While the Kennedy case was about protecting an individual&#8217;s right to religious expression, a public display of the Ten Commandments on school grounds could be seen as an imposition of religious beliefs on the students who are required to sit in those classrooms. As such, it is likely that the bill\u2014if it becomes law\u2014would face a difficult path on its way to implementation.<\/p>\n<p>However, questions over whether the bill\u00a0<i>could<\/i>\u00a0become law have largely obscured the much more important issue of whether it\u00a0<i>should<\/i>\u00a0become law. And the answer to that latter question is more complicated than you might suspect.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Will displaying the Ten Commandments make a difference?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<p>On the surface, the idea that students and schools would benefit from paying greater attention to the moral precepts established in the Ten Commandments makes a lot of sense. And that Judeo-Christian morality did play a historically significant role in the development of the American Constitution and much of Western society. Even the deists among our nation&#8217;s founders\u2014those who believed that God created the world but is no longer active in it\u2014held no reservations about the importance of the virtues God established.<\/p>\n<p>As such, the argument that the Ten Commandments have historical significance has merit. But is throwing a one-and-a-half-by-two-foot picture of them up on the wall really going to make much of a difference in guiding America&#8217;s youth back to that sense of morality? And is the fight over their inclusion in the classroom going to help the advancement of the gospel among the lost?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s possible that the answer to both of those questions is yes, but it&#8217;s far from certain.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, history tends to show that when Christians try to impose elements of our faith where they&#8217;re not wanted, it&#8217;s the church that suffers.

They understood that even when the government acts with the genuine intent of helping the church, they typically end up doing more harm than good.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Changing our focus<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<p>Would it be beneficial if today&#8217;s youth were more aware of and accepting toward God&#8217;s will as established in the Ten Commandments? Absolutely.<\/p>\n<p>But, as Rep. Talarico insinuated, that&#8217;s not the school&#8217;s responsibility. It&#8217;s ours. And if we were collectively doing a better job of living out God&#8217;s laws in our own lives and teaching our kids to do the same, perhaps we wouldn&#8217;t feel the need to force the Commandments into classrooms in the hope that students will glance in their direction when they get bored.<\/p>\n<p>So regardless of where you stand on the idea of putting the Ten Commandments in classrooms, remember that we should be far more concerned with instilling God&#8217;s word in the hearts and minds of those he brings into our lives. Whether that&#8217;s your children, coworkers, neighbors, or anyone else you encounter on a regular basis, a key part of Christ&#8217;s call for every Christian is taking the personal responsibility of teaching others to obey all that he has commanded (Matthew 28:20).<\/p>\n<p>And we don&#8217;t need the government&#8217;s approval to do that.<\/p>\n<p>With whom can you start today?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Texas Senate passes bill requiring the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms &#8220;We think there can be\u00a0a restoration of faith\u00a0in America, and we think getting [the] Ten Commandments on these walls is a great way to do that. . . .
