J U N E 5 “You shall not make for yourself any carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.” — Exodus 20:4

Graven Images

Read that verse again. Think about it. What does it mean to you? Over the years, people have held varying interpretations of that verse. Some people believe that the Second Commandment forbids any kind of visual art including television, motion pictures, books, paintings, and pictures. But this interpretation doesn’t fit with God’s instruction to Moses to build a tabernacle that included visual representations such as embroidery... More

J U N E 6 “... He who has sent Me has seen the Father ...” — John 14:9

Idols Of The Mind

There are many idolaters among us today. We may not carve gods from wood or stone, but we often shape an idol in our mind—a cheapened image of God. We carve God up until we’ve whittled Him down to our own liking. Then we bow down and worship the image we’ve made. We deceive ourselves into thinking we’re worshiping the true God when we’re doing nothing of the kind. We need to throw away our limited understanding... More

J U N E 4 “For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant . . .” — Romans 11:25

Beside Me There Is No Other God

Do you know God? Not just know about Him, but really know Him? Do you know that we can know God, for He has come into this world and revealed Himself to us through Jesus Christ? Agnostics believe that God is essentially unknowable. Thomas Huxley coined the term “agnostic” in the nineteenth century. The term comes from two Greek words: gnosis (to know) and a (to take away). Although “agnostic” is a relatively new... More

J U N E 3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.” — Exodus 20:3

No Other Gods

A class of college students had the assignment of ranking the Ten Commandments in order of importance as they saw them. The students ended up reversing the order. At the bottom of the list, they placed the command “You shall have no other gods before Me.” Where would you have ranked this commandment? Many people today utterly forget their Creator. They offer Him no praise or thanks. They don’t even give Him a second... More

J U N E 2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt . . .” — Exodus 20:2

How To Interpret The Ten Commandments

In the next few days, we’ll take a close look at each of the Ten Commandments. But before delving into each one, let me make a few general observations that should help you better understand all of them. First, each commandment contains both a negative action and a positive action for us to obey. For example, when a commandment forbids murder, it inherently commands us to sustain life. When it forbids adultery, it commands purity. When... More

J U N E 1 “Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.” — 1 John 2:3

The Ten Commandments Today

In numerous classes, to hundreds of people, I have posed this question: “Can anyone tell me any one single thing any person can do that would please God other than obey His law?” What would you say? It’s a tough question, and so far, no one in my classes has come up with an answer. Some have said, “Well, we could love God,” and to do so would be to obey what Jesus said was the first and greatest commandment:... More

M A Y 3 1 “And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” — Matthew 1:21

The Name Above Every Name

Many people are given exalted names but never live up to them. Charles Spurgeon tells about wandering in a cemetery and seeing a headstone inscribed with these words: “Sacred to the memory of Methuselah Coney. Age, six months.” (Recall that the Biblical Methuselah lived more than nine hundred years.) The most important name the world has ever heard is the name of Jesus, and Jesus lived up to everything that name foretold. To... More
