Ten Commandments Day
A group of mostly conservative Christians (with a few conservative Jews thrown in) declard today to be the first annual Ten Commandments Day. It's really a politically motivated effort to try to pursue causes that include but don't end at public display of the Ten Commandments. As a Christian I'm all for the Ten Commandments, but I also know that their value comes in relationship with the covenant making God who called the people of Israel out of the bondage of slavery and set them free to become a nation who would walk in relationship with God. As a Christian, I find myself within this people of God only by adoption.
Anyway, if you're interested, I took another stab at the Ten Commandments today in my Lompoc Record column. Why not take a peek and let me know what you think. http://www.lompocrecord.com/articles/2006/05/07/opinions/050706b.txt
