The Ten Commandments


            The Ten Commandments and the World in 2002.
             Here we are 2000 years since the time of Christ and it is evident why Jesus warned us not to be like the world. Through Paul we are commanded "And be not conformed to this world: but be .
             ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." (Romans 12:2).
             When we see where the world stands with regard to the Ten Commandments today, we .
             shouldn't be surprised. The world system is run by the prince of this world, the devil, and it seems that system is getting stronger and the world further and further away from God's Law. In Romans, we are told that the ungodly and unrighteous are without excuse and that those who don't have .
             the law are a law unto themselves.
             As I read D.L. Moody's book, I couldn't help but be amazed at how many of his examples paled in comparison to the world today. Sadly, I've become so accustomed to the way things are that many of his examples didn't even phase me. I kept thinking, "Boy, if he could only see how things are now!" I"m continually reminded by the word of our LORD, "And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold." (Matthew 24:12) It's so easy to become complacent about the way things are today. The world is downspiraling to the point where what was so rotten yesterday, has already been replaced by something much worse today, making yesterday's corruption seem almost innocent. Once in a while I"ll catch a sitcom on TV. It's terrible; homosexuality is considered more than acceptable, a child out of wedlock is considered a blessing and the mother a hero. When I watch a sitcom from my childhood, like "MASH", I think, "How innocent things were back then." Yet they weren't! In "MASH" there was adultery, men dressing in women's clothing, drunkenness - and that seems innocent?!!.
