READ THE SERMON

3rd Sunday in Lent – March 7, 2021
Rev. Denise Clark-Jones

“TEN WISE WORDS”

In the late 20^th and early 21^st centuries, state, and the federal, Supreme courts have consistently ruled not to require or allow, if there is opposition, the Ten Commandments to adorn the walls of public buildings. The Ten Commandments have never been a legal document, they are so much more than that. The Ten Commandments are a holy covenant between God and God’s people. The bible tells us that God delivered these commandments, not as a rulebook for passing judgment, but as a description of the sacred relationship between God and the people with whom God had joined in the covenant.  Far less than a guide for behavior, these commandments are about identity – who God is and who we are as God’s people. Over the past year, there has been a great deal of controversy over the legality of rules regarding human behavior during the Coronavirus pandemic. Following the Ten Commandments, there is no issue. Following rules, which protect the lives created by our one and only, Almighty, All-Knowing, and All-Loving God, is the clear choice based on the Ten Commandments. The Apostle Paul tells us the wisdom of God is foolishness to the world. We have observed a lot of foolishness in our society lately. It is time to pay more attention to God’s wisdom and the Ten Commandments is a good place to start.

“I belong to Westminster because of the splendid worship services, the caring pastor and the faith in action programs…. Westminster made me feel like a welcome part of the church family and allows me to share ‘time, treasure and talents.’ It is a very warm and inclusive congregation with great leadership.”
