The First Commandment
The First Commandment
The First Commandment:
You shall have no other gods.
What does this mean?
We should fear, love, and trust in God above all things.
Dear Grandpa,
Mckenna is my very best friend. I think you met her when you and Grandma were here in July. We talk about everything—even God. Although Mckenna doesn’t believe there is a God. That’s the way she’s been raised. Even though Mckenna isn’t religious, she’s still my best friend. She has high morals—unlike most of the kids in my school. So will God send Mckenna to hell because she’s not a believer? That would be so unfair.
I love you,
Denali
