They're Not the Ten Suggestions
May 7 is Ten Commandments Day in the United States. But in
reality, God
intends that every day should be Ten Commandments Day. After
all, the Ten
Commandments are His instructions for a safe, secure, free
and fulfilling life and
a blueprint for a peaceful and prosperous society.
How much do you know about the Ten Commandments? Sadly, most
people know
little about them at all. Few people can name more than three
or four of them.
Don't you think it's about time you learned
what the Ten Commandments are all about?
Those who take the time to study them find
they're not a list of "Thou shalt nots," but
are in fact God's guide to the good life.
That's why the Bible calls them "the
royal law" and "the law of liberty."
There's much more to these commands
than meets the eye. They're not just
God's way of preventing us from having
a good time. They're designed to protect
us, our families and our communities.
They're a guide to transforming
the way we think, what we do and how
we live.
 We've
prepared a free, eye-opening booklet that we'd love to share
with you. Just contact
us at our office in your country (or
the office nearest you) or request or download it
from our Web site at www.gnmagazine.org/booklets.
Discover for yourself why they're the Ten Commandments,
not the Ten Suggestions. |
