At Mt. Sinai, God expresses His divine nature through the giving of the moral law. Love is the root of His law, with love for God as the basis of love for each other. The giving of the law is as much an act of grace and mercy as the deliverance from Egyptian slavery, for here God shows His redeemed how they shall live. The placement of these “tables of the covenant” (Deut 9:9-11) under the mercy seat indicates that they are the foundation of the covenant. Covenant involves relationship and communion. Real relationship and communion cannot occur between two individuals without a set of norms which define that relationship. The first four commandments define our relationship with God while the next six define our relationship with each other. The Sabbath is defined by God as the seventh day wherein we rest with Him and renew our understanding and worship of God as Creator. The Sabbath becomes the covenant sign between God and His people forever (Ex 31:16-17). The person who in the right spirit keeps the Sabbath as defined by God signifies that he or she stands in a saved relationship with God. Michael Hasel

Some couples use birth control to keep their family from growing. Some have even gone as far as seeking surgical sterilization in order to avoid having children. Did you know that some churches are unknowingly practicing spiritual birth control and are limiting the growth of God’s family? They are doing this by failing to focus on what God is capable of doing and by focusing on themselves Ellen White says that Christians should not “stand still in impotency, pointing to what they cannot do.” ChS 77 They have made a religion of all the things they cannot do and have forgotten that God has unlimited power to help them overcome. I don’t think this is talking about being focused on the things that scripture asks us not to do, although being focused exclusively on these things has never helped to grow the church. Rather, I think it means being focused on our inabilities, on our lack of skills, on our weaknesses and our fears. It is too easy to excuse ourselves from working for God and from spreading His message because we feel unqualified. The church becomes impotent while it waits for someone else to do the job. The solution for this is to forget about our inabilities and to place ourselves under God’s control, “knowing that His omnipotence will supply [our] need.” ChS 77 The more we allow ourselves to be led by His Spirit and dare to share His love, the more power we will have to increase God’s family.
