1.Ten Commandments
God wants to marry you - leaven and all. No matter what you've done, or where you've been, God is determined to make it right for you. The OT marriage covenant (and its Hebrew context), are used to understand some things Jesus said about his return, and about the rapture. The 10 commandments is considered from the perspective of a long line of slaves. So we get a day off? You can't kill me, or take my things, just because you're stronger than me? My human rights and dignity will be respected in our new culture? That is fantastic!
2. I am the Lord your God
The Ten Commandments starts with Grace, with God giving people something that they did not earn or deserve: "I am the Lord your God", who is choosing to bless you with freedom from slavery, not because of anything you've done, but because I love you, and want all the people of the world to know that I am a loving God. Welcome to being human again. Anokhi: an offer to increase us, inside the “hedge of praise and submission”

We don't like spirit, because we can't control it. It doesn't obey our rules. Where is God? How big is He? If you want to live a successful life, you've got to organise your life to where God is with you all the time; not a statue/idol that's with you one minute, but not the next.

4. Remember the Sabbath, Keep it Holy
Is God still the creator, even when He's resting? Am I me, regardless of what I'm producing; or is my entire life and worth defined by the number of bricks I can make? Anything we do around Sabbath that puts people in bondage, instead of bringing relief to a situation, misses the point.

5. Honour
How do I honour someone who wasn't honourable? Nobody's parents are perfect. Honour is not ignoring wrong things, or saying wrong things are right, or having no boundaries. Honour has more to do with what we pass on to the next generation; than how we respond to the previous one. It's maintaining godliness through our generations. It's choosing to be honest about the ungodliness, and choosing to break the cycle. Be thankful you're alive; realise your parents were a part of fallen humanity; give up the urge to take vengeance, and to judge - realise they were wounded too.
