When our children leave our home, our desire as parents is that they take with them the beliefs and values that we planted in our homes through their childhood. However, the reality is that when kids go off to college, many of them think, \u201cFREEDOM!! No more parents telling me what to do! No more parents in control! I\u2019m in college I can do whatever I want!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I imagine this feeling was probably similar to the Israelites in to the Book of Exodus, when they were first freed from Egypt and Pharaoh\u2019s rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, God was telling his people, \u201cActually, you can\u2019t just do whatever you want . . . but you are now FREE to know what to do.\u201d<\/em> The Ten Commandments<\/a> <\/strong>the Lord gave to Israel was the Lord telling his beloved children, \u201cYou are free to do the right thing!\u201d<\/em> So I have always believed the Bible\u2019s Ten Commandments as the Ten Freedoms<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ten Commandments are described as God speaking all these words as instructions to his beloved people, and these words were etched in stone. There was a permanence attached to God\u2019s design for how we live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him,\u00a0rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.<\/p>\nColossians 2:6-7 [NIV]<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Beliefs – Values – Attitudes – Behaviors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Beliefs shape our values which form our attitudes and create our behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do we define these terms?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
