I want to thank everyone who hosted and led a Ten Commandments home group and all of you who participated or came to worship. I hope you feel you’ve learned a little that has helped you in your walk of faith. Today we come to the first commandment: Exodus 20:1-3, “Then God spoke all these…

In the fall of 1986 I was a first year student at Boston University School of Theology. Some of my classes were required for all first years including Old Testament and Philosophy of Religion.
