16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
I don't know if our local courthouse has the 10 Commandments posted anywhere, nor do I know if it ever had. My point in having the courthouse with this scripture is to show that though our country has changed over the decades and many have already turned to hold other things in higher esteem than God and His Commandments, I am so grateful that God saved me. It was through looking into the 10 commandments that I saw I was a sinner. Galatians 3:24 Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith. Am I open and humble enough to bring the law, then the grace of God to others?
FYI: These are my girls when they were about 2 & 9, it was taken 5 years ago. The picture brings back sweet memories.
Luke 18:11-1312'I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.'
13"But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, the sinner!'
To understand the tax collector a little better, I added this from my study bible: The tax collector's humility is notable in everything about his posture and behavior. Here was a man who had been made to face the reality of his own sin, and his only response was abject humility and repentance. He contrasts with the Pharisee in virtually every detail. He had no hope but the mercy of God. This is the point to which the law aims to bring every sinner.
