How to Find True Rest: The Third Commandment
Worship Service: Sermon only - October 01, 2006
"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy." (Exo. 20:8) When the Lord was on earth, He clearly taught that the natural, external interpretation of the commandment to rest on the sabbath day was incapable of truly reflecting the Lord's will. When the Children of Israel killed a man for gathering sticks on the day of rest, they were thinking strictly literally. But spiritually, this commandment is not talking about the efforts we make to feed ourselves, care for our families, have fun, or mow the lawn. The Lord is teaching us to keep the Lord's salvation before us at all times. Spiritually, it's not us that does the work, but the Lord -- just like the six days of creation. The six days of labor that are referred to are the spiritual struggles that the Lord went through while in the world to fight against the hells, to reorder the spiritual world, and to unite His Divine to His Human. When that process was completed, there was rest, there was a new peace because the Human had become Divine. The Lord uses a similar process in our lives. He has already reduced the hells to order, but we must undergo our own spiritual struggles as if they are our own. But even then, it is the Lord who does all the real struggling, who does the real work. Our job is to remember that it is the Lord who does this work for us. Remembering the sabbath means to worship the Lord, Jesus Christ with our whole lives, not just on Sunday mornings. To understand this, read Exodus 20:8-11, Matthew 12:1-14, and Arcana Caelestia 10360, then listen to the full audio of this third Rise Above It sermon. | By Rev. R. Amos Glenn | Pittsburgh, PA

Take the Name of the Lord - Just Not in Vain: The Second Commandment
Worship Service: Sermon only - September 24, 2006
Rise Above It with the Pittsburgh New Church: The Second Commandment "'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.'" (Exodus 20:7) Unlike our culture's ability to uphold the natural and external meaning of the first commandment, using the Lord's names unthinkingly and disrespectfully is everywhere around us. This influence makes it more difficult to teach our own children the importance of this commandment. But following the commandments naturally and externally is the first step in following them internally and spiritually; unless we are conscious of and thinking about the Lord in our lives, we cannot begin to behave in ways that are genuine worship of the Lord. And that is the goal of this commandment. It is vital that we use and understand the names of the Lord because it is an important way that the Lord becomes Human to us. Everyone has a name that is used to talk with them, and it is no different with the Lord. Taking His name, in the most internal meaning, is to acknowledge that the Lord is Human and that everything comes from Him, that He is a person we can talk with and relate to through His Word. Blaspheming the Lord's name, His Word or holy things cannot be forgiven, not because the Lord is especially angry, but because disregarding these things removes the only means by which we can learn of and accept the Lord's forgiveness. When we take the name of the Lord in vain, whether externally or internally, we are destroying the connection between the Lord and ourselves and making genuine worship impossible. To see that this is true, read Exodus 20:7; Matthew 12:31-32; and True Christian Religion 299. | By Rev. R. Amos Glenn | Pittsburgh, PA

How to Call Upon the Name of the Lord: The Second Commandment
Worship Service: Sermon only - September 24, 2006
Rise Above It: The Second Commandment "'You shall not take the name of Jehovah your God in vain, for Jehovah will not hold a person guiltless who takes His name in vain.'" (Exodus 20:7) The Lord wants you to pray. Why? Because in life there are evil things that get a grip on your heart and mind that you are powerless to break free from. In the Ten Commandments, the Lord tells us not to worship false gods, and not to take His name in vain. In simplest terms, this means we should only worship the One True God, and that we should not make light of His names. Looked at more deeply, the Lord is also telling us here—for our own good—that we must avoid creating false gods out of things of this world and out of the desires of our own hearts. When we put material things or selfish things first in our lives, ahead of the Lord, we become enslaved by them. The good news is that the Lord is waiting for us to ask for help, and lovingly and freely gives it to us when we do. A person's name stands for their qualities, and the Lord's qualities are infinite where ours are limited. We have no strength against our own false gods, but if we pray to the Lord and ask Him to lend us His strengths, He will give them freely so we can return to obeying His commandments. Refuse this gift, and You take His name in vain. To accept it, all you have to do is call to Him by name. Pray every day, and it will change your life. To see that this is true, read Exodus 20:1-7; Matthew 7:21-23; and True Christian Religion 300. Full text available at http://TheoBlog.com/ | By Rev. Glenn (Mac) Frazier | Cleveland, OH
