God's Ten Commandments
Display the Ten Commandments Posted: 02-20-2006 20:58 Eastern Time God's Laws are simple and common sense Laws. They are not a burden. As God's creatures, we are obliged to follow them. What could be wrong with a commandment to tell the truth (8th Commandment)? In this day and age where there is so much dishonesty, people tend to question whether someone is necessarily telling the truth. What about a commandment to avoid stealing? We have secular laws banning theft. What about a commandment against jealousy? Or a commandment about respecting all human life from conception to natural death? What's wrong with that? As the universe continues to exist solely by the grace of God, is it too much to ask that each of us avoids worshipping false gods and avoids using God's Holy Name in vain? Some groups have gone to court requesting that the Ten Commandments be removed from government property. Usually, these groups win. We have all heard the expression "Out of sight, out of mind." This is what happens when the Ten Commandments are removed. In order to remedy this problem of forgetting the Ten Commandments, Turn Toward God, Inc. encourages private web site owners to display the Ten Commandments on their homepages. Better yet, display them on every web page within your site. Don't let the Ten Commandments be forgotten. It is understandable that prominently displaying the Ten Commandments might take up valuable "real estate" on any given web page. However, God has made the ultimate sacrifice for us --- being crucified on a cross. The least we can do is promote His Holy Laws. If you absolutely cannot fit the full Ten Commandments on your web site, please consider linking to another site which displays the Ten Commandments. By the way, this is not a request for a link to the Turn Toward God web site. This is simply a request for you to link to any site which properly displays the Ten Commandments in a respectful manner. The intent is to promote God's Ten Commandments with this initiative, not this organization. Credit for this idea goes to Project Moses. Project Moses is a non-profit organization devoted to restoring respect for the God's Ten Commandments. It raises funds by selling smaller monuments and plaques of God's Ten Commandments. Turn Toward God is not affiliated with Project Moses. At the time of this writing, Project Moses is unaware of this link or the above statements. This is simply to give credit for the idea.
