The TEN Commandments
1. NO other gods (Exodus 20:3)
I put God first in my life.
2. NO idols (Exodus 20:4-6)
NO person of thing is more important than God.
3. DO not take God's name in vain (Exodus 20:7)
"God" isnt an empty word to me. I use his name only in a loving way, and count on him to help me every day.
4. KEEP the Sabbath holy (Exodus 20:8-11)
Each week has a special day set aside just for worshiping and praising God, for reading his Word and for getting together with other believers.
5. HONOR my father and mother (Exodus 20:12)
I show respect for my parents by listening to them and trying to please them.
6. DO not murder (Exodus 20:13)
I know life is precious. I take a stand against anything that hurts the life or well-being of others.
7. DO not commit adultery (Exodus 20:14)
I show respect for the opposite sex by keeping my thoughts and actions pure and by remaning that sex is God's gift to married couples.
8. DO not steal (Exodus 20;15)
I refuse to take or keep for my own use that doesnt belong to me: "borrowed" clothing or money, test or homework information, whatever.
9. DO not give false testimony (Exodus 20:16)
I know a person's reputation is valuable, and I refuse to lie or gossip about anyone.
10. DO not covet (Exodus 20:17)
I like others for themselves, not because they have stylish clothes or the right haircut. I don't think my own value depends on what I have or what I wear.
