TEN COMMANDMENTS

Is it so hard to believe that God is the creator of the universe: Is there any evidence to the contrary? Is it so hard to believe that our idols are only the evidence of our insecurity? Is it so hard to believe that God's name is sacred, and only to be used with the deepest respect? Is it so hard to believe that God, in His compassion, has ordained a day for rest and worship, so that we may rejuvenate, and revive? Is it so hard to believe that we should take care of our parents, and not to pension them off to the institutional community? Is it so hard to believe that we should not murder each other: Isn't the taking of the life of another depriving ourselves of life? Is it so hard to believe that copulating with another man's wife is the most egregious offense we can do to our neighbor who trusts us? Is it so hard to believe that stealing what is not ours is tantamount to impoverishing ourselves? Is it so hard to believe that telling lies that destroy the character of another is lessening of our own? Is it so hard to believe that coveting what someone else owns, cannot ever bring us prosperity, and is like chasing the wind? Is it so hard to believe that God would command us to do these things for our own good and well-being? If it is--then why do we say that we believe in God at all? Can it be that we are aware that we need His Love, mercy and forgiveness? Could we survive in a world where God didn't exist? If the answer is no, then why don't we do what He says? Why is it so hard to believe His WORD? Why do we persist in being so disobedient? WE ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE!
