Ten Commandments

1. "You shall have no other gods before me.
   
2. "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand {generations} of those who love me and keep my commandments.
   
3. "You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
   
4. "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
   
5. "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.
   
6. "You shall not murder.
   
7. "You shall not commit adultery.
   
8. "You shall not steal.
   
9. "You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
   
10. "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."

It's important never to forget them. Our country was founded on these principles and stands strongly because of them. They are our foundation. Unfortunately, there is a movement to rewrite history and banish the ten commandments from our memory. The problem with that is, without our foundation, we will fall.

How I pity the world for their quest to rationalize. The path to fornication as a norm, homosexual acceptance, drunkenness, greed, backstabbing, and rejection of God will only lead to disappointment and entropy. A society is not better for it's acceptance of all things detestable. We will fall, as every nation in history has. It will continue in this cycle: morality will rise and the good that it brings will eventually fall again. It is unfortunate however, that we reside in the time of the fall.

It is the Christian responsibility to reverse this deterioration. We are the salt of the earth, but we, I think, is becoming very small. It is assumed that the Christians are the largest and greatest in this world, but I think that many take the name, some go to the churches, and few actually have a relationship with Jesus Christ.

I can't help but feel very sad for the direction we're taking. Many of you are guilty of the same compromise. It's a shame to be so able to make a difference and yet do so little. We're so SELF absorbed and "accepting" that there's no time for God or His work.
