January 11, 2021 Did God create us unable to keep his law?
"You be nice!"
(George Costanza from the show, "Seinfeld")

November 30, 2020 What does God require in the sixth, seventh, and eighth commandments?
Billy helps us dive into the complexities of three commandments that otherwise look pretty simple: don't murder, don't commit adultery, don't steal. But are they? What is the spirit that undergirds these rules for life? What are some ideas for how to teach and raise kids to understand these kinds of commandments?
