Last week, we looked at the ninth commandment – and I've generally been preaching just one sermon per commandment in this section, but I came away from last Sunday with the sense that all I had done was lay a foundation.
We talked about the importance of thinking charitably of others – we saw the need for speaking truth in love – but I felt as though we missed a couple of key points – points that are especially important in our day.
In one sense, every generation faces the same basic issues. But every generation has to think through these issues specifically.
It's why I love the Larger Catechism's approach to the ninth commandment. In one sense it says everything that needs to be said – but today I would like to think about how to apply it to our own day.
And so today we will consider two questions arising from the Catechism:
