Eighth Commandment and Meaning – 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.

Thursday 12/2

Psalm 56:3-4 – When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.  In God, whose word I praise – in God I trust and am not afraid.
