What a beautiful day in Winnipeg....temperature is sitting nicely at -11C and it is really sunny! We've been looking at the Ten Commandments as found in Exodus 20 and I've been rediscovering the practical aspects of these top ten. Instead of boiling them down to two....we're looking at the 10 so that the two make more sense to us as the people who want to connect with God and connect with people. The first 4 commands give us clear direction on how to connect with God in a personal relationship and understand that the entire basis for the commandments is a relationship with God. Not god as one of many things or relationships that occupy our time and attention, but God as the giver of life...here and eternal...the designer of our gene pool....and source of our creativity.....made in His image and situated to understand and deepen our relationship with Him and be a living illustration of how that relationship effects our lives.
As I don't want to keep you very long from enjoying the warm sunny weather outside...let me say this...take a few minutes to read Exodus 20 verses 1-17 with a view of God loving us and desiring to protect us and nurture that relationship with us personally......the Top Ten really are a top ten list of relating and behaving that will give us a life filled with genuine relationships and great fulfillment.
Looking forward to worshipping with you again this Sunday,
Blessings,
Pastor Brian
