Avoiding Israel's Mistakes

"But that's Old Testament law, that's not for the Church." How many times have you heard this, or even said this? The Bible is the whole counsel of God, not just the New Testament. Israel's civic life, government, and laws are instructive and applicable for us today in the modern world thousands of years later. How to apply them takes wisdom and understanding. Christians should be leading the way in this area since we have the revealed will of God.
