(Just examples)
Give an example of how we can commit idolatry. Also, give the commandment
-It could be by choosing to sin instead of obeying God. It's idolatry because you're having "another god before you." You're placing something in front of God. Exodus 20 (The first commandment)
Read one of the Ten Commandments and please explain how (one or more ways) we can apply this into our life.
-"You shall have no other gods before me"
-We can apply this by putting God first in everything (career, school, daily choices that matter, how we interact with others, etc)
What are some things God would want us to do? These could be acts of service or charity, things we say or do, etc.
-Giving to the poor, being merciful instead of wrathful
-Being compassionate and saying kind things
-Be generous, not greedy.
Pick 1 of the Ten Commandments and explain a way we can follow it or break it.
-One could be "You shall not murder". A way we can follow it is by not hating a person; a way we could break it is by hating a person.
