Am I me, regardless of what I'm producing; or is my entire life and worth defined by the number of bricks I can make? Is God still the creator, even when He's resting? The Sabbath is a day where you live like your work is done, even if it isn't - and that is healing. The world goes on, because God is God, and you are not. The supply of everything I need, is as close to me as the air that I'm breathing, I just need to stop and become aware of that. The 10 Commandments is about Grace, its God giving people something that they did not earn or deserve - it' welcome to being human again. Ten Commandments (1 of 6) (Shane Willard) God wants to marry you - leaven and all. No matter what you've done, or where you've been, God is determined to make it right for you - that is what the 10 Commandments are all about. The OT marriage covenant (and its Hebrew context), are used to understand some things Jesus said about his return, and about the rapture. The introduction of the 10 commandments is considered from the perspective of a long line of slaves. So we get a day off? You can't kill me, or take my things, just because you're stronger than me? My human rights and dignity will be respected in our new culture? That is fantastic! I am the Lord your God (2 of 6) (Shane Willard) The Ten Commandments starts with Grace, with God giving people something that they did not earn or "I am the Lord your God", who is choosing to bless you with freedom from slavery, not because of anything you've done, but because I love you, and want all the people of the world to know that I am a loving God. Welcome to being human again. Anokhi - an offer to increase us, inside the “hedge of praise and submission” Foundations for Your Success (3 of 6) (Shane Willard) We don't like spirit, because we can't control it. It doesn't obey our rules. Where is God? How big is He? If you want to live a successful life, you've got to organise your life to where God is with you all the time; not a statue/idol that's with you one minute, but not the next. We can't make God manageable. To have the best relationship with God, don't make your prayer life about words and needs, He already knows what your needs are. The supply of everything I need, which is as close to me as the air that I'm breathing, I stop and become aware of that. Remember the Sabbath, Keep it Holy (4 of 6) (Shane Willard) Is God still the creator, even when He's resting?
