"You must have no other god but me: nothing should occupy and take majority of your time more than God. The idea was that idols would be some piece of iron, wood or stuff. Here you go: It mustn't necessarily be a piece of wood/iron (as in those days) but anything like social functions, television, electronic gadgets, phones, food etc. Anything that takes your time more than God becomes the idol in your life! God must be the Numero Uno (Number One!).
"You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea. You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected—even children in the third and fourth generations of those who reject me. But I lavish unfailing love for a thousand generations on those who love me and obey my commands: We aren't to esteem the worth of our phones, accessories, electronic gadgets, clothes, this day fashion, food more highly than our Father in Heaven so much so that we adore and worship them; because it really gets God jealous and mad; leading to severe punishment.
"You must not misuse the name of the Lord your God. The Lord will not let you go unpunished if you misuse his name: Remember the time when you use God's name to swear even when you know you are lying? Remember any other time when you just kept using God's name for fun? Okay, that's the thrust of this one! You don't do that. No arguments! You just don't. Maybe you should check for some other expression other than OMG, yeah?
"Remember to observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath day of rest dedicated to the Lord your God. On that day no one in your household may do any work. This includes you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, your livestock, and any foreigners living among you. For in six days the Lord made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and everything in them; but on the seventh day he rested. That is why the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart as holy: the Lord's day is a day to rest, not the day to go shopping for the latest, hottest clothes nor is it time to go partying, a day set aside to relax and think about God and His unending love. It doesn't matter which day is your Sabbath – whether it be Saturday or Sunday... You have to make it a sacred day. Go worship God and make the whole day count. This doesn't mean you should go through the whole week being rugged only to have this day sacred! Keep the Sabbath day most sacred...and the other days too!
"Honour your father and mother. Then you will live a long, full life in the land the Lord your God is giving you: Don't dare quarrel or fight your parents in any way, respect them at all times and heed to their biddings, make them happy and pleased to have you as a child; and God would bless you like no other. NOTE anyone old enough to be your parent IS your parent! So, don't think that obeying your biological or birth parents to the latter and being naughty to others is a pass mark! You must obey all the parents. Mmhmm!
"You must not murder: do not FOR ANY REASON kill any human. But murder sometimes transcends more than carrying a knife and stabbing someone or shooting the person. If you create an avenue that leads to someone's death – you just as well might have contributed to the person's death. Be careful!
"You must not commit adultery: we aren't supposed to indulge in premarital sex saying practice makes perfect or for whatever reason at all, that's pure crap, nonsense! Also, we shouldn't as much as look at someone else with lustful eyes or sinful intent, that's akin to having done whatever your thought is in the physical
"You must not steal: Do not take what doesn't belong to you without permission. It doesn't matter whether it's just a pen, that fine dress you've been eyeing since the year began but haven't got the funds for it or that awesome gadget your pal owns. It also doesn't matter if it belongs to your parents or siblings... As long as it is not yours and you don't have the permission, don't take it!
"You must not testify falsely against your neighbour: Do not speak untrue words of people in any way! No matter how sweet the temptation may be or the grudge you might have, keep mute! More, when you are asked, don't you ever speak wrong! Need we mention: Think before you talk and be wise in speech.
"You must not covet your neighbour's house. You must not covet your neighbour's wife, male or female servant, ox or donkey, or anything else that belongs to your neighbour." : We should not envy or greatly desire/crave for that which we can't have but belongs to someone else like a super-duper cool shoe, electronic gadget etc. Be content with what you have.
Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.
Matthew 6:33
