Deep dives

The Commandments as Authority from Above

The preaching of the Ten Commandments, despite their association with traditional morality, serves as a vital activity for this generation. These commandments, being an authority from above, challenge the prevailing cultural belief that truth is found within oneself. By proclaiming the commandments, we affirm their divine origin rather than evaluating their wisdom. Emphasizing the authority of God's commandments is crucial for teaching and guiding individuals in an age where personal autonomy is highly valued.
