You Shall Not Steal

Hi there!

Today we’re on the 8th commandment that was written on tablets of stone by God and given to Moses on Mount Sinai.

The 8th commandment is “You shall not steal.” Exodus 20:15

This commandment is very plain and easily understood. Just imagine if everyone obeyed this commandment. We would be living in a different world, free of concern that someone will break into our homes or take something we value.

How wonderful it would be to live in a world where everyone obeys God and lives life His way!

God gives us commandments for our benefit so that we have boundaries in life to spare us pain and trouble. He’s not trying to take away our fun and joy. His will for us is to live a blessed life, full of joy unspeakable and full of glory!

There is no greater joy or blessing than obeying God and living in His glorious presence forevermore, and no one and nothing is worth trading that for.

I hope you take a few moments to check out my sculptures of Moses and the Ten Commandments on this page! 

 

Blessings,

Sherry

You Shall Not Commit Adultery

Hello!

Today we’re on the 7th commandment that was written on tablets of stone by God and given to Moses on Mount Sinai.

The 7th commandment is “You shall not commit adultery.” Exodus 20:14

God commands those who are married to be faithful to one another in every way. Most people know what adultery is, and unfortunately millions of people have suffered a lot of pain and heartache from unfaithfulness.

According to dictionary.com, the word adultery is derives from a French word, avoutre, which in turn evolved from a distinct Latin verb, adulterare, “to corrupt.” The verb adulterate, “to debase or make impure by adding inferior materials or elements,” stems from the same source.

As always, God’s commandments are for our good, to protect us from defilement, deception, hurt, heartache and pain.

You Shall Not Murder

Hi there!

Today we’ll be talking briefly on the 6th commandment (of the Ten Commandments that were written on tablets of stone by God and given to Moses on Mount Sinai).

The 6th commandment is “You shall not murder.” Exodus 20:13

That’s really straightforward, easily enough to understood and should not be confused with killing in wartime battles or accidental death.

God places a high value on human life, and a life should not be taken simply because of selfishness, inconvenience, anger, hate, greed, etc.

Many people think they’ve never broken this commandment, but we can have hate and anger in our hearts that is also wicked just as murder is wicked. God wants us to have a clean heart filled with love, mercy and forgiveness towards others.

Honor Your Father and Mother

SHARING MY HEART AND PASSION

Hello Dear Ones,

Today we’re going to continue on with a short word on the Ten Commandments that were written on tablets of stone by God and given to Moses on My Sinai.

We’re at the fifth commandment, which is found in Exodus 20:12, “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.”

It’s very interesting how this commandment is connected to our days on the earth being long as we obey God in this instruction.

Honoring, respecting and faithfully bearing with our parents is a lifelong commandment, and it doesn’t end when we become an adult.

We’re not to take our parents for granted or forget them in their old age. We are to appreciate them all of our lives, and by honoring them, we are also honoring God.

Here are some ways to show honor to our parents at any age:

Treat them with respect

Be patient

Be kind

Forgive their shortcomings

Overlook their mistakes

Be helpful

Listen and respect their advice

Appreciate their care and provision

The list could go on and on when it comes to showing honor to our parents.

My Moses and the Ten Commandment sculptures were truly a labor of love for our Lord and a way to honor Him. And they are a wonderful reminder of God’s eternal words. Check them out on this page. 

Blessings,

Sherry

Remember the Sabbath

Hello Dear Ones,

I pray you are well and enjoying these short snippets on the Ten Commandments. Needless to say, there are many different views on what they mean, and I hope my short writings spur you on to study the Ten Commandments to have a fuller understanding. 

We’re at the fourth commandment, which is found in Exodus 20:8–11

“8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.”

According to Jewish custom, the Sabbath is a Saturday. It’s considered a holy day and a day for rest and no work, as an act of worship and honor to the Lord.

The Christian faith believes that the day of the Lord is the first day of the week, which is on a Sunday. Most Christians worship on Sundays.

In the beginning, God rested on the seventh day after His creation work, and He commands us to also work six days and rest one day of the week.

Whatever you believe, the most important thing is to honor the Lord every day, but take one day a week to rest and give God special worship and honor.

Here is a link to study this subject further on bible.org.

Honor God’s Name

SHARING MY HEART AND PASSION

Hi,

I hope all is well with you!

I’m continuing on with a short blurb on each of the Ten Commandments, and we are at the third commandment, which is found in Exodus 20:7.

“You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.

What does this mean?

Volumes could be written on all that this actually means, but to put it simply, it means we are never to dishonor the Lord by using His name or speaking about Him in any dishonoring way. 

The names of God reveal His amazing character, and we are commanded to respect and hold Him in the highest regard and esteem Him above all others. He deserves our highest praise and adoration, and when we speak His name or refer to Him in ANY way, we need to be sure it is with utmost honor. 

God ALWAYS has our best in mind, and if He commands something, you can be sure, it is to protect us from being deceived and defiled. He is good and loving, and following Him will always put and keep us on the right path.

I hope you take the opportunity to order one of my Moses sculptures to remind you of God’s goodness. My Moses and the Ten Commandments sculptures are on this page. 

Blessings,

Sherry
