Words from the Fire


I have just finished reading Albert Mohler's book, Words from the Fire. In this book Dr. Mohler shows how the Ten Commandments are not just a relic from the past but is extremely relevant to us today. As he goes through each of the commandments he shows that they apply to our lives today and our relationship with Christ. He shows that they are not simply rules to obey but shows us the very heart of the Gospel. I found his sermons on the Commandments better but I do recommend this book to all Christians. It is interesting that some want to make the Commandments rules for life as if we come into a saving relationship by obeying the commandments while others write them off as having no relevance for us today. They want to talk about grace but grace is meaningless without judgment and judgement is meaningless without seeing the holiness of God. The Ten Commandments show us that.
