14 Do not commit adultery. Exodus 20:14 Physical adultery is sex between a married person and a person that is not their spouse. It causes a world of hurt. It breaks hearts, rips apart relationships, and causes division in families. This is why God forbids adultery, but it goes deeper than just acts physical of adultery.

Death is a horrible thing! 13 Do not murder. Exodus 20:13 It entered into the world with sin. Sin invaded the goodness God created and broke the unity between humans and God. So when God commands us to not murder, we can understand because all of life is treasured by Him. Murder is terrible because each

12 Honor your father and your mother so that you may have a long life in the land that the Lord your God is giving you. Exodus 20:12 What does it mean to honor your parents? I think this command looks differently based on your age. Much like our obedience to God, honoring your parents flows not out of

2 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the place of slavery. Exodus 20:2 This is one of my favorite verses in all of scripture. The LORD your God. God says I am yours. This scripture comes right before the 10 Commandments of the Lord are given. I

When I look back at the past 30 years of my life, I get sad. I have wasted so much of my life on things that were not of the Lord. I was spending all my time and resources after temporal things. I lost all my eternal blessings in a vain endeavor. Even as God’s
