walked to The Magdala.
49. Ellis, in a state of shock, asked
Gunnell, "Will you call the
50. She was arrested immediately by an
off-duty policeman, Alan Thompson
(PC 389), who took the still-smoking
gun from her, put it in his coat
pocket, and heard her say, "I am
guilty, I'm a little confused.
51. She was taken to Hampstead police
station where she appeared to be calm
and not obviously under the influence
of drink or drugs.
52. She made a detailed confession to the
police and was charged with murder.
Blakely's body was taken to hospital
with multiple bullet wounds to the
intestines, liver, lung, aorta and
windpipe
53. Investigation
No solicitor was present during Ellis's
interrogation or during the taking of
her statement at Hampstead police
station, although three police officers
were present that night at 11:30 pm:
55. Ellis was still without legal representation
when she made her first appearance at the
magistrates' court on 11 April 1955 and
held on remand
56. She was twice examined by principal
Medical Officer, M. R. Penry Williams, who
failed to find evidence of mental illness and
she undertook
an electroencephalography examination on
3 May that failed to find any abnormality.
57. While on remand in Holloway, she was
examined by psychiatrist
Dr D. Whittaker for the defense, and by
Dr A. Dalzell on behalf of the Home Office
59. Trial and execution
On 20 June 1955, Ellis appeared in the
Number One Court at the Old
Bailey, London, before Mr. Justice Havers
60. She was dressed in a black suit and
white silk blouse with freshly bleached
and coiffured blonde hair.
61. Her lawyers expressed concern about
her appearance (and dyed blonde
hair), but she did not alter it to appear
less striking
62. It's obvious when I shot him I intended to
kill him.
—Ruth Ellis, in the witness box at the Old
Bailey, 20 June 1955.
63. This was her answer to the only
question put to her by Christmas
Humphreys, counsel for the
Prosecution, who asked,
64. "When you fired the revolver at close
range into the body of David
Blakely, what did you intend to do?
65. The defending counsel, Aubrey Melford
Stevenson supported by Sebag Shaw and
Peter Rawlinson, would have advised Ellis
of this possible question before the trial
began, because it is standard legal practice
to do so.
66. Her reply to Humphreys's question in
open court guaranteed a guilty verdict
and therefore the mandatory death
sentence which followed.
67. The jury took 14 minutes to convict
her. She received the sentence, and was
taken to the condemned cell at Holloway.
68. In a 2010 television interview Mr Justice
Havers’s grandson, actor Nigel Havers, said
his grandfather had written to the Home
Secretary Gwilym Lloyd
George recommending a reprieve as he
regarded it as a crime passionnel, but
received a curt refusal, which was still held
by the family.
69. It has been suggested that the final nail in
her coffin was that an innocent passer-by
had been injured.
70. Reluctantly, at midday on 12 July
1955, the day before her
execution, Ellis, having dismissed
Bickford, the solicitor chosen for her by
her friend Desmond Cussen, made a
statement to the solicitor Victor
71. (whose law firm had previously
represented her in her divorce
proceedings but not in the murder
trial) and his clerk, Leon Simmons.
72. She revealed more evidence about the
shooting and said that the gun had
been provided by Cussen, and that he
had driven her to the murder scene.
73. Following their 90-minute interview in
the condemned cell, Mishcon and
Simmons went to the Home
Office, where they spoke to a senior
civil servant about Ellis's revelations.
75. In a final letter to David Blakely's parents
from her prison cell, she wrote "I have
always loved your son, and I shall die still
loving him
76. Ever since Edith Thompson's execution in
1923, condemned female prisoners had
been required to wear thick padded calico
knickers, so just prior to the allotted
time, Warder Evelyn Galilee, who had
guarded Ellis for the previous three
weeks, took her to the lavatory.
77. Warder Galilee said, “I’m
sorry, Ruth, but I’ve got to do this.”
They had tapes back and front to pull.
78. Ellis said “Is that all right?” and “Would
you pull these tapes, Evelyn? I’ll pull
the others.”
79. On re-entering the condemned cell, she
took off her glasses, placed them on the
table and said "I won't be needing these
anymore
80. Thirty seconds before 9 am on Wednesday
13 July, the official hangman, Albert
Pierrepoint, and his assistant, Royston
Rickard, entered the condemned cell and
escorted Ruth 15 feet (4.6 m) to the
execution room next door.
81. She had been weighed at 103 pounds
(47 kg) the previous day and a drop of
8 ft 4in was set.
82. Pierrepoint carried out the execution in
just 12 seconds and her body was left
hanging for an hour.
88. The case caused widespread controversy at
the time, evoking exceptionally intense
press and public interest to the point that it
was discussed by the Cabinet.
89. On the day of her execution the Daily
Mirror columnist Cassandra wrote a
column attacking the sentence, writing
"The one thing that brings stature and
dignity to mankind and raises us above the
beasts will have been denied her – pity and
the hope of ultimate redemption.
90. A petition to the Home Office asking
for clemency was signed by 50,000
people, but the Conservative Home
Secretary Major Gwilym Lloyd
George rejected it
