In today's episode, Dr. John examines Israel's persistent struggle with idolatry, focusing on their rebellion at Mount Sinai. Though God's command against idol-making seemed simple, Israel repeatedly turned to false gods. Dr. John unpacks why they did this, the consequences they faced, and what this means for us today.Living the Moral Law: A Guide for Every Generation: We begin a new series on Deuteronomy 5-11 entitled, "Living the Moral Law: A Guide for Every Generation." Before Israel entered the Promised Land, Moses reminded them of God's Covenant and instructed them to adhere to God's Law, which is absolute and perfect. The blessings of the land would only be fulfilled when Israel lived according to God's Word. The law does not supress life's joy; it releases it. It's a lesson for us today.
