Ten Commandments Stone Tables![]()
Cost per Set of Stone Tablets
ALLEGAN, MI (October 10) - Christ Community Church has had the Ten Commandments and the "Jesus Creed" engraved into a large field stone that can be seen by motorists as they drive past on the outskirts of the community. The stone 10 Commandments was dedicated on October 2. "It is the hope of Christ Community that the engraved stone might act as both a reminder of the daily work of our awesome God, but also used as a teaching device for young and old," says Pastor G. Patrick White. In his book The Jesus Creed, Scot McKnight, who serves as the Karl A. Olsson Professor of Religious Studies at North Park University, refers to Mark 12:29-31 as the Jesus Creed. ("Hear O Israel, the Lord your God is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength and with all your mind; and the second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself." NIV). White says he wants people to read the commands so they "might take them to heart and become living monuments of the Ten Commandments," adding, "it is not our desire that people will substitute inscriptions and monuments for that which is to be writ large in people." The stone tables are on public display. Recent Supreme Court rulings on the display of the commandments in public buildings prompted White to suggest that they be displayed on the church property. Within days, money was pledged for the monument. White believes such displays are appropriate, noting that the Bible speaks of building monuments, such as the 12 stones at the crossing of the Jordan River as reminders of what God had done in the people's lives.

STONE MONUMENTS
Moses wrote the Ten Commandments on Tables of StoneDeuteronomy 4:13And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone. Deuteronomy 5:29 O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever! Will the Commandments apply for ever, or Old Testament time only Psalm 111 7 The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. 8 They stand fast for EVER and EVER, and are done in truth and uprightness. 9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name. 10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
