The Laws of God

With all that praise of the Laws of God let's take a look at God's Laws and decide where we stand. Will you find that you love them and desire to keep them? Will you find that you fall short and need a Saviour. Will you find that you are self righteous and can make it alone? Or will some of you find that these laws do not pertian to you? Will you find that they are not for your "modern life style" or were made to be changed or broken? Let's begin simply with the Commandments of God.
Ex.20:1-17, Dt.5:6-20
And God spoke 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. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments. You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses His name. Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, or your animals, nor the alien within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but He rested on the seventh day. Therefore, the Lord blessed the sabboth day and made it holy. Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor. You shall not covet you neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor.

The reason I made the second commandment stand out is because people who call themselves Christian misuse Gods name so often there is no way they hold it in reverence anymore than an unbeliever would. Satan has really gotten a foothold there, and what a great place for him to gain control. Lose respect for someone and the next thing you know you no longer care anything for them either!
