You Shall Not Give False Testimony Against Your Neighbor

Hello Dear Ones!

We’re almost wrapping it up on the Ten Commandments. Today we;re on the 9th commandment that was written on tablets of stone by God and given to Moses on Mount Sinai. 

The 9th commandment is “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.” Exodus 20:16

Giving a “false testimony” means saying anything untrue to someone or about someone.

This is also one of the 6 things the Lord hates, as seen in Proverbs 6:16-19 

16 There are six things the Lord hates,
    seven that are detestable to him:
17 haughty eyes,
    a lying tongue,
    hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
    feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19 a false witness who pours out lies
    and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.

The things that God hates are all things that bring people much pain and heartache. He truly does want the very best for us. And we can avoid much trouble and heartache in life by obeying God’s commands and living a life that honors Him.

With His grace, mercy and strength, we can live a life that pleases Him.

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

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

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.
