About this episode
Our culture is laboring with all its might to blur every line, erase every boundary, and flatten every hierarchy that God established in creation. The world wants a gray God, a gray morality, and a gray humanity. But the God of Scripture is a God of glorious, sharp, and life-giving distinctions. And here, in the heart of Leviticus, He teaches His people that this principle of separation, of distinction, is central to their lives. Why would the God of the universe care about whether or not the Israelites ate lizards or centipedes? To think that way is to miss the point entirely. These laws are not primarily about germs; they are about God. That reality is this: God is holy, and because He is holy, His people must be holy. And holiness means being set apart, distinct, consecrated to Him in every area of life.
