G RATED LIFE IN AN X RATED WORLD
IS YOUR GOD WORTH LOVING?
July 8, 1990
Welcome: Good morning and welcome to Oakdale. This morning
we are beginning our summer series where we will look at the
10 Commandments and see if there is any relevancy for us

sentimental value but no real relevancy or authority for

only 49% of all protestants and 44% of all Roman Catholics
could name even 4 of the 10 commandments.
Are the 10 Commandments really pertinent to today's world?
What exactly are the commandments? What is their purpose?
Many today see the 10 commandments as the means to gain
