Judge Roy Moore has created an uproar in some quarters. He posted the ten commandments in his courtroom and he begins court with a minister leading in a prayer. Judge Moore’s opponents have declared that it is not unconstitutional to display the Ten Commandments in courtroom, but they have to be displayed in an historical, not in a religious context.

“This is a religiously based nation.”

    Regardless of how the case is finally resolved, Judge Roy Moore is right to suggest to us that our standards of morality are tied to a belief in the God of the Bible. Judge Moore says it this way, “This is a religiously based nation.”

    Today, let’s prove Judge Moore right by letting the Lordship of Jesus Christ be our guiding star, by living a holy life set apart for the glory of God. We can also prove the judge right if we are gentle with all those who oppose us, letting the Christ-like spirit and the humble heart reflect that we are followers of Jesus. Yes, let’s stand up for Jesus, let’s pray for our country that one heart at a time, the Gospel will transform lives!
