(Hey Christine, I thought we were in Deuteronomy? We are, bear with me …)

The written record of the Ten (and the Torah) are like a mirror, and looking into it explains to us what walking in love looks like. Likewise, the love of God is like a mirror, and looking into it explains what keeping the Ten (and the Torah) looks like. We need both of them, and they will always agree and uphold each other. Some are unbalanced on the side of the Word as the Pharisees often were, who exacted tithes of mint, dill, and cumin while neglecting mercy; and some are unbalanced on the side of the Spirit as many modern evangelicals are, who indulge the flesh while neglecting truth, holiness, or obedience. The Word and the Spirit always agree.

(As we are going through Deuteronomy, I am going to be referencing Learning Righteousness and Wickedness from the Ten Commandments, the most in-depth study I have done of Deuteronomy to date. Each summary section contains numerous sub-section studies within it. I can only highlight one of the studies each day, but if you have time to go through all of them, I think it will bless you.)

Psalm 100, Reverse parallelism (additional studies: Psalms Book Four, Psalms 90-106, Index)

John 4, The woman of Samaria (additional studies: John Index)
