"Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go."

American newscaster, Ted Koppel, some time ago said on ABC's Nightline:

"We have actually convinced ourselves that slogans will save us:

"Shoot up if your must, but use a clean needle." Or "Enjoy sex whenever and with whomever you wish, but protect yourself."

"No! The answer is no! Not because it isn't cool or smart or because you wind up in jail or dying in the AIDS ward, but because it's wrong!

"What Moses brought down from Mount Sinai were not the Ten Suggestions, but the Ten Commandments!"

Prayer: "Dear God, help me always to remember that your laws, like the laws of the highway, are there for my safety, survival, and protection. . .to keep me free from the bondage and tyranny of evil and moral corruption. . .never to take away my freedom. In Jesus' name."
