Have you ever heard the expression, "rules are made to be broken?"
Some people think that—especially when they believe rules keep them from having a good time. But sometimes they don't like the rules because they don't understand them. The Ten Commandments (see Ex. 20:3-17) are often misunderstood that way. They seem full of "Thou shalt nots" instead of "Thou shalts."
Who likes being told "Don't do this" and "Don't do that"? Probably nobody. But there's actually something more to the Commandments than the negative side, and that's the "Thou shalt" side.
