So what was engraved on each of the two tablets that God gave to Moses? How they answered that question in Sunday School might have distracted you from some important ways to understand and apply the ten commandments properly.
This web site was created to help religious and non-religious people answer these important questions.
We start to answer these questions in a special epsiode of our talk show, Sinners & Saints.
URC Learning is a joint project of four local congregations in the
United Reformed Churches
of North America.

The Ten Commandments | part 7: the third use
Running time: 9:35
So how should you thank God for saving your body and soul? The right way is to obey His holy laws. The wrong way is to exert yourself in obedience to easier substitutes. As we come closer to the Ten Commandments themselves, be prepared, in light of the gospel, to obey them no matter how difficult the task.

The Ten Commandments | part 6: the second use
Running time: 9:11
The second “table” of the Ten Commandments is an objective standard for civil order and righteousness. Its principles are reflected among every people group, even among those who deny that the Ten Commandments are from God. Any society in gross violation of the second table is inevitably a cesspool of immorality.

The Ten Commandments | part 5: the first use for Christians
Running time: 9:16
Last time we talked about the law thrashing unbelievers and driving them to see their need for Jesus Christ. This time we talk about how the law ought to do the same thing for Christians.

The Ten Commandments | part 4: the first use of the law
Running time: 9:36
The first way to apply the Ten Commandments to your life is to let them show you, one by one, how you have failed to keep them. This uncomfortable exercise is necessary for you to see your need for Jesus Christ and appreciate the magnitude of what He has done.

Jul 3 Jose on Chalcedonian Creed
Why does the chalcedonian creed include "mother of God"? It seems as if the author was putting Mary on the same level of the Godhead, this statement seems to add fuel to the roman catholic exaltation of Mary since, in my opinion, is open to interpret… continue reading »

This is the fourth and hopefully final time that I have been back and forth from Calvinism to Arminism. I always come back for the same reason. I put a pocket New Testment and pour myself reading it alone. I spend hours reading the Bible without an… continue reading »

Jun 3 Rev. Tom Morrison on An Introduction to the Reformed Faith (part 8): The Sacraments: the Lord's Supper
Alex, Thank you for your question. The phrase, "of the Lord," is not in the earliest and best manuscripts. Therefore, since these manuscripts are more accurate and the shorter reading (without "of the Lord") in these manuscripts is more likely… continue reading »
