The Commandment We Forgot (Cruciform Quick)

We are all children, we ought to pursue God?s blessings, and we need to give prominence to God?s prominent command. For these reasons, we can no longer ignore the forgotten commandment.The fifth commandment is not just for children. Rather, it pertains to the whole of life and to every person of every age. In the home, the church, and the workplace, it provides a stable foundation for all of society. Yet we often neglect it and fail to appreciate its relevance to our lives. It is the commandment we forgot.This booklet is a brief exploration of the fifth commandment: ?Honor your father and your mother.? It answers important questions relevant to every Christian. This book will restore the centrality of the fifth commandment, even and especially to adults. Let?s look together to the Bible and, ultimately, to Jesus Christ as the perfect fulfillment of the commandment we forgot.--Tim ChalliesAbout the AuthorTim Challies is a Christian, a husband to Aileen, and a father to three children aged 9 to 15.
