About this episode
We live in an age that has declared war on definitions. Our culture has taken a sledgehammer to the load bearing walls of reality, and then stands bewildered amidst the rubble, wondering why nothing makes sense anymore. They want justice without a standard, morality without a lawgiver, and rights without responsibilities. It is an attempt to build a house in mid air, with no foundation and no blueprint. And the result is the chaos we see all around us, a society that cannot distinguish between a man and a woman, between a victim and a criminal, between life and death. When God delivered His people from Egypt, He did not leave them in the wilderness with a set of vague spiritual suggestions. He gave them a comprehensive blueprint for a just and righteous society. This law was not a burden, but a grace.
