The Ten Commandments: Our Character Crisis Revealed

So what if we break a promise, tell a small lie, or cheat a little? If morality doesn't come from God, it comes from fads and favorites, and our culture shows the result.

The Ten Commandments: Our Character Crisis Revealed is a 12-lesson Courageous Living workbook by Wilson Adams on Exodus 20.

How This Study Helps

Character is carved out in everyday decisions. Many Christians know the Ten Commandments in a general way but haven't considered how each one speaks to modern life.

This study begins at Sinai and takes each commandment in turn: putting God first, taking Him as He is, respecting what's holy, making time to be holy, honoring parents and aging parents, respecting life, keeping sex sacred, honesty about property and truth, and learning contentment. It shows why we need a return to God's moral order.
