The fourth commandment calls us to a sabbath life of soft hearts and open hands 1. Soft hearts 2. Open hands
By Leif Kareliusson - Today, let's compare these two versions of the Fourth Commandment in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5. As we review, I want to encourage you to see the Sabbath not merely as a command, but as a gift from God—one that calls us to rest, remember, and extend this freedom to others.

Which sin does the Bible emphasize most—and what does it reveal about the dangers of institutionalized disobedience? This article argues that Jeroboam's subtle, respectable-looking idolatry became Israel's most destructive sin and offers striking parallels for Adventist mission and the call to uphold true worship today.

Episode Summary In Part 4 of That They May Have Life, we continue our morality series by moving through the Fourth Commandment's reach into civil society and then turning to the Fifth Commandment: “You shall not kill.” We begin with Jesus' teaching from the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5), where the Lord deepens the commandment beyond the external act of murder to the interior roots of anger, contempt, and vengeance. From there we explore why every human life is sacred, what the Church teaches about abortion, euthanasia, suicide, and scandal, and how Catholics are called to protect life with both truth and mercy. We also address legitimate defense, the responsibilities of civil authority, the Christian duty toward the common good, and the Church's role in making moral judgments when fundamental human rights or the salvation of souls is at stake. The session concludes by previewing the next series on the sacraments. Key Scripture Matthew 5:21–48 (anger, purity of heart, truthfulness, mercy, love of enemies) Luke 10:27 (love of God and neighbor) Matthew 22:37–40 (the greatest commandments) Mark 1:15 (repent and believe in the Gospel) Matthew 10:37 (loving Christ above family ties) Matthew 22:21 (render to Caesar…) Acts 5:29 (we must obey God rather than men) Topics Covered Recap: beatitude, repentance, law and grace, the Decalogue The Fourth Commandment and the “domestic church” Civil society, authority, and conscientious objection Witness of Blessed Franz Jägerstätter and A Hidden Life The Fifth Commandment: why human life is sacred Abortion: truth, mercy, and the Church's positive duty to support mothers and families Euthanasia vs. allowing natural death (ordinary vs. extraordinary means) Suicide: the objective evil of the act, diminished culpability, and Christian hope Scandal, gossip/slander, bodily integrity, organ donation, and peace Legitimate defense, punishment, just war principles, and the death penalty as a prudential judgment Practical Takeaways Ask: Where do anger, contempt, or vengeance take root in my heart? Protect life with both conviction and compassion—especially by helping people in crisis Pray for leaders and seek the common good without losing charity Remember: the Lord's call is not perfectionism, but conversion toward love Next Episode Next week we begin a new series on the sacraments, starting with Baptism and Confirmation.
The Law of God and the Christian Life (Lesson 4)
Episode Summary In this session, we turn to Christian morality through the lens of the Ten Commandments—always interpreted in light of Jesus Christ who “came not to abolish but to fulfill” the Law (Matthew 5:17–20). We review the foundations: beatitude as our common end, the call to repentance, and the way law and grace work together. Then we walk through the First Table of the Decalogue (Commandments 1–3) and begin the Fourth Commandment, covering practical questions like the occult/mediums, superstition, reverence for God's name, keeping Sunday holy, holy days of obligation, and the precepts of the Church. We conclude with Q&A about livestream/TV Mass and the Sunday obligation, then close in prayer. Key Scripture Matthew 5:17–20 — Christ fulfills the Law Luke 10:27; 1 John — Love of God and neighbor together Topics Covered Why the Ten Commandments must be read through Christ Beatitude and the moral choices it demands Law and grace: the “fence around the playground” Commandment 1: no other gods; idolatry; divination/occult; superstition; simony; sacrilege Q&A: “mediums,” charisms, discernment, and why Christians should not seek occult power Commandment 2: reverence for God's name; blasphemy; perjury; habitual flippant speech; profanity and speech discipline Commandment 3: Sunday worship; rest; culture of Sunday; holy days; precepts; fasting/abstinence; Fridays as penance Commandment 4 (beginning): link between love of God and love of neighbor; honoring parents; family as domestic church; duties of children and parents Practical Takeaways Ask: What “idols” compete with God in my life right now? Treat God as Father, not a vending machine—avoid superstition in devotional life Make Sunday visibly different when possible (worship, rest, joy) Recover Friday penance/charity as a quiet, countercultural witness Next in the Series Miss Nancy Glover: Catholic Social Teaching (next week) Then return to continue Commandments 4–10

The Fourth Commandment tells us to remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy. But what does keeping the Sabbath holy really look like? Well, on this episode of The Verdict, Pastor John Munro continues his study in the book of Matthew by examining how Jesus observed the Sabbath.
In this message, Ed Young teaches that God's rhythm, exemplified in the Fourth Commandment to work six days and rest one, is essential for holistic well-being—physical, emotional, and spiritual—and calls believers to align their lives with this divine pattern through regular Sabbath worship and rest, trusting in Jesus as the fulfillment of this commandment.
Today we're learning with Pastor Jeff about the Fourth Commandment and the Sabbath—a special time God set apart for rest and worship. When we pause to rest and focus on God, we're saying with our hearts, "God, I trust You." Genesis 2:3: "God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, for on it he rested from all his work of creation."
Pastor Jeff teaches today that God's commands aren't meant to stop our fun—they're meant to help us live the best life He designed for us. The Fourth Commandment reminds us to worship God, and the Fifth teaches us to love and honor our parents. Leviticus 19:3 "Each of you is to respect his mother and father. You are to keep my Sabbaths; I am the LORD your God."

[00:30] Stop in the Name of God (56 minutes) Charlie Kirk's last book, Stop in the Name of God, encourages everyone to keep the seventh-day Sabbath. God commanded Sabbath observance thousands of years ago, but most of mankind rejects God's authority, government and laws. True Christians must choose to obey all of God's commandments, including the Sabbath day.
