Special thanks to Beth Chow for bringing back this treasured resource—a poetic rendering of the Ten Commandments written by former HFBC pastor, Brother John R. Bisagno. Originally shared with members years ago, this creative piece continues to speak with clarity and conviction. As we near the end of our study on Exodus 20:3–17, it’s a timely reminder that God’s truth endures—and His commands are as relevant today as ever. Thank you, Beth, for helping us rediscover this meaningful legacy!
CAUTION! That TEXT Wasn’t From Us
This week, some class members received a group text using the name Biblical Foundations with a cross as its profile image. At first glance, it seemed like it could be connected to our Foundations Life Bible Study at Houston’s First Baptist Church — but it wasn’t.
We don’t own the name “Biblical Foundations,” so we can’t prevent others from using it. But we want to be clear: that message didn’t come from our class or leadership team. It’s a reminder of how easily someone can imitate a trusted source and mislead others — and it ties directly into this month’s study of the Ten Commandments. Exodus 20:16 warns us not to bear false witness.
When someone misrepresents who they are or implies they speak for someone they don’t — that’s exactly what happens. In a world full of “fake news,” even something as small as a misleading group text can be a real-world example of this sin.
When in doubt, confirm it’s from us. All official class communication will come from known leaders and trusted methods. If you’re unsure — just ask!
Let’s be people of truth in all things — both in what we say and in what we forward.

Truth on Trial: Why Your Witness Matters - Lesson Recap:
Sunday May 4th, Reagan Brunelle delivered a compelling lesson to the Foundations Class on the Ninth Commandment—“You shall not bear false witness.” In a world flooded with misinformation and half-truths, Reagan challenged us to see truth-telling as more than avoiding lies—it’s about reflecting the very nature of God. Drawing from ancient Israel’s justice system, the false testimony against Jesus, and the call for believers to be faithful witnesses, Reagan reminded us that even subtle dishonesty can erode trust and distort the gospel we claim to represent.
Don’t miss this powerful and timely message. Watch the full video above and reflect on how your daily witness aligns with the truth of Christ.
When Enough Is Enough: Confronting the Heart of Coveting
This Sunday, May 11th, Bill Wright will guide us through the final commandment in our study of Exodus 20: “You shall not covet.” More than just desiring what others have, coveting is a heart issue that fuels discontent, comparison, and quiet resentment. Bill will help us unpack how this hidden sin can rob us of joy, damage relationships, and distance us from trusting God’s provision.
Come ready to examine the desires of your heart and be encouraged by the hope that contentment in Christ truly brings. Don’t miss this powerful lesson in our Ten Commandments study!
See you Tomorrow!
You are invited to join us, either in person @ HFBC's Rehearsal Hall on the 2nd Floor over the Foyer or via Live Stream (details below):
