(ESV)\n\n Last month the governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, signed a\n law that requires the display of the Ten Commandments in every\n public school classroom beginning in 2025. In addition, the\n poster-sized display will have four paragraphs describing how the\n Ten Commandments were a prominent part of American public\n education for almost three centuries.[1]\n\n This week's Old Testament lesson are the Ten Commandments.\n We believe, teach, and confess that God had these Commandments\n engraved on stone, not to limit our freedom, but to teach us how\n to live in harmony with both God and neighbor. Jesus summarized\n the Ten Commandments:\n You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart\n and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is\n the great and first commandment. And a second is like\n it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.[2]\n\n\n As we study the Ten Commandments, we realize that any law\n serves three purposes. The first is to curb antisocial and\n harmful behavior. The second is to show us where we have failed.\n The third is a guide to show us how to best live in peace with\n each other.\n\n This week we will look at this controversial, yet so\n important, gift from God, a gift that helps us love Him and serve\n our neighbor.\n\n May our Lord grant you His richest blessings. Amen.\n ____________________\n\n 1. https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/louisiana-ten-commandments-\n displayed-classrooms-571a2447906f7bbd5a166d53db005a62\n\n 2.
