Well, we honor them, even if we only have one active or living parent because God said so!  He gave us this commandment as an example of HOW we should honor Him! How we treat our parents is a reflection of our respect for our TRUE Father in Heaven – Abba!

In this recent program, I examine Commandment # 5 during my indepth series on the Decalogue – the Ten Commandments! While we Christians are not under the law, but the dispensation of Grace, we are accountable to the Ten Commandments! Jesus – the Great I am – the Alpha and Omega, never did away with these remaining 10 of the 613 Laws of the Old Testament!

As I said in the first couple programs of this series, which can be viewed as PLUMBLINE programs #31-#40  on the WLCF TV channel on YouTube, these laws/commands/statues or commandments were given to us for our own good! Yes they were!  They are to keep us safe, alive, healthy, joyful and in fellowship with God and each other! They are not just a bunch of do’s and don’ts! They are a stop sign to keep us from running headlong into disaster! So without further ado, here is today’s message – and the transition from the first four commands to our relationship with each other, while we are here on this great earth which God has created! Amen!

Reflecting on the Faith Walk in 2012,  there have been so many small victories with  eternal consequences to so many people, that it boggles the mind. There are some things I can’t really talk about, because only the Lord should know these things: from the saintly brother who works hands on with the persecuted church worldwide to praying for the lost spouse of a close friend…the work of the Lord MUST pick up in 2013!

We are in a new phase of the battle for souls…the battle which demands us to lead others to realize there is more.
There is more to life than selling your birthright for a bowl of stew….or a fake disability SSI check.
There is more to life than expecting some incompetent politician in a far away city to pay for…(you name it) with borrowed Communist chinese money.
There is more to life than chasing your own tail in pursuit of somebody’s definition of success or happiness.
There is a whole lot more than that, my friends!
