RELIGIOUS LIBERTY NEWSFLASH!

Ten Commandments Brochure Goes to the Supreme Court

Crowds lined up early in the morning hoping to get into the

U.S. Supreme Court and hear arguments in two cases

involving the public display of the Ten Commandments.

Members of the press, lawyers, and citizens received a

complimentary copy of our brochure, “Written in the Heart,”

hot off the press just in time. The theme of this brochure

is that Americans do need the Ten Commandments – written in

the human heart by the Almighty, not merely put on public

display. It is a powerful combination of a spiritual and

religious liberty message. It is also now available for

public distribution, together with our poster, portraying

the hand of God writing the law on the human heart, at

www.religiousliberty.info.

The Supreme Court is expected to rule on this case in June.

We have a narrow window of opportunity to widely influence

the public, while it is paying attention to the Ten

Commandments. Act now to widely distribute these brochures.

Adventists have long believed as a matter of Bible prophecy

that public policy would focus on the law of God and the

Ten Commandments in the last days. Now is our chance to

publicly champion the law in a very positive, spiritual

manner. The brochure avoids the quagmire of legalisms,

whether and under what circumstances the state should be

permitted to display the commandments. Instead, the

brochure emphasizes our need for God to do what the state

cannot do – change our hearts.

The brochure is a publication of the North American

Religious Liberty Association –West. It was written by

Christa and Alan Reinach, and edited by Clifford Goldstein.

Special thanks to James Standish, Esq., Executive Director

of NARLA, for organizing the effort at the Supreme Court,

and also at the National Press Club debate on the Ten

Commandments cases the week before. All are encouraged to

join NARLA, and join the front lines of religious liberty.
