I’ve always thought it curious that Christians will have a fit about removing
the Ten Commandments from our courthouse walls when, truth be told, they
probably aren’t even hanging on our church walls and certainly not in our homes.
Perhaps a few times a year a Sunday school teacher puts them on the whiteboard.
A few decades ago churches opted aesthetically for a contemporary feel- our new
buildings feel and look more like corporate or healthcare facilities and down
came things like crosses and commandments, banners and Bible verses. These are
days to paint our walls with praise and lift high the banner of righteousness.
