Speaks at Ten Commandments Rally in Atlanta Press Release September 29, 2003 Atlanta- A large gathering of supporters clapped and cheered as Herman Cain, conservative, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, spoke at today's press conference in support of posting the Ten Commandments in public buildings. “The Ten Commandments are the basic principles upon which our forefathers founded this country,” Cain said. “If a community of United States citizens, does not have the right to display their values then what rights do they have? “One of the questions that I have for all of these people who appear to be outraged...

Today we see an age of anomie—lawlessness. The laws of God are being ignored and His commandments jettisoned. Indeed, it is a lawless age in which we live—reminiscent of what Jesus said in parable about what would come when He went off to a far country. The citizens would hate Him, and they would cry out, “We will not have this man to reign over us” (Luke 19:14). The great question before the nations is: Will men and nations submit to having Jesus Christ, the Divine Creator of the world reign over them? God’s purpose in this world is to...

Ten Commandments to return to Giles County schools [with poll] By Katelyn Polantz 381-1669 PEARISBURG -- The Ten Commandments will return to the walls of Giles County schools, after a school board majority vowed Tuesday to dig in for what could be a long and costly court battle. The board voted 3-2 Tuesday afternoon to rehang the Commandments among a display of nine other historical documents. About 50 people stayed silent while the board began its meeting. Many of the attendees have prayed and pressed for this outcome since the district first removed the documents from school halls in December...

The Supreme Court has passed up a chance to take another look at a six-year-old ruling that struck down the display of the Ten Commandments in two Kentucky courthouses. . . . But the court declined to do so Tuesday,

Can an atheist further the kingdom of God?  Can God take sin and use it for his glory? Genesis 50:20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.Acts 2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye...

Many of us are accustomed to seeing those “ten commandments” of this and that which show up in sundry places, and are applied to all sorts of human endeavors. From closing real estate deals to bagging a trophy elk, we like to mimic the Decalogue. So some may have been lured into this column hoping to find a “commandment three” which prohibits the practice of leaving dirty socks draped over the back of the living room couch – sort of like a masculine doily – or “commandment seven” which requires a weekly date. But this is not about the ten...

The Supreme Court has declined to get involved in a new dispute over a Ten Commandments display on public property.The justices on Monday left in place a lower court decision that a Ten Commandments marker in Haskell County, Okla., must go.

PHOENIX — Saying the minority must be tolerant of the majority, Republicans who control on the Senate Appropriations Committee voted Tuesday to require a copy of the Ten Commandments to be erected in front of the old state Capitol. SB 1213 directs the Legislative Council, the main occupant of the building, to look for donations to put up a monument, plaque or some other permanent form of the commandments. The measure now goes to the full Senate. The 53 vote came over the objections of the Democrats on the panel who said it amounted to the state imposing what are...

Today more than ever, people have a hazy and fuzzy (distorted) view of who the Savior of the World, God’s Son Jesus Christ, really is. Various opinions regarding Jesus may have been formed from a religious upbringing or education, personal experiences, etc. Whenever you ask someone who Jesus is, He will usually sound a lot like the person who is describing Him to you. They say, “He was a great teacher,” or “He was a Good Man,” or “He died on the cross,” etc. You see, even in Jesus day there were many who were confused and troubled about who...

Montgomery, Ala. (AP) -- Alabama's Ten Commandments judge is running for governor again. Roy Moore's campaign Web site went up Monday morning, inviting supporters to sign a pledge to help elect Moore governor.

America the beautiful, or so you used to be. Land of the Pilgrims' pride; I'm glad they'll never see. babies piled in dumpsters, Abortion on demand, Oh, sweet land of liberty; your house is on the sand. Our children wander aimlessly poisoned by cocaine choosing to indulge their lusts, when God has said abstain From sea to shining sea, our Nation turns away From the teaching of God's love and a need to always pray We've kept God in our temples,how callous we have grown. When earth is but His footstool, and Heaven is His throne. We've voted in a...

