Returning to the Ten Commandments

Ran across this commentary from "Men of Integrity" which had some good points and I thought important to share...
Remember the press uproar back in 2003 when workers dragged the Ten Commandments out of an Alabama courthouse? World Pulse editor Jim Reapsome reminds us that "their removal culminated a legal battle between civil libertarians and the judge who erected the two-and-a-half ton monument to the Decalogue.""Just one more indication that America has lost its spiritual moorings? Perhaps. But if the U.S. does crash, it won't be because Judge Roy Moore lost his fight. It will be because many churches and Christians have abandoned the Ten Commandments as an effective teaching tool. Polls repeatedly show that relatively few know, let alone keep, them. Are these commands taught to our children? Are they memorized and discussed? If there's no standard against which to measure our corporate and individual behavior, anything goes.""Neglect the Ten Commandments and we diminish the Holy Spirit's role of convicting the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. The apostle Paul said that God's law is our schoolteacher, leading us to faith in Christ. Only when we understand that we haven't kept God's laws—and therefore are rightly judged by them—will we be inclined to listen to offers of divine forgiveness and salvation."This week is about returning the Ten Commandments to our families, churches, and workplaces. "That is our best shot at teaching moral values," maintains Reapsome, "and seeing the Holy Spirit's dynamic power at work."
