Honour your parents! (Exodus 20v12, 5th commandment)

Find out who said: “Youth today love luxury.  They have bad manners, contempt for authority, no respect for older people, and talk nonsense when they should work.  Young people do not stand up any longer when adults enter the room. They contradict their parents, talk too much in company, guzzle their food, lay their legs on the table, and tyrannize their elders.” And when they said it! You might be in for a surprise.

Have a break, have a Sabbath! (4th Commandment) Exodus 20:8-11

In 1924 Eric Liddell, the flying Scotsman, was set to win Olympic gold in the 100m, but he refused to run because the heats were being run on a Sunday. He was a Christian and for him Sunday was the Lord's Day - a day of rest and worship.  Was he right to refuse to run? What does it mean to "remember the Sabbath and keep it holy"? Does this still apply to Christians?
