J U N E 1 3 “You shall not commit adultery.” — Exodus 20:14

Avoiding Sexual Sins

As you well know, we live in a society that laughs at “outdated” ideas about sexual purity and marital faithfulness. Those who live by God’s standards are anomalies, called “oldfashioned” and “narrow-minded.” Pardon me for getting a little personal, but how have our society’s attitudes affected your attitudes? Let’s quickly refresh ourselves on God’s commands regarding marital... More

J U N E 1 1 “You shall not murder.” — Exodus 20:13

Do Not Murder

This commandment, though stating a value we all hold, has tipped off some of the most heated debates in our society. For example, people often debate how this commandment applies to abortion. Some contend that abortion can’t be murder because they believe that life doesn’t begin at conception. However, the Bible clearly states that a baby has life the moment he or she is conceived. In fact, unlike our culture, the Bible uses the... More

J U N E 1 0 “And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.” — Ephesians 6:4

Godly Dads

Are you a father? If so, how is your relationship with your children? Are you enjoying a close, nurturing relationship or tolerating a distant, divided one? Karl Marx once said that in order to take over any nation, one must create a breach between one generation and the next, preventing the transfer of strong values, morals, and beliefs. We saw this in our own nation as the famed “generation gap” between the youth of the... More

J U N E 1 2 “. . . [Judas] went and hanged himself.” — Matthew 27:5

On Taking Your Own Life

Yesterday we looked at murder; today we look at suicide … a leading cause of death among young people in America today. Suicide is the murder of ourselves, and since murder is wrong according to the Sixth Commandment, suicide is wrong. The Bible makes it plain that we have no more right to take our own lives than to take the life of another. Scripture mentions the sin of suicide just five times. In over four thousand years of...

J U N E 9 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.” — Exodus 20:12

Honor To Parents

Do you remember the old slogan from the sixties “Never trust anyone over thirty”? For many in our culture, “authority” has become a dirty word. While all authority figures have been the target of this attitude, it seems particularly directed toward parental authority. But God, who is outside our ever-fluctuating social trends, tells us something quite different. In fact, He commands the opposite. In the Fifth... More

J U N E 8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” — Exodus 20:8

Keeping The Sabbath Holy

When Sunday rolls around, do you take the day off to play, rest, dwell on God, and interact with family and friends? Or do you see Sunday as another day to clean the house, catch up on work, weed the garden, and wash the car? While under attack by many today, the Sabbath is a blessing, not a curse. When God created the earth, He created the Sabbath as part of the weekly cycle of life. It is a day of rest—something sorely needed these... More

J U N E 7 “You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses His name.” — Exodus 20:7

Honoring God’s Name

Can you remember the last time you heard someone using God’s name in vain? People do this so regularly that it often doesn’t register in our minds anymore. In fact, blasphemy and profanity are so common these days that Hollywood film producers feel they must include them in their pictures to draw crowds. This wasn’t always so. In Old Testament times, no one could even speak God’s name (Yahweh) except the high priest,... More
