Does God’s Law Change?
His law doesn’t change. The application of it does. Theologians wisely distinguish between natural law and positive law. This distinction, however, must be distinguished from natural law and revealed law. The latter distinction separates what we learn about God’s law from the created order, and what we learn from His Word. The former, however, distinguishes between the underlying, unchangeable principles, inherent in the nature of things, and the specific purposes of a particular law.

4 Reasons to Remember your Creator in Middle Age
Although it’s young people that are specifically commanded to remember their Creator (Eccl. 12:1), it’s probably assumed that middle-aged people will have the sense to do the same. Surely by then we have accumulated enough experience to realize that remembering we have a Creator and that we are creatures is basic wisdom. How then do we respect and remember our Creator in busy, striving, stressed-out middle age? Read More May 23, 2012 at 06:00 AM | from David Murray

The response infuriates the Jewish leaders even more because “not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling ... Read More May 21, 2012 at 06:00 AM | from Keith Mathison
