Leviticus 26:1–13

About this episode
We live in an age that is pathologically allergic to cause and effect. Our entire culture is a grand and tragic experiment in attempting to sever consequences from actions. We want the peace of a godly society without the Prince of Peace. We want the prosperity that comes from diligence and thrift while celebrating sloth and envy. We want strong families while tearing down the very definition of marriage. We want to harvest a crop of righteousness, but we are sowing rebellion, foolishness, and idolatry to the wind. And then we are perpetually surprised when the whirlwind arrives. The book of Leviticus, and this chapter in particular, is a bucket of cold, clear water thrown in the face of our drowsy and incoherent generation. It presents us with the unassailable logic of the covenant. It is not a random collection of disconnected events.
