The Zero-eth Commandment
THE TEN[DER] COMMANDMENTS: The Zero-eth Commandment Debates have raged between different segments of the Church over how we are to number the Ten Commandments. Some say there are two commandments on idolatry. Others say there are two commandments on coveting. But in Jewish thought, the first commandment is not so much a commandment as it is a declaration: “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery” (Exodus 20:2). Before God tells His people what they are to do, He reminds them of what He has already done. God’s work, then, is the power behind our works.

    King
    Lead Where You Are: King During this pandemic, leadership is needed now more than ever. No matter who you are, someone is looking to you to help them through. Christ’s ministry consisted of three ways He led us – as a prophet (someone who proclaimed God’s Word), as a priest (someone who sacrificed on our behalf), and as a king (someone who rules according to God’s ways). Christ, in turn, gives to us what He has done. When He sacrificed His very life, God vindicated this sacrifice by giving Him the Name that is above every name. His reputation is spotless, which is why countless millions follow Him. What do our reputations look like? Do our reputations show us to be people who live for My Next Step(s): - I will take 1 Cor. 7:17​ to heart—and lead from the POSITION God has me in now. - I will temper whatever leadership I exert with the PERSPECTIVE that Jesus is Lord. - I will lead in a way that PERSUADES others to live out their God-given purpose. - I will allow God to work in me to will and to act in order to fulfill His PURPOSE in me.

Christ’s ministry consisted of three ways He led us – as a prophet (someone who proclaimed God’s Word), as a priest (someone who sacrificed on our behalf), and as a king (someone who rules according to God’s ways). Christ, in turn, gives to us what He has done. He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to death on a cross. He gave everything. Paul says we are to have this same mindset. Before we can challenge others, we must give to them. What are we willing to sacrifice for the sake of others? My Next Step(s): - I will sacrifice something of privilege that I am able to do, but others aren’t . - I will seek to DO right, rather than be concerned with my own rights. - I will secretly serve for God’s glory, rather than bringing attention to myself. - I will set aside my own desires to help satisfy the desire, or need, of someone else.

My Next Step(s): - I will seek to reduce my grumbling, complaining and arguing. - I will reflect before I speak, recognizing that sometimes I lead by what I do NOT say. - I will be intentional about what I DO say - such that I hold forth the Word of Life. - I will seek to leave a legacy that brings glory to God on the Day Jesus returns.
