Channel: Halting Toward Zion
Date: 2020-08-31

In approaching the topic of the First Commandment, we come to--surprise! The gospel, because God's plan was always to conform us to the image of His Son. Every human action is religious, because the very existence of humanity is for the sake of covenant with God. So if we are in Christ, everything we make and do is holy and acceptable to God for His sake. That applies to philosophy and art, as well as to our daily vocations, relationships, even hobbies.

This Episode Features: The First Commandment and the Cultural Mandate; While Poseidon's Away The Greeks Will Play; Bacon Grease; Spoon Collecting; The Great British Bake Off; Learning Obedience; Heidelberg Snark; and Bach's Toccatas.
