"The Ten Commandments"


Read Exodus 20:1-18

God wrote the 10 commandments, which you can read about in Exodus 20:1-18. They are meant to be a guide for people to know and determine the difference between right and wrong. They protect us from impurity, falsehoods, murder, idolatry, theft, and many other things that rob us of our joy and peace.

God's law is like a mirror, pointing out wrong doing as a mirror points out a dirty face. There is hope for this mixed up world that we live in today. I understand that we don't live under the law of 10 commandments, due to the grace of God. However, does that really give us a reason to just cast them aside? When we ignore them, the result always ends badly.

I am tired of hearing Christians complain about our government removing the 10 commandments from public places. The one place you would expect to find a copy of the 10 commandments is usually the last place you find them - the church house! Churches all across our country removed them before the government even thought about. Next time you're in your church, look for a copy of the 10 commandments. If you can't find one ask your pastor if you can put one in.