A majority of Americans believe religious displays, prayers at school and the Ten Commandments display in a court building should be legal in the United States, a new study showed.  While religious Americans were more likely to agree, a majority of those who are not religious also believe such religious expressions and practices should be allowed, according to Ellison Research which conducted the research on a sample of 1,007 adults. The study was released Thursday.Survey results revealed that 98 percent of born-again Americans compared to 81 percent of those not born again believe voluntary student-led prayer at public school events,...

One set of judicial decisions created the foundation and framework for humane society. Another set, much more recent, has negated much of the first and laid out a program that has the appearance of George Orwell's "1984." One set was composed of ten directives, formulated by the Creator and Judge of the universe, and intended to promote healthy, considerate and moral relationships between people, and between human beings and their God. The other set of 10 judicial decisions is designed to stifle free expression, erase any standards of moral behavior and absolutely forbid any public acknowledgement of the very...

Liberals love to boast that they are not "religious," which is what one would expect to hear from the state-sanctioned religion. – Ann CoulterThis day, America and the world are in a dire cultural, political and spiritual crisis. The very existence of civilization as we know it seems to hang in the balance. Will America be what intellectual Bill Bennett calls "the [world's] last best hope," or will America (and the West) go the way of Holland, which in January of this year erected a monument in Amsterdam? The monument was not to Rembrandt, not to Grotius, not to...

I hate to sound like some religious nut job here—but I really felt (sort of) for certain that God gave me, and me alone, the 10 Commandments for Husbands, last Wednesday while I was watching American Idol. “God inspired you to write this?” you say. Yep, God did. The way I’m almost certain it was maybe God speaking to me is that every time He speaks to me about something (and it’s pretty often), I begin to smell WD40, packing popcorn begins to fall from the ceiling of my trailer house, and then a voice begins speaking to me in...

Most Americans think culture is becoming more immoral, and they view the media -- both entertainment and news -- as prime culprits, according to a new survey.     If the media continue to "singularly promote" secular values while undermining orthodox faith and values, it will be very difficult to reverse America's moral decline, said the National Cultural Values Survey, released yesterday by the Culture and Media Institute (CMI) of the Media Research Center.     "Americans who care about the nation's moral condition should insist that the media strive to more fairly represent all views, including those of the orthodox," the report stated....

Forget robots. We need an ethical code for humans George Jonas, National Post Published: Saturday, March 10, 2007 I'm reading in the news that the South Koreans are thinking of setting up a code of conduct for robots. Hmm. Would you call it high time? A big priority, is it? Well, if you say so. Maybe those pesky robots have been getting out of hand. OK, slap them with a code of conduct. Then, perhaps, after we've dealt with them, we might consider a code of conduct for humans? Ah! I get it. When they say "robots," the South...

The stone tablet on the U.S. Supreme Court's East Frieze until 1975 was described as representing the "Ten Commandments." Since then it's been changed to the "Ten Amendments" based on an unsigned letter that conflicts with other evidence It's looking a lot like a cover-up at the U.S. Supreme Court, where officials appear to be suppressing evidence of representations of the nation's Christian heritage at the court building, according to a pastor whose research is published at lacconline.org and gives evidence of that heritage. "I'm not a conspirator," Todd DuBord, senior pastor of the Lake Almanor Community Church, wrote...

CROSS CITY, Fla. -- The American Civil Liberties Union is suing to force rural Dixie County to remove a hulking Ten Commandments monument from the courthouse steps. The 5-foot-tall, 6-ton black granite monument stands in front of a building for the courthouse, the elections supervisor office, the tax collector and other public offices. The lawsuit filed in federal court Tuesday said the monument heaps on its religious message with the inscription "Love God and Keep His Commandments" in large capital letters at its base. The Dixie County Commission approved the monument, donated by a local businessman, in January 2006 and...
