Tragic Removal of the Ten Commandments
Judicial Building in Montgomery, AL
The Greatest Tragedy:
The Ten Commandments are
disappearing from the minds,
hearts, and lives of most
Americans.
Why focus on the Ten Commandments?
• God’s blueprint for successful relationships.
• God’s moral absolutes have consequences.
• God’s commandments bring blessing to
those who obey and teach them.
• God’s answer to the greatest moral crisis
America has ever faced.
First Commandment: "I am the LORD
your God, who brought you out of Egypt,
out of the land of slavery. You shall have
no other gods before me.”
Exodus 20:2-3.
National Motto
The First Commandment
requires that God must be
worshipped exclusively.
Second Commandment:
“You shall not make for yourself an idol
in the form of anything in heaven above
or on the earth beneath or in the waters
below.”
Exodus 20:4
“There are three points of doctrine the belief of
which forms the foundation of all morality. The first
is the existence of God; the second is the
immortality of the human soul; and the third is a
future state of rewards and punishments. Suppose
it possible for a man to disbelieve either of these
three articles of faith and that man will have no
conscience, he will have no other law than that of
the tiger or the shark. The laws of man may bind
him in chains or may put him to death, but they
never can make him wise, virtuous, or happy.”
John Quincy Adams
The Second Commandment
requires that God must be
worshipped correctly.
Third Commandment:
“You shall not misuse the name of the
LORD your God, for the LORD will not
hold anyone guiltless who misuses his
name.” Exodus 20:7
General George Washington
condemned “profane cursing
and swearing” in the
Continental Army, convinced
that that “we can have little
hopes of the blessing of
Heaven on our Arms, if we
insult it by our impiety.”
The Third Commandment
requires that God’s name
must be treated reverently.
Fourth Commandment:
"Remember the Sabbath day by keeping
it holy. Six days you shall labor and do
all your work, but the seventh day is a
Sabbath to the LORD your God.”
Exodus 20:8-10a.
General George Washington
also issued orders to attend
“Divine service” every
Sunday at 11:00 AM and
added: “To the distinguished
character of Patriot, it
should be our highest Glory
to laud the more
distinguished Character of
Christian.”
The Fourth Commandment
requires that God’s day of rest
must be observed devotedly.
Fifth Commandment:
"Honor your father and your mother, so
that you may live long in the land the
LORD your God is giving you.”
Exodus 20:12
Young George
Washington copied the
110 Rules of Civility &
Decent Behaviour in
Company and
Conversation, which
included Rule 108:
“…Honor & Obey your
Natural Parents altho
they be poor.”
The Fifth Commandment
requires that God’s delegated
authorities must be treated
honorably.
Sixth Commandment:
“You shall not murder.”
Exodus 20:13
Declaration of Independence
“We hold these Truths to be selfevident, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain
unalienable Rights, that among
these are Life, Liberty, and the
Pursuit of Happiness.”

life be treated respectfully.

“It is the first fact
of civilization;

the kids owns the
future.”
Patricia Nell Warren
Lesbian Activist
The Seventh Commandment
requires that God’s plan for
human sexuality in the marriage
covenant be kept faithfully.
Eighth Commandment:
“You shall not steal.”
Exodus 20:15
“The moment the idea is
admitted into society that
property is not as sacred as the
laws of God, and that there is not
a force of law and public justice
to protect it, anarchy and tyranny
commence. If “Thou shalt not
covet,” and “Thou shalt not
steal,” were not commandments
of Heaven, they must be made
inviolable precepts in every
society before it can be civilized
or made free.”
Stealing Religious Liberty
“The First Amendment has
erected a wall between church
and state. That wall must be
kept high and impregnable.
We could not approve the
slightest breach.”

and deal truthfully.

“You shall not covet… anything
that belongs to your neighbor.”
Exodus 20:17
“Scriptures… direct
that rulers should be
men who rule in the
fear of God, able men,
such as fear God, men
of truth, hating
covetousness (Exod.

Breaking the Commandments
• As a nation, we have turned away from the one
true God and we worship the god of Self.
• We have set up Government as an idol because of
its promises to provide for us but is a harsh
master.
• We dishonor God’s name by attaching it to all
kinds of unbiblical and ungodly views, policies,
and agenda’s.
• We routinely dismiss God’s plan for the Christian
Sabbath, which is actually in our Constitution.
• We regularly undercut parental authority in
government schools and fail to care for our elders.
Breaking the Commandments
• We are drowning in a sea of blood created by abortion,
not to mention violent crime and murder.
• We are a sex-crazed culture where pervasive
pornography, co-habitation, adultery and militant
homosexuality are marching us toward family, and
therefore societal, ruin.
• We are ruled by legislators who are stealing our
children’s future by borrowing with no plan to pay and
by black robed tyrants masquerading as judges who
are stealing the last vestiges of our Judeo-Christian
heritage and our freedoms as Bible believing
Christians.
• We call lying “resume enhancement,” “shrewd
marketing,” and a “campaign promise.”
• We believe that greed is good, and covetousness is the
spirit of our age.
• Required his troops to go to
church;
• Punished them for foul
language and gambling;
• Drummed homosexuals out of
his military;
• Knelt in the snows of Valley
Forge in prayer to God;
• Claimed that unless we follow
the example of Jesus (the Divine
Author of our Blessed Religion)
we can never hope to be a
happy nation.
George Washington
• First act of his Presidency
was to promise “so help
me God;”
• Bend over to kiss the
Bible;
• Call on the nation to
implore the blessings of
Heaven;
• Take the Congress to
church at St. Paul’s
Chapel to hear the word of
God preached.
