10 Commandments

It's kind of sad, but I almost forgot the 10 commandments. A few weeks ago, Jen and I were sitting around and on a whim we tested each other. We did manage to get them all, but unfortunately, not in the right order.

I've been working on that again, trying to memorize the order and get it down. Why? Because some things you just don't want to forget. And since the law is the best thing God has given us to prepare the heart for hearing the gospel, it's probably good for Christians to know at least a little bit of the law. At least enough to prick the conscience and make room for the Holy Spirit to bring a little conviction. :)

That said...some recent surveys done for the promotion of the 10 commandments movie are rather sad, but probably not too surprising:

• 35% of American's can recall all six Brady kids from the Brady Bunch
  
  
• 25% could name all seven ingredients of the Big Mac®
  
  
• Only 14% can accurately name all Ten Commandments
  
  
• 80 percent of American's know "two all beef patties" of the Big Mac®. "Thou shalt not kill," was known to fewer than six in ten Americans.

Anyway, if you want to change all that, maybe start by testing yourself first.
