It is not wrong to desire or want things. What is wrong is that you would be driven to desire things so that you would have them and other people would not. It is a corrupt view of the world that God has made. It is wrong not to recognise that the creative genius in people […]
In this passage we are commanded “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbour”. God hates it. This command is repeated throughout the Bible and we should not ignore it. As people, we find lying quite an easy thing to do. It all went wrong in the Garden of Eden with a lie (Genesis 3 v 4). […]

We continue our series in Exodus, looking at the Fifth Commandment: “Honour your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.”
