Broadway Baptist Church Maryville Tennessee

As we learned last week, the first four commandments deal with our “vertical” relationship, while the last six with our “horizontal” relationships. As I said last week, “order matters”. The first two commandments give direction and clarity to the issues of “worship”. Man was created to worship and man worships; the question is the object of his worship! The first commandment has to do with worshiping the “right God”, while the second commandment has to do with worshiping the right God in the “right way”. These commandments taken together teach us “Who” God is and “How” He is to be worshiped. We are commanded “no to worship false gods” nor “worship the True God in a false way”.
