What Sunday Should Mean to You, Part 2 of 2 (The Ten Commandments)

July 11, 2014

God made it clear that all of us need a day of rest. The concept is so important that it is included in the Ten Commandments. Nowadays, Sunday is just another day to shop or work, rather than a day set aside for reflection, meditation and prayer.

Living With Your Passions
In a hyper-sexualized culture, sex is either reduced to pleasure-seeking or conflated with our identity. But God designed us as sexual beings for emotional and spiritual intimacy whose highest calling is to worship Him. In this revised edition, Pastor Erwin Lutzer draws on forty years of ministry experience to present a rationale for sexual purity. He gives an honest answer to the sexual pressures we face like extramarital relationships, self-gratification, same-sex attraction, and more. As desire-driven creatures, we don't have to pursue happiness at the expense of character. With our identity grounded in Christ, we can live victoriously with our passions.

A century ago, British Olympian Eric Liddell refused to run on Sunday. Made famous in the movie “Chariots of Fire,” he held to a conviction that the Lord’s Day was sacred. Have we gone off track?

The commandment to not take God’s name in vain goes to the core of His nature, and to the heart of respecting Him as Creator. Do we understand how important His name really is?
July 9, 2014
Christians know that God’s name is holy and is not to be misused by swearing, cursing, or improper oath-taking. Keeping His name set apart was so important to God that He wrote a command about it on a tablet of stone.

“I am the Lord, that is My name. My glory I will not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.” No ambiguity there. It is clear that God will not tolerate the worship of images, but do crosses, crucifixes, or icons violate God’s commandment?

Whether it be a cross or a bronze serpent, idols can be made from the most innocent of forms. Even in our thoughts, we enjoy forming a false god who is more like us than the God of the Bible. That is why God commanded, “You shall not make for yourself a carved image.”

It is in the nature of man to worship something, even deities made of wood and stone. But God makes it clear that He will not tolerate any idols. The first commandment requires that nothing replaces God in our allegiance.  
July 3, 2014
There is one area in which God tolerates no competition. He wants to be supreme in our lives, and He made that clear by writing on a tablet of stone the first of the Ten Commandments.

Just as the law of gravity is unchangeable, so also is God’s moral law. The commandments He gave to Moses define His character and His expectations of our behavior.
July 1, 2014
The great moral code God gave to Moses contains principles governing our relationships with God and with each other. That code shows us who we are, and more importantly, who God is. This code is the Ten Commandments.

Seeing ourselves as clay on a potter’s wheel helps us avoid the “I’m in charge” attitude we all too often have. As the Potter, God is in charge, and His hidden purpose will take us through the fire so that, one day, we will come out as gold.
