Ten Commandments

Texas to Place Ten Commandments in Classrooms - Todd Starnes Texas is on track to put the Ten Commandments posted back in the classroom. Tim Barton, president of WallBuilders, told the “Todd Starnes Show” it’s a “great idea.” Texas State Sen. Phil King (R) introduced a new bill in the Lone Star State to mandate the Ten Commandments be displayed in every public classroom. Barton told host Todd Starnes this new legislation seems very logical. "The Ten Commandments have been the basis of all morals for the Western civilization, for the Western world, really, since the inception of the Western world. And so to me, it seems very logical. There’s a lot of good historic and legal precedent for this as well. But certainly, from a commonsense perspective, this just makes sense to go back to telling kids basic notions of morality like don’t kill other people,” Barton told Starnes. Barton also gave a short history lesson on the first textbooks printed in America, which contained over 40 questions about the Ten Commandments at the back of the book. “It wasn’t until 1980 when an activist Supreme Court determined that, you know, that’s probably been enough of the Ten Commandments in classrooms. Let’s not do that anymore. The 1980s, when activist judges said no more. Well, fortunately, because of the Supreme Court last summer overturning some of the bad precedents, we are at a place where we once again can restore some of the basic moral values we used to teach kids, which includes once again posting copies of the Ten Commandments.” (Read more) - We cannot thank and praise You enough, Dear God and Father that Sen. Phil King has proposed this legislation; we pray it comes to fruition! Show mercy on the citizens, children especially, of Texas. We know that should this legislation become law, Your word will be seen in each classroom and that it will accomplish all that You want. May Your restored word be reflected in changes in crime rates, healthier families, and a healthier society in TX. We ask that these changes do not go unnoticed by other states; may the citizens of each state also demand the return of Your word, Your commands for how we live. We know obedience to the Commandments pleases You because it brings abundant life and peace to Your creation. Father, prevent any legal challenges from prospering that might try to stop Your words of life from being reinstated in Texas schools. We call this legislation forth, in Yeshua's name! - … [it is] God, who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that do not exist. (Romans 4:17) So will My word be which goes out of My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the purpose for which I sent it. (Isaiah 55:11)
