1 Thessalonians
5:16-18
The Ten Offenses The Ten Commandments were given to protect and bless. From 1607, they were regarded as the foundational pillars of the civic and religious life of our nation. Since 1947, an out-of-control judiciary has decreed an ongoing vendetta against our religious heritage. In 1980, the Supreme Court forbade public schools to expose school children to the commandments that we Americans knew were vital to their education. “You shall not murder” “You shall not steal” “You shall not give false testimony” “Honor your father and your mother.” How did the Ten Commandments become the Ten Offenses? We need to pray!
