    Defending The 10 Commandments

    Contributed by Dave Kinney on Mar 4, 2005
    based on 55 ratings
     | 5,343 views

    Sadly Christianity has lost ground over the last 40 years! Why? The main reason…the 10 commandments have been aggressively attacked in America and reduced this country to a moronic and miniscule mindset of morals!

    “Defending The 10 Commandments” Exodus 20:1-17 Proverbs 4:7 “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. Notices that it says get “wisdom” and not “knowledge”. I believe that the application of knowledge by way of Biblical wisdom is paramount for the believer in today’s world! We live ...read more

    Jesus persistently reached out to unbelievers despite the dangers to Himself. His commitment to this cause and creativity doing so challenges us to do the same, especially around major Christian holidays.

    1. When you truly become a born again believer in Christ, several things become immediately apparent to you. a. You have had the great fortune of finding the way to heaven, Jesus Christ, and that it’s by faith in Him, not as works, as most people believe. b. You have been saved from an ...read more
