In Today’s Worship

Our worship today focuses on the Eighth Commandment.

THE EIGHTH COMMANDMENT

[God’s Gift of a Good Reputation]

You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

What does this mean?

We should fear and love God so that we do not tell lies about our neighbor, betray him, slander him, or hurt his reputation, but defend him, speak well of him, and explain everything in the kindest way.

– Dr. Martin Luther, The Small Catechism
