The Ten Commandments: The Soul Of America!

And God spoke all these words, "I am the Lord your God Who brought you out of Egypt. Out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before Me." The laws that God gave to Moses thousands of years ago at Mount Sinai seems to have been forgotten today. The same laws our founding fathers followed have the power to change the heart of America.

Exodus chapter 20 is where we will be going today, as we delve into the subject of the Ten Commandments.

Why a sermon on the Ten Commandments? Because only five percent of Americans can name two of these commandments. David said, "Thy word have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against God." Hidden in my heart means he memorized them. The word that you will use in life is the word that you truly know.

Knowing about the Ten Commandments and knowing the Ten Commandments are two different things. Why sermon on the Ten Commandments? Because the Ten Commandments hold the secret to America's survival as the land of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The bible says, "All nations that forget God are turned into hell." America is forgetting the God of the bible. let's read together the Ten Commandments.

First commandment, "Thou shall have no other gods before Me."

The second, "Thou shall not make unto you any graven image."

The third, "Thou shall not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain."

Four, "Remember the Sabbath Day and keep it holy."

Five, "Honor thy father and thy mother."

Six, "Thou shall not kill."

Seven, "Thou shall not commit adultery."

Eight, "Thou shall not steal."

Nine, "Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

Ten, "Thou shall not covet."

Exodus 20:1 says, "And God spoke all these words saying I am the Lord your God Who brought you out of Egypt and out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me." What would happen if America obeyed all of the Ten Commandments? Our schools would be teaching the Ten Commandments,

not throwing them out the back door. There wouldn't be a critical race theory being taught. There would be no transgender sex being taught. If the Ten Commandments were in the schools, there would not be condoms in the restrooms. There wouldn't be crime in the street, for you shall not steal. There would be no murder. You shall not commit murder. There would be no abortions, because I assure you in God's opinion abortion is murder!

Proverbs 6:16-17 says, "These six things the Lord hates, yes, seven are an abomination to Him: a proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood," There is no more innocent blood than the blood of a baby in the womb of its mother. If America obeyed the Ten Commandments, there would be no corrupt politicians because no one would be lying or bearing false witness. That would put about half of them out of business right there!

America is sick and tired of corruption in our congress! We deserve better than that! The Ten Commandments demands a society built on a work ethic. Can you imagine that? It says, "Six days you shall work." Listen to me, you have no right to expect anything until you work for it! That's God's Word! On the Lord's Day, every able-bodied person would be in church. If we honored the Ten Commandments, the only god recognized by our government would be the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. No other gods!

The Ten Commandments are not ten recommendations. They are ten commandments to be obeyed. The ten commandments are a rebuke to philosophers, to liberal college professors, to pseudo-intellectuals who say, "The right to determine what is right and what is wrong is up to the individual." Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!!! The ten commandments are binding! They are absolute! What part of, "Thou shall not", do you not understand? It's not a recommendation! It IS a commandment by God Almighty! Do it! Or pay the price!

It's simply that if we kept the Ten Commandments, America would be transformed overnight! Our massive national problems of crime, murder in the streets, policemen being executed, cities being burned down by anarchists, sex trafficking, terrorists being smuggled into America across our borders right now! Do you know that one hundred thousand young Americans died last year from drugs that were that were brought into this country from a foreign country? And it is a lethal kind of drug that is destroying this nation! It is a weapon of mass destruction, yet it is allowed to come across the borders of this nation! We call upon the President of the United States to fulfill his presidential commission to protect and defend the people of the United States of America!
