God's Gifts to A Freed People

The Text: 

Then the Lord God spoke these words: I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt and up out of the house of slavery; you shall have no other gods but me.                                                                                                                                                  Exodus 20:1

Israel, 2012

The Whispering: 

Greetings from sunny Florida where I am at a working conference with other Interim ministers. My take-away is that CHN is a very healthy place!

You may or may not agree with the Ten Commandments taking up space on the walls of  public buildings, but there they are. And while we  may have  memorized all of them and think they are a good idea (or not), I wonder if we ever really consider this first verse.

These are words of a people freed!!  

The  Commandments are God's gift to a newly liberated people!

They could have been called, "Ways to Live a Life."

Two questions to ponder this week:

     1.  What and where are your "Egypts?"

     2.  How has God liberated you??
