This commandment asks us to be faithful in word, act, thought and intention, and to avoid lustful thoughts, desires and actions. Adultery means to "make different" or“alter”. This is a clue to what goes on in our mind that can lead us to hurtful behaviors. When we let a lie or what is false become true in our mind, or when we let a selfish desire become attractive and good in our heart then we have adulterated what is true and good. When we let this happen in our mind and heart we have allowed things to be "made different" than they should be. We made them okay when the weren't. When it seems okay then it must be okay and is therefore okay to act on it (at least in our mind). Understanding this commandment more fully can help keep us out of these traps. There is always a path back to the Lord when we have made mistakes. The Lord's "mercy endures forever." (Psalm 36) Join us Sunday at 10:30 a.m. in person or on our livestream as we discover how to rise above anger hurtful desires and behaviors.
