“The wrath of man does not accomplish the righteousness of God” ~James 1:20 A lot of people in the U.S. are “outraged” over the transgender push to allow men to use women’s bathroom’s and locker-room’s (and vice-versa).

10 Commandments- Keeping the Name of God
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnxB2gRkvmQ REVIEW An important note from last week's lesson is that the whole of the law and prophets rests on the premise of God's redemptive act: Deut. 5:6 Hosea 13:4 Example- Lev.19:36- note that God appeals to His redemption of Israel as the base for why Israel must have honest scales; this is the case …
