Can Gods Law Be Delightful?
Youve heard people say, Christianity isnt about following rules, its about a relationship. But author and Bible teacher Jen Wilkin points out that relationships without rules are impossible. In her latest book, Ten Words to Live By: Delighting and Doing What God Commands, Jen shows the law of God is a feast for the famished soul, open to anyone who calls on the name of the Lord. Join Rebecca Carrell, Liz Rodriguez, and Jen Wilkin for an eye-opening discussion on how to delight in obedience to Gods Word. Christianity isnt about following rules, its about a relationship. The rise in popularity of this phrase coincides with a growing disinterest and misunderstanding regarding the role of Gods life-giving, perfect law in the Christian life. Rather than the source of joy it was intended to be, the law is viewed as an angry gods restrictions for a rebellious people. In Ten Words to Live By, Jen Wilkin presents a fresh biblical look at the Ten Commandments, showing how they come to bear on our lives today as we seek to love God and others, to live in joyful freedom, and to long for that future day when God will be rightly worshiped for eternity. Learn to see the law of God as a feast for your famished soul, open to anyone who calls on the name of the Lord.
