Did God
give us the 10 suggestions — or the Ten Commandments?
It's a crucial question. Never has our world had such a critical
need for moral guidance and direction. Never have so many people
lost their moral bearings and desperately needed help.
Plenty of people think of these 10 principles as good suggestions.
They may even make some attempt to practice them, at least when
it’s convenient.
But how many people view these commands for what they are: our
Creator's blueprint for a peaceful and prosperous society? There's
much more to God’s commands than meets the eye. They are
not just God’s way of preventing us from enjoying a good
time. They're designed to protect us, our families, our communities.
They're a guide to transform the way we think, what we do and
how we live our lives.
Discover why they're the Ten
Commandments, not the 10 suggestions. |
