The Ten Commandments / Beatitudes
The Bible Says:
- "You shall not misuse the
name of the LORD your God,
- for the LORD will not hold anyone
guiltless who misuses his name."
- Deuteronomy 5:11
-
- The Ten Commandments (3) -
Swimming Upstream

- If the way some people talk does not make
you feel uncomfortable, it should! They use the words God, Lord,
Jesus, Christ, or "Holy Cow," as a slang. They may
even use God's name with curse words. Have you heard God called,
"the man upstairs, father time or mother earth?" Speaking
this way dishonors God. This should make you stop and think about
how we use these words. God is a Holy God and deserves respect.
Jesus Christ died on the cross to save you. He gave His Holy
Spirit to comfort and guide you. You will please God if you refuse
to watch movies, listen to music or read books that dishonor
Him. Tell others you cannot be around them if they misuse God's
name. Stand up for God! He will help you!
-
- Another way we misuse God's name is to
pray with unbelief. It is important to God for us to have faith
and trust in Him. He is our Heavenly Father. He longs for us
to love Him, trust Him and praise His Holy Name! We can begin
by being careful of our speech.
-
- Blessed Are You!
- "For I tell you, you will
not see me again until you say,
- 'Blessed is he who comes in the
name of the Lord.'"
- Matthew 23:39
-
Believing in Jesus Christ as our Lord and
Savior sometimes means we do not fit in with the crowd. Our way
of thinking needs to change from the way the world thinks to
the way God thinks. God will help us speak up for Him. Christians
pray in the name of Jesus. Sometimes we bow our heads and bend
our knees. We do this because we want to honor Him. It is OK
to pray in many other ways. Sometimes I lift my hands to exalt
Him. As we lift our hearts to God in prayer we will learn to
know Him more. We can bless the name of Jesus!
Liam Leapfrog needs help as he tries to
swim upstream. Cami Cub is there to lend a helping hand. She
knows how hard it is to go against the flow of the river in the
Kid Cave Forest. If Liam grabs hold of the stick, Cami can pull
him in the right direction! Liam is happy to have friends that
can help Him go the right way and keep him safe from danger.
God will always give us a helping hand
when we choose to honor Him. He says we will be blessed when
we come to Him in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ. He wants
us to use the words God, Lord, Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit
with respect. This will honor Him.

Commandment Series/Beatitudes
God made the world in six days and on the
seventh day He rested. God created the world and prepared a kingdom
for us. He knows we need to rest and worship Him. Come back next
time and we will look at this "to do" commandment of
God!
