June 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

June 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 createdthe Sabbath as part of the weekly cycle of life. It is a day of rest —something sorely needed these... More

June 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

June 6 ‘…He who has seen Me has seen the Father…’ — John 14:9

Idols of the mind

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 and... More

June 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

June 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... More

June 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
