Psalm 119:165 Those who love Your law have great peace, And nothing causes them to stumble. Obedience to His law causes peace. Knowing His law keeps me from messing up. It’s like knowing the speed limit on a street. If I know it, I’m less likely to go too fast and get a speeding ticket. Sure,…

The Law vs. Salvation
I keep running into the question of the Law vs. Salvation and how they are connected or not connected. Skip did a post about the link between Moses’ Law and Jesus’ Salvation. I was going to just put a link here, but I know that most of the time nobody ever follows the link…. So,…
613
Okay, this is a really cool post! It contains a link to the 613 laws the Jewish community is supposed to follow. Stop hyperventilating!

How Much Do We Keep?
Question: what “rules” from the Old Testament do we keep? For example, we say that getting tattoos is bad because the Bible says not to pierce or mark our bodies (but we pierce our ears with no compulsions…), but just a few verses earlier it says not to wear clothes made from two different fibers…
