OBEYING GOD'S COMMANDMENTS (1)

OBEYING GOD'S COMMANDMENTS
From Exodus 20/Deuteronomy 5, etc.

Let us hear the decrees, and the laws of the Lord, learn them, and be sure to follow them:

?You shall have no other gods but me':
Lord, help us to love you
with all our heart, all our soul,
all our mind and all our strength.

?You shall not make for yourself any idol':
Lord, help us to worship you
in spirit and in truth.

?You shall not dishonour the name of the Lord your God':
Lord, help us to honour you
with reverence and awe.

?Remember the Lord's day and keep it holy':
Lord, help us to celebrate Christ
risen from the dead,
and to set our minds on things above,
not on things on the earth.

?Honour your father and your mother':
Lord, help us to live as your servants,
giving respect to all,
and love to our brothers and sisters
in Christ.

?You shall not murder':
Lord, help us to be reconciled
one with another,
and to overcome evil with good.

?You shall not commit adultery':
Lord, help us to realise
that our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit.

?You shall not steal':
Lord, help us to be honest in all we do,
and to care for those in need.

?You shall not be a false witness':
Lord, help us always to speak the truth.

?You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbour':

Lord, help us to remember Jesus said,
?It is more blessed to give
than to receive',
and help us to love our neighbours
as ourselves;
for his sake. Amen.
