      I. The Ten Commandments

      The Simple Way a Father Should Present Them to His Household

      The First Commandment

      You must not have other gods. (Exodus 20:3)

      What does this mean?

      We must fear, love, and trust God more than anything else.

      The Second Commandment

      You must not misuse your God's name. (Exodus 20:7)

      What does this mean?

      We must fear and love God, so that we will not use His name to curse, swear, cast a spell, lie or deceive, but will use it to call upon Him, pray to Him, praise Him and thank Him in all times of trouble.

      The Third Commandment

      You must keep the Sabbath holy. (Exodus 20:8)

      What does this mean?

      We must fear and love God, so that we will not look down on preaching or God's Word, but consider it holy, listen to it willingly, and learn it.

      The Fourth Commandment

      You must honor your father and mother. [So that things will go well for you and you will live long on earth]. (Exodus 20:12)

      What does this mean?

      We must fear and love God, so
