The 10 Commandments: Perspectives on the Law The decalogue of Moses was established as a summary of the expectations God had for those who would follow Him. For centuries, the commandments have functioned to ground our culture and keep it from undoing itself. More recently, multiple arguments have challenged the place of the commandments in society and even in the practice of both the Jewish and Christian faiths. This multi-part series will chronicle and alert us to these changes and review how essential this list of guidelines is to believers in Messiah, but also to society as a whole. Marion Bible Fellowship is partnering with Corner Fringe Ministries (Pastor Daniel Joseph) to present this challenge in a time it is desperately needed.
