Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
Prayer
Creator God, we acknowledge that You are the One who designed all creation according to Your will and purpose. All things were made for Your glory. Creation declares Your excellence and splendor with one accord. We ascribe to You the highest glory, honor and praise. Hallelujah to You. Amen.

Scripture Reading
Read aloud (together if applicable).
R-55 THE TEN COMMANDMENTS 十條誡
Exodus 20:1-2a, 3-4a, 7-8, 12-17; Mark 12:28-31 (NKJV)
And God spoke all these words, saying:
“I am the LORD your God...
“You shall have no other gods before Me.
“You shall not make for yourself a carved image—
“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.
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your God is giving you.
“You shall not murder.
“You shall not commit adultery.
“You shall not steal.
“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
“You shall not covet… anything that is your neighbor’s.”
Then one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, “Which is the first commandment of all?”
Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one. And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

Worship Through Prayer
Lord, I know that the sinful nature in me will continue to try to misuse Your creation. Help me to be careful to enjoy Your good and perfect gifts in the way they were meant to be. Help me not to be tempted to follow the ways of the world especially in matters of sex and intimacy.
Father, bless me with godly people in my life to whom I can be open and accountable to pursue a holy life. I had been set apart for You when I received the gift of salvation in Christ. I am holy unto You. My body is Your dwelling place. Help me to keep it pure and undefiled for You.
Lord, protect me and Your people from sexual sins. Many have sinned against You in such terrible way by taking what is Yours and using it in such shameful and disgusting acts. Sex is a beautiful gift for a man and his wife who have been joined by You to be one. Help me to stand against the misuse of it and uphold what is right.
Lord, please expose the sexual sins of my Christian brothers and sisters. Do not let them continue to get away with their sins. Bring them to repentance that they may turn back and be cleansed and made righteous unto You again. Do not let any member of the body of Christ be involved in sexual sins. Father, save Your wayward children. Amen.
