Laws of the Land

Many have been pondering the end of civilization and when and how this will occur. All I know is that I try to live each day the best that I can. Then I don't need to worry. I will be returning to see my Father again.

Today, I want to spend a few moments writing about the beginning of Western Civilization. It is clear that Christianity played an important part. The people chose what their law would stand on. They decided it would be Christianity's principles that would be the foundation of the laws of the land. It became much larger than religion. It crossed over to civil interpretation of basic tenets of their law.
Those tenets still hold up after the test of time:
1. Don't put other gods before me (in today's world, this could mean money, power, possessions. etc.)
2. Don't construct a graven image.
3. Don't take the Lord's name in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath day.
5. Respect your father and mother.
6. Don't kill.
7. Don't commit adultery.
8. Don't steal.
9. Don't bear false witness against your neighbor.
10. Don't covet your neighbor, their spouse, or possessions.
