Ten Commandments Project
Horrified by today’s story lines on TV, gays rights, accepted adultery, children killing children, children having children, pro-choice people, violent lyrics, school violence, as so on, and its effect on our country’s moral conscience – George Kelley and his wife, Marion, started the Ten Commandments Project in the spring of 1997. It was the Kelley’s belief that children would never forget that someone cared enough to encourage them to understand what is and is not acceptable conduct.
The Ten Commandments Project seeks to provide encouragement incentives to children (16 yrs. and younger) who will memorize the Ten Commandments. When children know the Ten Commandments, the laws will plant themselves into the subconscious mind and soul of each child and help them make the right decisions as they grow to adults. Children can live only what they know.
In our western civilization, our idea of what is right and what is wrong comes from The Ten Commandments. Success and failure are determined by character. Character is developed by thoughts and actions. Even though we may not think about it, The Ten Commandments are the standard by which character is judged. The hard cold facts of life are that the secret of being successful and getting ahead is hard work, responsibility, the rule of law and private property rights. The 8th commandment states; 'Thy shall not steal,' presupposing the right to own private property, which is the basis of our free enterprise system. The character of a child is important to the future of the American economy and the moral well-being of our nation!"
George Kelly
George Kelley is dedicating his life to The Ten Commandments Project. With a passionate voice, George proclaims, "I believe it is the will of God that leads me to do all I can to change the direction in which the culture is headed. God takes me, guides me, marks out the road for me, measures the distance for me, upholds me and gives me strength in this life to do what I believe is His Will. And I believe it is His Will that children learn The Ten Commandments."
The Vision
Our vision is to have 10 million children who have memorized the Ten Commandments in ten years, and ten million adults who will reaffirm The Ten Commandments as the standard for morality in the United States. If we have 10 million Ten Commandments children, it follows that ten million parents and/or friends would be an easy task."
"We definitely have a target audience," George states, "In a recent survey it was found that less than 1 percent of adults and teenagers could name all of The Ten Commandments!" There are approximately 280 million people in the United States, with approximately 40 million being of school age (6-16). Along with the school age children, there are 15 million students in our colleges and universities. The Ten Commandments Project has incorporated in the state of Tennessee as a non-profit corporation and is actively seeking investors. A donation of $10 will provide a certifcate and $10 to a kid for memeorining the Commandments.

Deuteronomy 9
1 Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,
2 A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak!
3 Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee.
4 Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.
5 Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
6 Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.
7 Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the LORD.
8 Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you.
9 When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water:
10 And the LORD delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the LORD spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
11 And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.
12 And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.
13 Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
14 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.
15 So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.
16 And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you.
17 And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.
18 And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also.
20 And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.
21 And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.
22 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah, ye provoked the LORD to wrath.
23 Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.
24 Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.
25 Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the LORD had said he would destroy you.
26 I prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
27 Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:
28 Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.
29 Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.
Psalm 19:8-10
8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
Psalm 119:20
20 My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times.

Leviticus 26:14
But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do
all these commandments;
Leviticus 26:14
And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your
soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my
commandments, but that ye break my covenant:
Leviticus 26:14
I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint
over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague,
that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of
heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your
enemies shall eat it.
