Before we begin today's episode of renewing your mind, we invite you to stay with us through the

end of the program to hear how you can request today's featured teaching series from Ligdair

Ministries.

We're not just talking about pure lawlessness here.

Again, there are many people who believe that the New Testament has its set of commandments

and that obviously as Christians we are obligated to obey the rule of Jesus Christ and the

law that he gives to his people.

But again, the question is, what about the Old Testament law?

Hello and welcome to the Friday edition of Renewing Your Mind. Today we continue our study of the significance of the Old Testament law in the life of a Christian.

Some Christians think that because we're under the new covenant now that the law isn't

relevant, but as we'll see today, the law of God is indispensable.

Let's join Dr. R. C. Sprole.

Recently, I had the opportunity to teach a course to men who were studying for their doctor of ministry degree in the

seminary. And in the opening day of that course, I sprang a pop quiz on them, which of course

is the bane of every student in every classroom. I asked them in the opening moments of the class to take out a piece of paper,

a number from one to ten. And then I proceeded to give them one question. I said, please write down

on this paper the Ten Commandments in order.

And after sufficient time had elapsed, we had them check their papers.

Mercifully, I didn't collect them, and asked them simply to grade themselves, and discovered that 20% of these pastors who were working on their doctor's degree in ministry were able to get

all of the Ten Commandments in order.

80% were not able to do it.

And about 50% of them were able to name all 10, but we're not able to do it in order.
