Climbing Companions! With the hope of ramping up the conversation about what we are reading, I have added a Group at YouVersion. I hope you will sign up. I have made it a moderated group to keep it among those of us who read on the same schedule. Please sign up and enter the discussion! Sam
Deuteronomy. While many of these regulations don't jive with our current culture, most (or all) of them paint a significant picture of God's righteous standards. Living by them not only brings Him glory, but also protects us from much pain. What do you think?
Some of these regulations are simple and practical; common sense. Some would protect the people from strife. Some would keep them from future sin.
In Deuteronomy 23:8, it says, "The third generation of Edomites and Egyptians may enter the assembly of the Lord." I wonder what that was about. Perhaps the idea was that the grandchildren of those who treated Israel with contempt and who suffered judgment from God might be more likely come to God with a true and humble heart.
