At the time of Moses, God gave to man Ten simple rules. - Ten things to observe and live by. And had man been able to comply and keep these ten simple rules - they were the 'blueprint' for the perfect society.

But mankind has for the most part chosen to disregard these rules. This is one of the main reasons why the world is currently in the state it is in.
We have in essence ignored 'Makers Instructions' - It's no wonder we malfunction on all levels.

 If the individual is not functioning correctly, then the family of which that individual is a member will not be functioning correctly. And if the family is not functioning correctly - then there's no way that the society can be functioning correctly. And so it goes, right up to National and subsequently - 'World' - level. Take a look at the news on your TV!

Note that they were not ten 'suggestions' or ten 'good ideas' - but they were a COMMANDMENT.

Mankind ignores 'commandments' from God at its peril.

What most people fail to understand is that these Laws - these God given rules - are still in force today. If you have not accepted The Lord Jesus Christ as your saviour then when you die you will be judged against these rules.

Here they are as a modern 're-statement'.

The Ten Commandments were written by God and given to Moses on Mount Sinai in the form of two stone tablets.

Both Judaism and Christianity believe that they are of divine origin.

  This is a lawless age. Crime and violence are increasing at a fearful rate because among millions of people there is practically no respect for law or constituted authority, either of God, or of man! On the international scene, nations live in fear because they very well know that the so-called "guarantees" and treaties of peace are not worth the paper on which they are written. There is no law—no respect for authority—among the nations of the world. This is the world in which you live!

The Real Source of Law

  Men have lost all deep respect for law because they have forgotten the very source of all law and authority! Your Bible says: "There is one Lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy" (James 4:12). That lawgiver is Almighty God. In their modern search for a man-devised "peace of mind" or a "religion that satisfies," men have totally forgotten about the great God who rules this universe! No wonder some of our young people—the leaders of tomorrow—have such a lawless attitude.
