SOOOOOOOPHOMOOOORES,
Or should say juniors? Super excited to spend the junior year with you guys! Anyways, what we think often comes out of our mouth and into someone else’s ears. Our words impact how we feel about ourselves and they can impact how others think and feel. Words are symbols that communicate what’s going on inside our heads to ourselves and others.

Resources such as the Ten Commandments and Beatitudes are given to us by God to help us do so. We truly have everything we need to live a holy, happy, and healthy life. Although you can learn everything there is to know about Christian morality, you can still struggle to live a good moral life. We must never forget that the goal of Christian morality is to live a holy life, a life that is purified from sin and darkness by our commitment to live as true followers of Christ.
God gave the Ten Commandments not only to Moses but all to all the women, men, and children of the world. It is God’s gift to the world. It came from a God who created us for love, from a God who made a Covenant with mankind, a God who only wants man’s good. The Ten Commandments point to a way of freedom which finds fullness in the law of the Spirit that is not written on stone tablets but on the heart. An example of how the 10 Commandments are ways to freedom and fullness of life is when the people experienced great liberation at the Red Sea. They had felt tangibly the power and faithfulness of God, of the God who sets us free. Another example is when God himself points out to his People, and to all of us, the way to stay free, a way that is engraved in the human heart as a universal moral law on Mount
