An unethical businessman announced to Mark Twain, “Before I die I mean to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. I will climb Mount Sinai and read the Ten Commandments aloud at the top.”

Twain replied, “I have a better idea. You could stay home in Boston and keep them.”

It is one thing for Christians to argue for the public display of the Ten Commandments. It is another to actually do the Ten Commandments. Worship only the Creator God, don’t use images in worship, don’t use God’s name profanely, remember the Sabbath day, honor your parents, don’t murder, don’t commit adultery, don’t steal, don’t lie and don’t covet other people’s possessions.

Write down the Ten Commandments and teach them to your children. What our society needs is fewer people giving lip service to the Ten Commandments and more people keeping them.
