0:00.0	And it helps us think about the law of Deuteronomy. These aren't kind of dry, dusty documents of, you know, merely case law for civil courts.
0:12.7	The law is teaching the people of God how to live in the world that God created, right?
0:17.6	He's teaching them how to live according to the grain of the world.
0:20.9	And it's the application of God's law to every area of life, which causes them to walk in
0:25.3	wisdom, which, again, is the same thing.
0:35.1	Welcome to episode 55 of Bible Talk, a podcast brought to you by Nine Marks. Nine Marks
0:39.6	exists to help pastors build healthy churches for more. You can visit Nine Marks.org. My name is
0:44.6	Alex Duke, and with me are my two friends, Sam Amati, Jim Hamilton. Now, guys, last week we kicked off
0:49.9	the beginning of the end of the Torah. We talked about Deuteronomy chapters one to three.

1:28.2	the look forward that we have in 31 to 34. Then in chapters 4 to 11, you have motivation to obey the
1:35.3	covenant. And then in 27 to 30, you have a covenant ceremony. And then at the center of Deuteronomy,
1:40.5	12 to 26, you have covenant stipulations. With chapter four comes the beginning of this
1:44.5	new section on motivation to obey the covenant. I wanted to bring up an illustration that I was
1:50.0	looking at in my notes from when I was a student under Dr. Hamilton, and he used this illustration
