In this sermon, after three weeks away, Rev. Harris continues his sermon series on the Ten Requirements. Today’s requirement is “Do not commit adultery.” Rev. Harris suggests that the meaning of this requirement meant something very different when it was written. It was related to men protecting exclusive sexual access to their property. That is a concept that is truly irredeemable. If we are going to find meaning in the complicated world of modern day relationships we need to reset this requirement in new words. Rev. Harris suggests “Honor intimate commitments,” and reflects on what it means to do that and what it means when we fail to do that.
