The second commandment, "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, (...) Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them..."
The eighth commandment, "Thou shalt not steal."
Neat, huh?

Mnemonics for 10 Commandments
Do you have trouble remembering which of the Ten Commandments is which? I did. I grew up in a protestant church that followed the Roman Catholic version. After the Lord saved me, I could never keep them straight. If you have read through Exodus 20, you may have wondered why they don't match what you learned in catechism or CCD or whatever. I'll spare you the explanation here, but I wanted to share this link with you, which is a great mnemonics device! Here are a couple of examples:
The second commandment, "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, (...) Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them..."
The second commandment, "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, (...) Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them..."

I just tested him again an hour later. It's great.
Oh, that was a neat link. We will have to try it - I love mnemonics.
ReplyDeleteI just came across you comment on my blog and I apologize for not responding sooner!!!! The holidays have compelled me to put blogging on the back burner; I could blame it on busy-ness but likely it has more to do with poor time management :) ! Anyway, of course you may reprint my post for your church newsletter; in fact, I would be honored! Blessings!
