The Ten Commandments | part 6: the second use

April 25, 2008 – 12:54 pm

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. http://media.urclearning.org/audio/SS-Ten_Commandments_6.mp3

The Ten Commandments | part 4: the first use of the law

April 3, 2008 – 10:46 am

This uncomfortable exercise is necessary for you to see your need for Jesus Christ and appreciate the magnitude of what He has done. http://media.urclearning.org/audio/SS-Ten_Commandments_4.mp3
