Here is wishing that all had a very blessed Ten Commandments Weekend spiritual focus.
BTW - I have noticed that Sproul, D.J Kennedy, Swindoll, Stanley etc all have very positive things to say about God's Ten Commandments.
(And of course I have quoted D.L Moody's strong support for God's Ten Commandments on this board so many times - I am hesitant to do it again)
In Mark 7 we find Christ referring to them as "The Word of God"
Mark 7
6 And He said to them, ""Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: " THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS[/b], BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME.
7 " BUT [b]IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.'
8 ""Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men.''[/b]
9 He was also saying to them, ""You are experts at setting aside the commandment of Godin order to keep your tradition.[/b]
10 ""For Moses said, " HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER[/b]'; and, " HE WHO SPEAKS EVIL OF FATHER OR MOTHER, IS TO BE PUT TO DEATH';
11 but you say, "If a man says to his father or his mother, whatever I have that would help you is Corban (that is to say, given to God),'
12 you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or his mother;
13 thus invalidating the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that.''
In Romans 3 we see the fact that NT saints affirm them -
Rom 3
31 Do we then nullify the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law.
So the question for the group is - did you have any special focus on this topic this weekend at your church?
In Christ,
Bob
