Our Christian Commitment – Revisited

Mr. John Durrad    04-06-2019    (from 04-03-2010)


Our baptism is a covenant (marriage) to God, and a commitment to daily to walk away from sin. What is our commitment level to this covenant? Keeping the commandments of God show our love to the Father and Christ and our love to others.

Commandment 1: Put God first in all things, and involve Him in the day-to-day decisions in your life.

Commandment 2: Do not allow any physical thing (family, job, entertainment etc.) be more important than God, and do not worship any graven image.

Commandment 3: Do not use God’s name with disrespect, in common phrases,  or in swearing.

Commandment 4: Keep the Sabbath holy by planning to attend services and having dialogue with other members (on-line or in person).

Commandment 5:  Show respect for your parents in your discussions and actions toward them.

Commandment 6: Do not murder anyone in thought, word, or by actions.

Commandment 7:  Do not engage in adultery in thought, word, or by actions.

Commandment 8: Do not steal from others. Instead remember love is giving in thought, word, and by actions.

Commandment 9: Be honest in dealing with others in thought, word and actions.

Commandment 10: Do not covet the things of others. Put God’s work first and pray for others.

Recapture Your First Love

Mr. Jon Ardis         07-13-2013


Do I still have my first love as at baptism? How do we keep it/restore it if it is diminished? 1) Remember your calling, 2) repent of sins, 3) do first works – study, prayer, fasting, involvement and meditation, 4) ask for more of God’s spirit, and 5) develop a sense of urgency as time is short!
