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! 

 

Blessings,

Sherry

Honor Your Father and Mother

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

No Idols

Hi,

I hope you’re having a lovely day!

I’m continuing on with a short blurb on the Ten Commandments, and we are at the second commandment, which is found in Exodus 20:4-6.

“You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting[c] the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.” 

What does this mean?

God commands that we put no one and nothing else in His place. He is God Almighty, and He is the only one we are to bow to as in worship and serve as our Sovereign Lord and Master of all. 

Many religions throughout the world have carved images that they bow to and serve as their gods, making them divine and sacred. They are being deceived and will miss eternity in God’s glorious presence if they do not repent. 

I pray my Moses sculptures will be something to remind you in your home that God’s commandments are for our benefit, to keep our love and devotion on the ONE who is our source of ALL help. Obeying Him guards us from deception and keeps us safe from the enemy’s snares.

You’ll see several of my Moses and the Ten Commandments sculptures by clicking on this page. 

Blessings,

Sherry
