11/24 - Exodus 20

Exodus 20

A couple of questions for you to consider:

Can you name all 10 commandments?
We talk about how important they are, yet we struggle to remember all 10.

Which is the hardest for you to obey?
As Americans I think there are a couple we struggle to follow.
- "the seventh day is a sabbath" Keeping a day of Sabbath, rest, is almost impossible for us. We believe that unless we are always doing, we will somehow miss life. The irony is that we create an incredibly fast pace of life then wonder where life went.
-"You shall not covet" It would seem that our economy is built on us never being satisfied and coveting what we do not have. The consequence is that in the midst of incredible abundance, we are in debt and wanting more.
- "You shall not take the Lord's name in vain" Taking the Lord's name in vain is so common we don't even pause when we hear God's name used in that manner.
