For a majority of Americans, the Ten Commandments are not set in stone. According to a USA Today poll, “Sixty percent of Americans cannot name five of the Ten Commandments.” In fact, it is amazing what Americans do know by comparison:
- 74% of Americans can name all three Stooges — Moe, Larry, and Curley.
- 35% of Americans can recall all six kids from the Brady Bunch.
- 25% of Americans can name all seven ingredients of McDonald’s Big Mac

I mentioned in my sermon this past Sunday wondering if Christians still post the Ten Commandments in their homes? Do you teach them to your children? The Ten commandments are the foundation of Christianity. Does your Pastor preach on the Ten Commandments? Are the Ten Commandments posted in your Church? If not, why not? Hello!!!!
I remember a few years ago when many Christians were fighting to display the Ten Commandments in public. How about our homes? How about behaving like we beleive in the Ten Commandments.

Much of the Churches in America have lost the basic foundations of the Christian faith. I had lunch with my 89 year old mentor Dr. Claude Cone yesterday and we are very sad to see what is happening to many Churches. Just 37% of American Pastors have a Biblical Worldview. Look at us, we are a mess. We here at FGGAM are not bitter, we are made better by this mess, we are driven, made stronger in our love and faith by JESUS to share Him with all.
By the way just 4% of Americans have a Biblical Worldview. All you have to do is look at D.C.!!
