"Just a Reminder"

I went to a concert last night at Westside Community Church with my two beautiful children.  We saw a group by the name of "Go Fish".  They bill themselves as kids music that parents can stand.  They actually had a lot of very powerful messages in their songs.  The music was loud, laser shows, lots of strobe lights, firing streamers and blasting smoke.  Really cool to see.  The kids and I never stopped dancing except when the group took a moment to read some scripture at a few points during the concert.  One of the most interesting songs I heard for me was the "Ten Commandments".  These are God's rules for living your life and are required.  I was listening to the song and I am embarrassed to say that I could not recall all 10 commandments.  So if you are like me, here is a refresher:

1. You shall have no other gods before me.

2. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

3.  You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.

4.  Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

5.  Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.

6.  You shall not murder.

7.  You shall not commit adultery.

8.  You shall not steal.

9.  You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

10.  You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.

There you have them, in case you forgot too.  I love these rules.  Clear.  Specific.  Not sure how to not work on Sundays but it is nice to have a really good reason not too. :)  Keeping Sundays Holy though, no problem.
