Celebrate & Support Ten Commandments Day
As we stand for marriage restoration in a society that no longer recognizes and respects the sanctity of marriage or the Ten Commandments, we have great reason to celebrate and support today as the first Ten Commandments Day! We of all people, have personally witnessed and experienced the heartbreaking decay of our society as it retreats from adhering to the moral code established by God in His word and the Ten Commandments. Not only do we see the decay of our culture in terms of corruption, lawlessness and the total lack of moral standards, where evil is called good and good is called evil, but we experience it in our homes, our churches and in the counsel of our family and friends. We know all about it when we helplessly try to comfort our children as they cry night after night for their father to come home. We know all about it when they cry out for attention by getting into trouble, and we have to meet with school officials or visit them in rehab or detention centers. We know all about it when our pastors encourage us not to stand for our marriages and tell us that God is a God of second chances and that He can’t change our husbands. We certainly know ALL about it when our husbands live openly in adulterous relationships and hold leadership roles in their churches, even as pastors or the children of pastors! We know all about it when our mother-in-laws support their son’s adulterous relationships instead of taking a stand in the best interest of their own grandchildren. And we know all about it when we feel terribly isolated because our family and friends have grown impatient or angry with us for standing for our marriages.
As Christ’s representatives and ambassadors, we need to take another stand for restoration, and that’s standing to restore His righteousness and authority in our lives and the society and culture we live in, so I encourage everyone to learn more about this movement by visiting www.TenCommandmentsDay.com.
According to Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice, an advocacy organization fighting to protect and promote our rights as Christians, we have reason to be encouraged by the recent rulings of federal appeals courts upholding the constitutionality of public displays with the Ten Commandments. This is especially important in light of conflicting rulings by the Supreme Court last year, which you can read about at the above link. So this is a critical time in our country for Christians to unite behind efforts to restore Christian values in our society and in our courts. As Christians, we sat idly by and allowed prayer to be taken out of our schools in 1963 for which our country has paid a dear price, so it’s way beyond time for us to start fighting back by taking a stand against the civil libertarian forces at work to remove any reference to God and the Ten Commandments from our society. We have a long way to go to take back the ground we gave up in this country over the past few decades, but we HAVE to start somewhere and this is a very good place to begin.
