Any Nation Any People

Amy nation or people

 I was on staff of a large church, for 5 years and our department taught basic Christian beliefs. Our department boss, a well-known psychologist, used to say if any nation or any family or person tries and lives by the 10 commandments, they will be a lot better off than others. When God brought the nation of Israel, the Jews, out of Egypt, around 1450 BC. He instructed Moses to give them the Ten Commandments to obey and follow, (Exodus 20:1-17, Deuteronomy 5:6-21). There were promises of God’s care, protection and provision if they obeyed and promises of punishment if they did not keep them, (Deuteronomy 5:29, 6:1-3, 6:13-15). A short version is:  1 no other god before me. 2 you shall not make or worship any idols. 3 do not take the name of the Lord in vain. 4 remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 5 honor your father and mother. 6 do not murder. 7 do not commit adultery. 8 do not steal. 9 do not lie. 10 do not covet anything of your neighbors. That is not the requirement to get into heaven but putting our faith in Jesus Christ is, (John 3:16, 1:12, 14:6, 1 John 1:5-10). Good ol U.S.A. about to celebrate it’s 250th birthday may our nation as a whole and us as individuals seek God and try to live in a way that pleases Him. See you in Church next Sunday. Brother J
