A businessman well known for his ruthlessness once announced to writer Mark Twain, “Before I die, I mean to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. I will climb Mount Sinai and read the 10 Commandments aloud at the top.”
“I have a better idea,” replied Twain. “You could stay in Boston and keep them.”
Does the Bible address Mark’s statement? Glad you asked.
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.
They claim to be part of the flock, but their big teeth give them away. Be careful Little Red Riding Hood. Mark Twain knew where the ten commandments should be put into practice. Give it some thought.
