 Above is
the first 42" square display (the first of at least 4,300, God-willing) of the 10 Commandments that is engraved
from 1/2" thick acrylic that is also edge-illuminated with white L.E.D. lights at the top and full-color computerized
L.E.D. lights at the bottom (colors changing constantly). Portions of the acrylic have been engraved up to 3/8"
deep and other areas have been "multi-stage" sandblasted. See some of the color transitions available by scrolling
down to the bottom of this page.
 Above is the interior of the Calvary Chapel Church in Monmouth/Independence, Oregon (my church) and the 10 Commandment Display in one of the windows. This photo was taken at night (you can see some of the computerized color transitions in the 2nd and 3rd photos on the right, as well as the "double" image produced from the insulated glass of the window itself).  Above show 2 photos taken inside the Church lobby (looking thru the display towards the parking lot) showing interesting effects in the engraving because of the changing conditions of the light during the day. Hi Friends! My name is Roy McFaddin, an artisan-craftsman-engraver and I go to the Calvary Chapel Church located in Monmouth-Independence, Oregon.  This may seem "somewhat radical", but I believe that God may want me to be involved in the engraving of the 10 Commandments by producing at least 4,300 of the 42" square displays (as illustrated above) ASAP and then display them thru-out America (that's only 86 per state). If God speaks to you in this way, I'm asking my Christian Brothers and Sisters to consider helping me do this for several reasons: 1. There is so little time left before the Lord returns. John 12:35-36 states "....My light will shine out for you for just a little while longer.....Walk in the light while you can.....Believe in the light while there is still time.....". 2. In these last days these displays could help identify where the truth is being taught. Luke 11:33 speaks of not hiding a light under a basket, but to put it on a lamp stand for all to see. Why not put these lighted 10 Commandments right in the windows of churches which faithfully teach the Word? My church, Calvary Chapel Church in Independence, Oregon will soon have the first 42" square engraved clear acrylic (1/2" thick) 10 Commandment display, right in one of the large front windows, edge-lighted with state-of-the-art programmable L.E.D. lights; look for it on this website in a few days---thank you Pastor Rick Hopkins for giving me the "go-ahead" to do this! 3. Did you know that the 10 Commandments is displayed 43 times in the Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C.? The Lord has impressed upon me to do what I can to have these 42" square displays appear all over America at least 4,300 times.......100 times for each time they are displayed in the Supreme Court building. A little "radical"............but isn't it time to be a "little radical"? Thank you David Barton, of "Wallbuilders", who informed me of those 43 displays of the 10 Commandments now in the Supreme Court Building in Washington D.C.! 4. God delights in mercy and He warns people before judgement
occurs......4,300 lighted window displays of the 10 Commandments popping up all over America would be hard to ignore.
What a way to let our light shine!
5. True Christians are called the "children of light";
why not make it very obvious by way of displaying this edge-lighted 10 Commandment display in churches across America, where
true "children of light" are gathering and where the Word is faithfully being taught?
6. Not only would these unique displays help be a powerful "light on a lamp stand for all to see" now, but they would also be a powerful "silent witness" to those left behind. 7. Yes, it's time to be a "little radical" in
telling people about Christ and the coming Kingdom. This was reinforced by a sermon given by Pastor Brian Broderson
of Calvary Chapel, Costa Mesa, California. In a sermon on March 25 of this year, Pastor Brian said "....it's time
to be radical for Christ......we're getting out of here and there's so many people who still don't know about Jesus.....".
Pastor Brian was very careful to mention that he was not advocating "irresponsibility", but that there's still a
time to be "a little radical" and "step out in faith". Pastor Chuck Smith, also of Calvary Chapel,
said during a "Pastor's Perspective" radio broadcast recently that ".....if you have a strong impression"
to do something that you believe is from God, by reading His Word and by being in prayer, then "you should step out in
faith and do it......and if it then doesn't work out, you then 'step back'".
 Above photo
shows another one of the constantly-changing colors provided with the computerized controller for the L.E.D. lights; you can
also see the space beneath the tablets where specific Scriptures can be added, per your request.
