Formatted for Amazon Kindle, Sony Reader, Barnes & Noble Nook, Apple iPad, iPod touch, and Mobipocket reader.

Summary:

By Doug Murren

The Ten Commandments have never been more controversial. There is much angst about where they can and cannot be displayed. All such quests miss the point. The point is not where we display them publicly, but how our lives publicly display them for all to see. Even our understanding of what God meant by the Ten Commandments often misses the point. Unfortunately, following Jesus has been distilled to a strict list of do’s and don’ts as Christians have become defined by what they’re against rather than what they’re for. But that’s not what the Christian life is all about. The real measure of following God is unveiled when we discover just what God meant by the Ten Commandments. It’s not about what we don’t do, but how we apply the deeper meaning of what God intended through these commandments.

INCLUDES Small Group Questions.
