The pastor was excited about their prospective future and ...read more

     | 7,217 views

    Was the Mosaic law good or bad? Why did God give it to Israel, and what part did it play for His people?

I thought about that a lot this week…and this was my conclusion: “Laws exist to modify behavior and to help us know what is acceptable and what isn’t.” Now, if that’s true, why were these laws written? In Michigan it is illegal to paint sparrows to ...read more
