It Is Not the Hearers of The Law Who Are Righteous
(Romans 2:12-16) If there is one thing that defines what civilisation is, it is the rule and structure of law. The establishment of a society based upon a set of agreed and accepted laws is what enabled societies to build, grow and prosper. And even today the rule of law is seen to be a…

Keeping the Law of Moses
(Acts 15:1-5) Here we see one of the stark contrasts between the teachings of the old covenant and the new covenant and as it says in verse 2 of this chapter, it caused a great argument and “No small dissension” between the two opposed groups. There were some men, and I must point out here…
