Pastor Randy Norris continues his powerful and insightful series on the 10 Commandments that he calls “First and Ten.” As the first 4 commandments focus on our relationship with God, this 5th command and those remaining deal with our relationship with other people. To live a longer life on this earth, God says we must honor our father and mother.
