Exodus 20:13

The Sixth Commandment reminds us that God is the God of life. He made man in His own image, and that image should be valued and protected. Surrounded by a culture of death, you and I need to be reminded often of the gift of life, and even more, the One who gave His life for us…

Exodus 20:12

The first four commandments are vertical, focusing on man’s relationship with God. The remaining six commands are horizontal, dealing with how we relate to one another. And the very first command where God instructs us on how to relate to one another has to do with children and parents. That’s because the family is the foundation of every other relationship, and ever aspect of society.

Exodus 20:8-11

Is it a sin for Christians to work on Sunday? How is Jesus the fulfillment of our Sabbath rest? The Fourth Commandment teaches us more than we realize.

Exodus 20:1-7

The third commandment tells us not to take the LORD’s name in vain. That means much more than just watching our language and not using God’s name in our curse words. It means having a heart that has been changed by Christ and growing in the desire to honor the name of Christ in every way possible.

In the second commandment, we are reminded that God wants us to worship Him without having to see Him or any image that depicts Him. Our faith is in who He is, as He has revealed Himself in Scripture, not in some image or idol or statue or painting.

Exodus 20:1-3

Our hearts are often noisy and crowded, with something or someone competing for our affection, our attention, our allegiance, our pursuit, our trust, and our worship. But there’s only room for one ruler of our hearts, and that’s God Himself…

Exodus 20:1-17

It would be hard to find another section of literature of any kind that has had as big of an impact on mankind and modern society greater than the impact the Ten Commandments have had. Also known as the Decalogue, or “Ten Words” in Hebrew, the Ten Commandments hold a unique place of prominence in human history, not only for what they meant to the Hebrew people at Mt. Sinai, but also what they mean in the life of the Christian today.

Israel has now come to Mount Sinai, the Mountain of God, and it is moment of preparation for them to receive God’s covenantal words, formalizing their relationship with the Lord, and affirm that they will serve him alone.

Exodus 18:1-27

It is the death of an organization when it depends on just one person. It will either inflate a man’s ego, or it will crush his soul. Unshared burdens destroy people, but responsibilities that are shared grow humility and bring glory to God…
