Feb 5 - God Lays Down The Law

Today God is giving the laws as to what should happen if there is a dispute between two people, if there are burning thorn bushes and the fire burns out of control what should happen to who. Lots of that in today's reading. The strangest one I see if Anyone who has sexual relations with an animal must certainly be put to death......uuuhhhhh ok I would think once they realize they are getting it on with animals they would want to throw themselves off a cliff!

The Lord also says "You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but on the seventh day you must stop working." I want to hang that one above my desk at work:) It is so important to have your sabbath day to recharge. Thankfully I have a wonderful wife that reminds me from time to time.

In Matthew today Jesus is telling eh disciples what the signs will be that the end of the world is near. "Many will turn away from me and betray and hate each other. And many false Prophets will appear and will deceive many people. Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations will hear it; and then the end will come." Well doesn't a bunch of that sound like current times:) Sin will be rampant everywhere....the Internet can prove that. The love of many will grow cold.....Divorce Statistics Worldwide
