Even in the church many people misunderstand the Ten Commandments. Many think that:
- they no longer apply
- or that we can keep them to get to Heaven
- or that their only purpose is to show us that we need Jesus.
Before we begin looking at the Ten Commandments, we need to deal with these objections.

The Ark Lost and the Glory Departed
The dangers of rabbit-foot theology, judging by what we see and wrongly defining glory | 1 Samuel 4
