TEN COMMANDMENTS MESSAGE EQUALS LOVE

There has recently been a lot of media attention on the subject of the Bible's "10 Commandments" being posted on courtroom walls. No doubt there is much at stake over this issue. But as I read the Bible translation called, "The Message," I gained a whole new perspective on these 4,000-year-old mandates.

Romans 13:8b-10 in "The Message" reads, "When you love others, you complete what the law has been after all along...any other "don'ts" you can think of finally adds up to this: Love other people as well as you do yourself. You can't go wrong when you love others. When you add up everything in the law code (the 10 Commandments) the sum total is love."

As I pondered on this I began to see the positive in the 10 Commandments. Even though many of the commandments start with "Thou shalt not...," their main emphasis is helping us to treat others as we would like to be treated.

For example, commandment eight reads, "Thou shall not steal." No one that I know of enjoys watching their prized possessions being carted off by a pirate. So, if we don't enjoy others stealing from us, we should not steal from others.

Commandment seven says, "You shall not commit adultery." As a happily married man of 15 years, I would definitely NOT want to see my lovely wife taken advantage of. So, if your blood boils, as mine does, at that thought, then we should not be heading down that nauseating direction toward infidelity.

Commandment nine deals with lying, and no one likes to play the fool in believing a lie. Treating others as we would like to be treated means telling the truth! Need I say more?

The 10 Commandments give us a positive and proactive way of living a full and wholesome life, even though seemingly stated in the negative. To disregard them is a sure way of swiftly ending up in trouble, as well as alienating ourselves from God and others.

I don't know how the courtroom drama will conclude. Whether the 10 Commandments will be allowed upon the nation's walls of justice is still to be seen. But as for me, I want to ensure that God's Commands are continually etched upon the chambers of my heart.

Thought: When we break the 10 Commandments,
we're the ones who end up broken.

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are,God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

Bless This House

Bless this house O Lord we pray;
Make it safe by night and day;
Bless these walls so firm and stout,
Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall,
Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove
ever open to joy and love.


Bless these windows shining bright,
Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there,
with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within,
keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be
Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we
May dwell O Lord with thee.
