THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

Exodus 19:1-20:21

Kevin's Commentary

You are encouraged to go through steps or process scripture in these steps:

• Pray = in anticipation of what God wants you to discover. Lord, thank You for giving us the wisdom for fruitful living that is contained in Your laws.
• Read = with purpose look for what God is trying to communicate. You may want to read out of several translations and highlight key words.
• Reflect = on the context and put yourself in the shoes of people at that time. Some people consider the Ten Commandments outdated today. What use can they have in a modern, diverse society such as ours? Which ones are most needed today?
• God is ... What do we learn about God?
• We are ... What do we learn about people?
• There's a lot of controversy today surrounding the Ten Commandments. What place do you think they should have in our pluralistic society?
• Which of the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20) is most challenging to you? Why?
• Apply = information without application is fruitless. Decide on some practical steps you can take for fulfill what God wants you to do. While in many cases intensified in the New Testament, reread the Ten Commandments each day this week and decide how well you are able to live by each one. Pray for help to observe them as Jesus repeated them called us to live their intended application.
• Pray = yielding to God to empower you to do what the word convicted you to do. Pray that God's wise laws for living will gain greater acceptance throughout our country, churches, families, and personal lives.
