Texas is making headlines — and history. With Senate Bill 10 signed into law by Governor Greg Abbott, public schools will now be required to post a framed copy of the Ten Commandments in every classroom. Louisiana has already paved the way. Arkansas, Oklahoma, and South Carolina are lining up to follow suit.
Critics call this an assault on the separation of church and state. But for countless parents, pastors, and concerned citizens, it is a long-overdue return to common sense.
For centuries, the Ten Commandments shaped not just religious life, but the moral fabric of the West — law, education, and public virtue. “It’s part of our history,” said Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick. “It’s part of who we are as a nation. It’s part of why we were founded.”
That foundation began to erode in the 1960s, when courts stripped prayer and Bible reading from schools. The result? A nation spiraling into moral confusion. In place of God’s Word came ideologies that deny truth, dismantle the family, and even blur the lines of biology itself. The so-called Sexual Revolution promised liberation — instead, it left millions of fatherless children, fractured homes, and rising gender identity crises in its wake.
We’re told now that right and wrong are just personal choices — that morality is a moving target. But even toddlers know better. The question isn’t if we believe in morality. It’s whose morality we’ll live by.
Modern secularism has gone beyond skepticism. It doesn’t just reject God — it rejects the very idea of good and evil. In its place? A world where feelings trump facts, where preference replaces principle, and where power defines truth.
The Ten Commandments, on the other hand, lay down truths that are timeless. They call us to honor God, value life, speak truth, respect authority, and uphold marriage. And they inform us that these guidelines are not optional—they are essential.
Today’s children are told to question everything — even their God-given identity. Moral clarity is mocked. Parents are pushed aside. And the state, once “neutral,” now enforces a new dogma — one that punishes moral clarity and elevates confusion.
In response, many communities are beginning to wake up.
Posting the Ten Commandments in classrooms isn’t just about posters — it’s about principles. It sends a clear message: Truth exists. Morality matters. And our kids deserve to see both.
Texans are overwhelmingly on board. A Rasmussen poll shows 80% of voters support making biblical values more available in schools. Churches and community members are lining up to donate framed copies, eager to help restore what’s been lost.
Yes, legal challenges are likely. But supporters aren’t backing down. As Rep. Brent Money put it: “Our kids need prayer and Bible reading in schools now more than ever.”
This isn’t just about Texas. And it’s not just about posters. It’s about the kind of nation we’re becoming. Will we keep sliding into moral chaos — where everything’s allowed, but nothing is sacred? Or will we return to truth? To righteousness? To the timeless Word of God?
Now’s the time to stand. Pray. Speak boldly. Hand out gospel tracts. Share Jesus everywhere — schools, streets, workplaces. While the world rewrites morality, we need to teach and preach the truth. Loud and clear.
The values we teach our kids today will shape how the next generation thinks, leads, and lives. Let’s equip our children to stand firm, know what they believe, and carry that foundation into a culture that’s increasingly hostile to it.
