    There’s nothing more important in life than having the right God in the right place in our lives.

    Note: This sermon was introduced with a drama called "Idle Idols"). Can you feel the barbs of truth as we laugh? Funny, but painfully true of life in the end of the 20th century. Our culture is littered with false gods, whether they be entertainment idols or motor homes, sports memorabilia or ...read more

    Contributed by Elmer Towns on Nov 15, 2002
    based on 107 ratings
     | 8,578 views

    The hidden motive back of each commandment is worship. Since everything a Christian does should praise God, all of the Ten Commandments revolve around worshipping God.

The line crosses the deserts of North Africa, and is drawn on the sand at the foot of Mount Sinai. On one side is God and the blessings of Heaven. On the other side is Satan with all ...read more
