The ommand prohibniting adultery reminds us of how fundamental the creation institution of marriage is for a society. But even more, it pushes us to recognize that God is faithful, and a faithful God demands a faithful people.

re the 10 Commandments to be celebrated or reviled? Cherished or rejected? We begin a series on the 10 Commandments and look at what it means to have no other gods.
The Patriarch, Abraham, pleads with God to spare the residents of Sodom. How do we approach a righteous God when we are so unrighteous ourselves?
