A way to live:
Do seek to be loving in all personal relationships. Do seek to just in all social and public issues. It’s good to have some clear, overall values to live by. While the core values of love and justice are offered to us, we have to choose to make them our own.
[A way to live Exodus 20:1-17 from the Revised Common Lectionary for 3/8/15; The Third Sunday in Lent; God gives the Ten Commandments.]
