Deuteronomy 5-7 (13th Mar) - Karen

The Ten Commandments

Most of us would be familiar with these 10 sacred laws that Moses commanded to the Israelites when they came out of Egypt at Mount Sinai. If you do not know what they are, do take time to read, learn and follow them as these Commandments are God’s standards for right living. To obey them is to obey God.

We know that Obedience is better than sacrifice, because God looks at the heart and your desire to please Him moves the heart of God.

If we read closely, Moses did provide a suggestion of how we can live by these simple principles, in order that we might have a growing relationship with God

To Hear – Absorb and accept information about God
To Learn – Understand its meaning and implications
To Follow – Put into action what we have leant and understood.

And now, here’s a Godly Challenge that I want to present to you:

Out of the 10, would you pull out one of the commandments that God is hardest for you in terms of obeying? Would you then covenant before God that you will obey Him in that commandment, and share this with a fellow sister/brother for accountability?


“Love the Lord your God will all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength….”

The central theme of the book of Deuteronomy is summarized in Chapter 6, verses 4 – 9. Here we are reminded to love God, think constantly about his commandments, teach his commandments to our children, and live each day by the guidelines in His word. The church provides a loving environment where we can learn eternal truths effectively. Thank God for livingstones – this is our family where we learn and grow together as a family in our relationship with God.
