The Law and The Priesthood

The Law and The Priesthood

How does the law of Jesus compare to the law of Moses?
The Torah is the closest thing we get to a set of rules from God. But even amongst the 613 commands, there is narrative, mystery, and tension. No set of rules could be complete enough to guide the human heart. The Spirit knew we needed more and has given us a rich set of 66 books. The result is that we are often unable to just turn to a simple answer for the things we face. Rightly handling the word of God means that we must engage with the Spirit, engage with spiritual people, research theology and history, and above all else, pray.

Salt of Earth

To stay salty is to live out the beatitudes. To be salty is to be like Christ. When we do that we help people around us develop a taste for Christ and be attracted to Him.

Love one another

We have an obligation to serve others at our expense. Love sounds very easy. But true love is hard. We will always learn how to love.
