On Sunday, July 6th, 2025, Mark Glanville (speaker and Director of the Centre for Missional Leadership, St Andrews Hall, UBC) spoke on “The 10 Commandments—God’s Economics” based on Exodus 20. People today like to think of the 10 Commandments individually (i.e. I don't kill, steal, or commit adultery, therefore I'm a good person). Yet, if we look at the context behind the laws, we can see that these laws were made to build a community. Specifically, it was a law for ex-slaves, who were exploited by the Egyptians for the sake of economic expansion. Even in our time, economic growth often comes at the cost of human lives and livelihood. The 10 Commandments were more than just rules; it was a way to ensure that the Israelites would never be slaves again. [JL]
