We have had 15 discussions of the Christian’s relationship to the God’s moral law in this series. If anything, we hope we have shown you this topic is important and worth a great deal of meditation. In the final conversation of this series, John Snyder and Steve Crampton ask what are the right and wrong ways of using the law.
We’ve already answered the lies of antinomianism, the belief we shouldn’t use the law at all. But now we discuss how how to properly use the law in our life, and inappropriate uses we as humans are tempted to pursue.
If you haven’t gotten your copy of Ernie Reisinger’s book “The Law and the Gospel,” we highly recommend it to you. Get your copy of it book here: https://press.founders.org/shop/the-law-and-the-gospel/

We have Jason Alligood back on the podcast to talk about the doctrine of glory–not the glory of God, but the state of glory for believers. Why is there so little written about it? Why does it get less time in our pulpits? How does hope for the future change us in the present?Be sure to pick up Graham Cole’s Glorification: An Introduction, and check out Jason’s website and follow him on Twitter.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
