Leviticus 8:10–13

About this episode
We live in an age that despises definitions, distinctions, and boundaries. Our culture is in a frantic rush to blur every line God ever drew. They want to erase the distinction between male and female, good and evil, sacred and profane. The modern spirit is the spirit of chaos, a return to the formless and void condition of the world before God spoke His ordering Word into it. This is not progress; it is a regression into primordial sludge. It is a rebellion against the very grammar of reality. Into this deliberate confusion, a book like Leviticus lands with the force of a meteor. This book, and this chapter in particular, is God's great taxonomy lesson. It is a detailed, painstaking education in the concept of holiness. At its root, it means to be set apart, to be distinguished, to be consecrated for a divine purpose.