 Above you can see the 3/8" thick engraved depth in the 1/2" thick, clear-cast acrylic; you can also see some of the "multi-stage" sandblasting and very shallow engraving. So, I'm "stepping out in faith" to see what God will do with these engraved and lighted 10 Commandment displays; the cost for these 42" square displays is just for the materials only, as all of the labor and shop time to produce these (4,300 of them, God-willing) is going to be donated. If God is truely directing this effort to display the 10 Commandments one last time in America (and over-seas, too, perhaps) before the Rapture, then He will somehow make it work! Little is much when God is in it! If you are interested in having one of these 42" square displays, please let me know and we'll see what God will do. If your Christian Church, Christian School or Christian Organization faithfully teaches the Word, why not let that "light shine on a lamp-stand for everyone to see"? Again, we'd like to produce and supply these 42" square, edge-illuminated displays for material costs only (which is approx. $500, plus shipping), that includes a custom dedication or Scripture of your choice beneath the tablets and includes the full-color programmable L.E.D. lights, the special, separate power supply and computerized controller that allows you to choose from several built-in computerized "routines" ("rainbow", "flashing", "random", etc.) that you can "speed-up" and "slow-down" the transitions in color (you can even "pause" and "freeze" it on a specific color of your choice). The $500 also includes the special aluminum extrusion that the L.E.D. lights fit into (the 1/2" thick engraved acrylic panel also fits neatly into this extrusion) as well as the aluminum frame-work that allows you to install the 42" square display into a standard window opening (this frame-work is adjustable to allow for varying widths of windows). The $500 for "material costs only" is for the large, "first cabin" version of this display; we are in the process of designing other versions that are smaller, with a lower-cost of materials. The entire display is approx. 4" deep and is visible from both sides.These L.E.D. lights require only a standard 110 wall outlet source for the special included power supply to plug into. The little lightbulbs themselves are rated as "low power", lasting 7 to 10 years (average) and are designed to be left on 24 hours a day.   Above is
a night photo of the entrance into my Calvary Chapel Church; the lights inside the lobby area are off in the upper photo and
they are on in the lower photo.
 Above 2 photos show how the full-color L.E.D. lights at the bottom of the engraving are "captured" by the deeply-engraved areas; the top of the 42" square acrylic display is lighted on the edge with "white" L.E.D. lights only, the combination of which (full-color on the bottom edge and white only on the top edge) beautifully renders the engraved and sandblasted areas.  Above photo, taken at sunset, illustrates some of the stunning color effects combined with the changing light conditions during the day. Lower-cost, unlighted models are below:  Above is the plaque that was awarded to David Barton at the "Watchmen
On The Wall" conference in Washington, D.C. on May 21, 2009. This version of our "personal size" 10 Commandment
displays, which are 16" x 20" tall (engraved acrylic portion; the over-all size
including the frame shown is 22" x 26" tall). This style and size is $145
(plus shipping) and has room for personalized dedications under the tablets; this version also has the "10"
instead of the "Ten" at the top. This version is without the "aged"
texture on the tablets.
 Above is another, different style, also for $145 each (plus shipping and handling) for the "Personal" size version of the 10 Commandments (also with the 16" x 20" tall acrylic portion, with the over-all size including the frame at 22" x 26" tall) that has the "aged" background on the tablets themselves; this version also spells out "Ten", instead of the number "10" at the top. This plaque was awarded to Ray Birch of the Mid-Valley Christian Academy recently. The above "Personal" sized plaques (2 versions----one with the "Ten" and "aged background and the one with the "10" in number form) are available with custom dedications for $145 each (plus shipping and handling). The actual engraved acrylic is 3/8" thick and fits into the 16" x 20" tall frame opening. The engraving is 1/4" deep and sandblasted tones are surface-etched; both are done in "reverse" on the "second surface" of the acrylic, leaving the front of the clear-cast acrylic smooth. The over-all dimension including the frame is 22" wide x 26" tall. The price includes a custom dedication or Scripture of your choice that is located beneath the tablets. We have a "Pay Pal" account and we would prefer that you would use this method of payment if you are interested in purchasing one of these "Personal" sized 10 Commandment plaques. The 3/8" thick engraved and sandblasted acrylic "floats" over the cherry laminate background by using 4 aluminum "stand-offs". These plaques have heavy-duty hardware and wire pre-attached to the back making them ready to hang on the wall. May we do one of these custom-dedicated 10 Commandment wall plaques for your Christian Home, Christian Church, Christian School or Christian Organization? Cheers and God Bless! Please consider
having one of these unique displays shining "as a light on a lamp-stand, for
everyone to see....." at your Christian Church!

just some of the built-in computerized color transitions (and you can "pause" the L.E.D. controller on any color
for an indefinite period of time):
   Above 9 small photos were taken while the engraving was placed against a dark wall, verses placing the engraving in a window.  Above 4 small photos show the engraving display placed in the window of our Calvary Chapel Church (photos taken at night).   Above 6 small photos show daylight effects on the L.E.D. lights, as seen from inside our Calvary Chapel Church looking out.  Above is a detail photo thru the engraving looking towards the parking lot; at various times during the day, the sun captures and defines the deeply-engraved areas in very interesting ways.  Above is our Calvary Chapel lobby at night. |
