God says, my words shall not pass away
The world says that the law is done away with
God says:
Thou shall have no other Gods before me.
The world says that anything, anybody or even we can be our own gods.
Thou shall not make unto thee any graven images nor bow down to them nor serve them.
The world says that you can have statues around your house, in your yard, hanging in your rear view mirror, etc.
Thou shall not take the Lord's name in vain
The world uses the Lord's name flippantly in sitcoms, stand-up comedy and in choice curses on one hand, and on the other hand, people say that they are Christian and yet deny the Father and His Son in their words and actions
Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy...the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord
The world says that Friday, Sunday or Wednesday is good enough to observe as "my sabbath" or everyday is the sabbath or a few hours of whatever day we choose
Honor thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord they God giveth thee
The world says who are you to tell me what to do and when you become a burden, we'll leave you in a nursing care facility to wither away in loneliness
Thou shall not kill
The world says kill for oil, greed, sneakers, North Face jackets or just because you cut me off in traffic
Thou shall not commit adultery
The world says it's ok to have one night stands, have multiple families, marry and re-marry whenever the desire suits you
Thou shall not steal
The world says charge extra interest, embezzle, rip off, whatever to get ahead
Thou shall not bear false witness
The world says white lies are ok, lies that save people unnecessary hurt are fine, lies to get what you want are justifiable, and besides, everybody lies at some point in their life, so it's unrealistic the think that we can live without lying
Thou shall not covet
The world says that you can have whatever you set your mind to and that if you can conceive it, you can achieve it
What governs our actions, the word or the world?
