## Resource

Why does it seem as though Christians hand pick certain commands and ignore others? Christians say to follow God’s Word but then they don’t follow their own example. Could it be that Christians are hypocrites? In this episode, Michael will address this question and give a simple explanation why some things in the Old Testament do not pertain to Christians today. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/ WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/ NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5 BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/ CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.org My goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3 CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.
