Remembrance

• Recent surveys have shown us that in the typical church congregation less than 1% of the people can list on a sheet of paper the Ten Commandments, in any order or form. How can we ever expect our country and its leaders to adhere to a moral code that most Christians don’t even know? We have a moral duty to first remember the 10 Commandments ourselves and to make sure that our families and churches also remember them.

Repetition

• We need to be repeating and reiterating the 10 commandments to our own families – talking about them when we are sitting in our house, and when we are walking by the way, and when we are lying down, and when we rise up (Deuteronomy 11:18-21). Repetition can also come in the form of posting the 10 commandments on the walls in our homes, on signs in our yards and displaying them in our churches.

Repentance

• Sin is the transgression of God’s Law (1 John 3:4). Without the 10 commandments we will not really understand our need for repentance. That is why God’s Law is the tutor who leads us to Christ (Galatians 3:24). It is only in Christ that we will find true repentance and forgiveness. Not until our nation, in humility, and prayerfully, turns from her wicked (lawless) ways will God hear her prayers and heal her land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)

Revival

• True repentance is always followed by revival and restoration. Spiritual revival, both personal and national, cannot take place in the absence of repentance. All the plagues of modern times like wars, abortion, crime, disease and loss of freedom are actually symptoms, and not the cause, of our rejection of our true moral code – the 10 Commandments.  When we, first as individuals, and then as a nation return to God’s Law we can expect to see revival, restoration, blessing and prosperity (2 Chronicles 17:1-13).

Rebuild

• The Psalmist asks the question: “if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (Psalms 11:3) We believe the best answer to that rhetorical question is… Rebuild! God has given us the blueprint to rebuild the culture and society on the Law of God under the Lordship of Christ. We must rebuild our culture on God’s Law-Word, starting with individuals and progressing outwardly to families, churches, groups, institutions, communities, and beyond. When God's Law is remembered and repeated and when His people repent and see revival and begin to rebuild the old foundations we will see His Will being done on earth as it is in heaven.
