Texas Senate embraces 10 Commandments!
We have got some encouragement for our fledgling, David vs. Goliath-style marketing campaign for a Ten Commandments revival nationally – this time within the coronary heart of Texas.
The Texas state Senate, by a 17-12 vote, has adopted a plan to have the Ten Commandments displayed in class school rooms. Senate Invoice 1515 explains, “a public elementary or secondary faculty shall show in a conspicuous place in every classroom of the varsity a sturdy poster or framed copy of the Ten Commandments.”
WND, beneath my path, not too long ago launched into an effort to create a national billboard presence, sponsored by on a regular basis Individuals, to battle the pattern towards lawlessness and Godlessness.
Sen. Phil King, a Republican, arrange the plan to ensure the paperwork are least 16 inches by 20 inches. The billboards will likely be way more spectacular in dimension.

The Texas plan now goes to the state Home, and if the Republican-majority physique adopts it, it could go to Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, for his signature. It might take impact as early as Sept. 1.
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick stated that permitting the Ten Commandments and prayer in public faculties was among the many methods to show that Texans “have the correct to freely categorical their sincerely held spiritual beliefs.”
Whereas each state as soon as permitted posting the Decalogue in an official capability, solely Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Tennessee are among the many states that “enable” the Ten Commandments to be displayed as such.
Are you able to think about not even allowing the Ten Commandments to be formally displayed within the overwhelming majority of states? That is how low we have fallen. That is how a lot we’ve allowed the character of our nation to be defaced. Do you see why we want this revival so badly nationwide?
That is our second. Let’s seize it – earlier than it is too late!
The Scripture reads, in Hosea 4:6: “My persons are destroyed for lack of expertise: as a result of thou hast rejected data, I may also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the regulation of thy God, I may also overlook thy youngsters.”
Have we not given God license to overlook our kids by forgetting the regulation if God?
President Harry Truman as soon as stated: “The elemental foundation of this nation’s legal guidelines was given to Moses on the Mount. … I do not assume we emphasize that sufficient today. … If we do not have a correct basic ethical background, we’ll end up with a totalitarian authorities which doesn’t consider in rights for anyone aside from the State.”
Is not that explicitly simply the place we’re?
He stated it in 1950. We have controversial reached the vacation spot in 2023. Can we reverse our course? Truman is the person who singlehandedly and courageously dedicated america to acknowledge and help the miraculous founding of the nation of Israel in 1948.
“The Ten Commandments usually are not the legal guidelines. They’re THE Regulation,” said Cecil B. DeMille, the good filmmaker, in 1956 on the New York opening of his epic movie of the identical title.
Whereas filming on-location in Egypt, DeMille, then 75 years previous, climbed a 107-foot ladder to shoot the well-known Exodus scene from atop of the large set. Within the intense warmth, DeMille suffered a near-fatal coronary heart assault. Although medical doctors ordered him to relaxation, DeMille completed directing the film. He by no means absolutely recovered and died of a coronary heart situation on Jan. 21, 1959, earlier than he had an opportunity to make a deliberate movie on the E-book of Revelation.
Persevering with his feedback on the 1956 New York opening of “The Ten Commandments,” DeMille said: “Man has made 32 million legal guidelines for the reason that Ten Commandments have been handed right down to Moses on Mount Sinai greater than 3,000 years in the past, however he has by no means improved on God’s Regulation. The Ten Commandments are the rules by which man might reside with God and man might reside with man. They’re the expressions of the thoughts of God for His creatures. They’re the constitution and information of human liberty, for there might be no liberty with out the regulation.”
We have forgotten the Ten Commandments so shortly. Individuals overwhelming knew what they have been – even within the Fifties and 1960. They have been God’s commandments. And so they nonetheless are.
Texans are rediscovering that within the Lone Star State. Can america supernaturally discover them immediately? Our very lives depend upon it.
