| 0:00.0 | This is a message from Dr. Michael Yousef, Bible teacher, on leading the way. |
| 0:05.5 | Our prayer is that it will encourage you in your walk of faith. |
| 0:09.1 | And if you'd like to learn more about Dr. Youssef and the ministry of leading the way, |
| 0:13.2 | the place to start is l-tw.org. |
| 0:18.2 | The Supreme Court voted five to four, a very slim majority, to remove the Ten Commandments |
| 0:26.4 | from the walls of a school in Kentucky. And the court reasoning was that the children's |
| 0:32.4 | constitutional right had been assaulted by the presence of the Ten Commandments. The Court said in effect that the Ten |

| 2:11.5 | that without a compass, our life is in danger. And I can tell you without any hesitation, |
| 2:19.6 | that any culture, any nation, any society, |
| 2:24.5 | that loses its moral compass, |
| 2:28.3 | no matter how good the economy may be, |
| 2:32.1 | that culture and that nation is on a decline. But the $10 million question |
