"Woe to me if I preach not the gospel."

O How I Love Thy Law

God has given us his law, but what place does it have in our lives?  That's the topic for this month's newsletter.  

Articles include: the law and evangelism (with special guest, Kirk Cameron!), God and Government: the role of God's law in relation to the state, and the limits of God's law.  

You can also test your law knowledge with our law quiz. 

The aim of this mailing is to stimulate more thought regarding this oft neglected area.  Today's tendency is to emphasize the gospel and the realm of salvation and overlook what God says regarding ethics and life. For most, the ten commandments have not been the focus of much meditation.

I remember listening to a minister complain about how some civil officials were taking down the commandments from a public place (a courtroom or school, I can't remember which exactly).  He was aghast that such a profane thing would be done.  I thought to myself, "Well, I've never once heard the commandments read here in this church!  Why such a fuss about the neglect of them out among the unbelieving if the church does not express much interest in it either?"

As you read and consider what is said in this issue, I encourage you to take a new interest in the law of God.  Memorize it, study it, and pray over it regularly.
