Biblical illiteracy will continue to soar and our impact on the culture will be minimal. This ought to be a powerful motivation to renew our understanding of and appreciation for the bountiful treasure of the Ten Commandments. In ancient Israel the Ten Words were direct evidence of God s relationship with his people and communicated that his ways were higher than the ways of the surrounding nations. They stood as his revealed will for moral conduct and the way life should be lived. They are ten steps to liberty.
Christians are prone to blame others for America s cultural erosion.
We often point fingers at liberal politicians, secular humanists, New Age gurus, and media elites. The Ten Commandments reveal to us what God wants to be known and that he wants to keep his people free. He is the loving God of relationships who desires that we know him and make him known. To accomplish his purposes we must be healthy. With God s Ten Liberating Treasures dwelling richly in our hearts, truth will revive us, love and holiness will be our guiding lights, and the soul of the church will shine brightly in a postmodern world.
