About this episode
We live in an age that prides itself on its casual approach to just about everything, and particularly to God. Our worship is often shaped more by our preferences than by His precepts. We think of sincerity as the ultimate virtue, assuming that if our hearts are in the right place, the specifics of how we approach God are of little consequence. We want a God who is big enough to create galaxies but small enough not to care about the details of our lives or our worship. But the book of Leviticus stands as a stark and glorious rebuke to this entire mindset. Leviticus is the book where our modern sensibilities run aground. We read these intricate laws about sacrifices, garments, and ashes, and our first temptation is to dismiss it as archaic, irrelevant, or just plain strange.
