Last week I woke up to this article in my daily news feed: Breitbart News: Poll Shows 80% of Americans Fear U.S. Is ‘Spiraling’ Out of Control Post-Assassination Attempt. These folks fear the once seemingly tranquil life America offered, even promised to so many has vanished forever.
I offer a simple explanation for America’s apparent death spiral, we have abandoned our founding Judeo-Christian Principles. Especially those found in the Ten Commandments. The quote from Cecil B. Demile below who was not known as a religious orator, sums it up fairly well.
STUDY
Ten Commandments Summary of God’s law, given to the people of Israel through Moses, represents the enduring will of God for the lives of those who would live in a relationship with God. Also called the Decalogue (Gr. “ten words”) (Exod. 20:1–17; Deut. 5:6–21).

SERMON
The Message of the Bible Today
A Sermon on Exodus 20:1-26
SERMON DESCRIPTION
Humans are unable to live in right relationship with one another because they are not in right relationship with God. In this sermon from Exodus 20:1–26 titled “The Message of the Bible Today,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones shows that at every opportunity throughout Scripture, humanity failed to dwell in obedience to God. Adam, Noah, Abraham—they all failed. Even when God gave the Israelites the Ten Commandments, they were unable to live in obedience. Scripture highlights God’s holiness and the depravity of sin in humanity with the sole purpose of turning people’s eyes to Jesus Christ. The greatest need is to live in right relationship with God and this is accomplished because sins were punished in Christ. Dr. Lloyd-Jones asks, “has the law of God brought you to Christ?” When one considers the state of humanity and their inability to live in obedience, Dr. Lloyd-Jones encourages turning to the character of God and the gift of His Son.
