5th Commandment (Part 1)

Ten CommandmentsSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg delves into the fifth commandment in Exodus 20:12, which instructs individuals to honor their father and mother. He emphasizes the importance of obeying and respecting one's parents, as it not only leads to a longer life, but also serves as a crucial step in learning submission to God. Gregg emphasizes that even though a child's parents may not always give godly advice, it is still important to honor and obey them. He also provides examples from the Bible where individuals exhibited exceptional obedience and honor towards their parents.
