I wanted to offer a brief reflection on the biblical idea of Sabbath. In the Old Testament, we often isolate Sabbath to a 24-hour period of physical rest, while spiritual rest is usually associated with the New Testament. In this post I point out a pattern in Genesis that shows that God’s intention for rest has been consistent from the beginning of time.

Hebrews 10:1 says that the law is a shadow. Traditionally, this has been taken to mean the law is empty and goes away in our walk with Christ. In this post I explore the concept of shadows and how this passage is actually affirming the lasting value of all Scripture in our faith.

I will be launching a study through the Torah in the fall but before we begin the study, I’ll be releasing an overview for each book, along with a few resources to support your reading and understanding. Here is a snapshot of the book of Genesis, where our reading will begin.

What exactly is the Old Covenant? Many Christians believe it refers to the laws given at Sinai. But what if this perspective isn't truly biblical? What if our interpretation of "old" and "new" has obscured our view of the complete story of redemption and the glory of Christ found throughout Scripture?

Doesn’t Paul say the law is temporary? Many assume Paul taught the law was temporary, but is that what his metaphor of the law as a "guardian" in Galatians 3 is intended to teach?

Many read Galatians as proof that the law is now obsolete. Faith made the obedience to the law irrelevant. But is that what Paul really meant? In this post, Itake a closer look at Paul’s statements on justification and how they echo, not contradict, the covenant language of Deuteronomy.

What exactly is biblical law, and how was it meant to function? Is it a rigid legal code, a collection of obsolete rules, or something else?
