God’s law can teach, it can restrain, and it can disciple. But it cannot save. That was the problem of the Israelites as they looked at the burning mountain.

The fire on … Continue reading Exodus: The Ten Commandments (Decalogue) →

The people were out of Egypt. They’d gone through the wilderness.
