The Small Catechism

As we hear God speak to us through His commandments, we will read the Small Catechism's definition of each commandment to help us better understand what God is calling us to.

The Fourth Commandment

Honor your father and your mother.

What does this mean?

We should fear and love God so that we do not despise or anger our parents and other authorities, but honor them, serve and obey them, love and cherish them.
