Catechesis #32 - The 10 Commandments: The 9th Commandment - Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness Against They Neighbor
<p>Welcome back! After a busy Holy Week and Easter season at the parish, we are back behind the microphone to continue our deep dive into the Decalogue. In this episode, we tackle the <strong>Ninth Commandment</strong>: "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor."</p><p>While often overshadowed by what many consider "the big sins," we discuss why the sins of the tongue, such as gossip, slander, and backbiting, are often more destructive to parish life than almost anything else. We explore why the Lord considers sowing discord among the brethren to be such a grave matter, using the 1928 Book of Common Prayer and the Offices of Instruction as our guide.</p><ul><li><p><strong>Exodus 20:16</strong> – The Commandment.</p></li><li><p><strong>Numbers 12:1–13</strong>—The complaint of Miriam and Aaron.</p></li><li><p><strong>Proverbs 6:16–19</strong> – The seven things that the Lord hates.</p></li><li><p><strong>Philippians 4:4–9</strong> – Meditating on what is true and noble.</p></li><li><p><strong>Ephesians 5:15–21</strong> – Walking circumspectly and redeeming the time.</p></li></ul><p><strong>Next Week:</strong> We hope you will join us for our final episode before our summer break as we conclude our series on the Ten Commandments.</p><p><strong>Have a question or comment?</strong> Reach out to us at <strong>podcast@stphilipsblacksburg.org</strong> or <strong>podcast@anglicanprovince.org</strong>.</p>

Catechesis #31 - The 10 Commandments: The 8th Commandment - Thou Shalt Not Steal
<p>In this episode, we discuss the 8th Commandment: Thou shalt not steal. Stealing is not just taking what belongs to another; it is also withholding what is due to our neighbor. We look at the book of Amos and the judgment against those who tread down the poor. Jesus warns us against hoarding goods for ourselves, as the rich man did with his barns. St. Paul tells us to work with our hands so that we have something to give to those in need. We also talk about tithes, alms, and the duty to be cheerful givers.</p>
