No "The 10 Suggestions"
The 10 Commandments.
If we follow these, we are making a good start to please God. Yet Jesus said that if you just follow 2 commandments you are pleasing God:
Don't love ANYTHING more than God.
Love your neighbor as much as yourself.
Thin about it; will you murder your neighbor if you love them like you love yourself? Will you steal from them? covet what they have? lie to them?
Of course not!
And if your #1 love is God you won't worship idols (even the ones in sports, movies, music or the mirror), use His Name disrespectfully, or disobey the authorities He put in your life to bring you to adulthood (adults do have to honor their parents, though they don't have to obey them).
Worship of our God is so good. He is such a great God!

Thank you so much for commenting! I love to talk to my readers.
I do ask that there be no anonymous commenters, though. If I am brave enough to put my name on this blog, you should be too:-)
Please keep it civil. Remember we are all human and make mistakes, and that since we can't see each other's faces or hear each other's tone of voice, it is very hard to get the emotion in what we are saying each other. Use lots of emoticons! :-) And show grace and love to each other.
