SPECIAL ABBREVIATED EDITION: Sanctification and Its Two Main Graces

When it comes to legislation, many Christians look to the "law of Moses" to flesh out what is right and wrong and, increasingly, to determine what sanctions should be applied to certain wrongful acts. It is part of the "whole counsel of God," but is there a way to flesh out this law out that is "spiritually minded" vis-a-vis "fleshly" or even "carnally" minded? Today, David offers a context for thinking about those laws that he believes is spiritually minded, and begins to apply it to legislative efforts to "end abortion now."

Is there a spiritually minded way to think about the application of the juridical sanctions in the Mosaic Law to ending abortion?

Being Spiritually Minded About the "Law of Moses" for Today.

Today’s short limited edition is an excerpt drawn from John Owen’s treatise, The Grace and Duty of Being Spiritually Minded." It is an important precursor to this coming Friday’s episode in which I will begin to offer my application of this excerpt to present efforts to end abortion now. We must be "spiritually minded" (Romans 8:6) about the subject of law, because "law is spiritual" (Romans 7:14). Owen addresses a deceitful allure that can keep Christians from being so minded.

Because "law is spiritual." What main things keeps Christians interested in politics from being spiritually minded about it?

SPECIAL LIMITED EPISODE: On Being Carnally or Spiritually Minded About Law?

Today David looks at how some theonomists and abortion abolitionist might respond to what he said last week about Paul's 3-point summary given Timothy of what obeying the law of God means. Is it antinomian? To that end he considers what Paul meant when he told Timothy that some who desire to be teachers of the law don't use it lawfully because they neither understand what they say or what they affirm.

When thinking about the laws governing society, what are we to make of Paul's statement that the law of God is good if used "lawfully."
