Deuteronomy 17-18

Today we are challenged with keeping God's covenant people free of false worship.  What is the New Testament version of "purging the evil" from the ranks of God's people?  I think we should take this seriously.  (See Matthew 18, for instance).

Also, the man who claims to speak for God has a great privilege AND a great responsibility.  If he veers from saying exactly what God says ... whoa - check out the end of ch. 18.

Read it here.

  1. I long to someday have the privilege to preach on a regular basis and a group of elders rooted in sound doctrine to vet me and my sermons prior to being delivered to the congregation.

    It is a responsibility and privilege full of joy and trembling for sure. But a wortby one and one worth doing and by God's grace possible.
