One Nation Under Greed (Exodus 20:17)

The commandment against coveting is a crucial reminder to focus on what God has given us, rather than desiring possessions that don't belong to us. This attitude can lead to a life centered around ourselves, causing us to compare and covet what others have.

A Parent's Bill of Rights (Exodus 20:12)

Children have four deep needs that parents must nurture: wisdom, stature, favor with God, and favor with men. Parents must teach their children to respect authority, provide a recognition of values, and honor their parents. The home is a place where children learn to mature, relate to God, and develop selflessness. A godly home is under attack, and parents must take responsibility for teaching their children the importance of obedience, respect, and reverence for authority. [... more]

Ten Commandments and the 21st Century (Exodus 20:1-6)

The first commandment, 'You shall have no other gods before me,' is the foundation for the other nine, as it establishes God's sovereignty and preeminence in our lives.

It is through faith in God and acknowledging His sovereignty that we can live honestly, contentedly, and in accordance with the moral law, which reveals our sinfulness and provides a standard for godly living.

From Pasture to Brickyard (Exodus 1:1-22)

The book of Exodus tells the story of how God brought the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt and into the Promised Land. The Israelites were afflicted and oppressed by the Egyptians, who feared their growing numbers and sought to discourage them from multiplying. However, the Hebrew midwives, Shifra and Puah, refused to obey Pharaoh's command to kill the Hebrew boys, and instead let them live. This act of defiance against authority is a powerful example of standing up for what is right, even in the face of adversity. [... more]
