May I remind you that the devil is the father of lies? Those who do not find it essential to tell the truth at all times are, no doubt, held captive by the devil.

If we understand what is required in the Eighth Commandment, then we will realise that none of us can claim to have never stolen. 

Cast your burden and guilt on the Lord Jesus Christ. He can heal you of your guilty conscience, and He alone can forgive you. But go and sin no more.

May Christ, the Lord of the Sabbath, be greatly exalted as we seek to make it known to the world that we belong to Him by making His day a delight.

May the Lord help us to delight in the Sabbath of the Lord and seek both to keep it holy and to delight in it to the glory of God and Christ, our Creator and Redeemer, for the good of our body and soul.

In this article, we look at the second commandment.
