Must Christians Keep the "Law of Moses" or Only The Ten Commandments? July-Aug 95 GCN p. 12 R. McNair No
Intro:
Do New Covenant Christians need to keep none of the Law of Moses, part of the Law of Moses or "the whole law" of Moses? Many Christians who profess to believe in keeping the Ten Commandments somehow fail to realize the simple fact that much of the Old Testament "law of Moses" is still binding upon every true child of God! Does this shock you? Then you need to read every word of this article!

The Weightier Matters of the Law---Part 1 Judge with Righteous Judgment Oct-Nov 97 GCN p 10 G. Foster No
Intro:
For most of us, our thoughts are now focused on the fast-approaching Feast of Tabernacles. Will we enjoy the Feast site we're traveling to? Will we be reunited with close friends or family members we haven't seen for a long time? Can we take advantage of some exciting activities that we just aren't able to afford at other times of the year?

The Weightier Matters of the Law---Part 3 The Just Shall Live by Faith Fest Planner 98 GCN p 4 T. Robinson No
Intro:
What thoughts leap to mind when you hear the word "faith"? Miraculous healing? Walking on water? Daniel unharmed in the lion's den? All of these, of course. are the outcome or results of faith. But they do not constitute faith itself. And while there certainly is an association here, faith---as we will shortly see---involves so much more.

The Weightier Matters of the Law---Part 4 The Weightiest Matter of All! Sept-Oct 98 GCN p. 7 G. Foster No
Intro:
Beginning with our last issue in 1997 and continuing into this year, the Global Church News ran what was then a three-part series on the "weightier matters of the law" as identified by Christ in His stinging rebuke of the Pharisees (Matt. 23:23). We believe these to have been among the most critical articles we've ever published. I'm sure almost all of us would agree that everything God tells us is important. But somethings are more important than others. In the verse cited above, Christ identified judgment, mercy and faith as weightier---that's to say, more important---matters of the law.

What Are the "Works of the Law"? Mar-April 95 GCN p. 13 J. Ogwyn No
Intro:
In Galatians 3:10 the Apostle Paul says whoever is of the "works of the law" is under a curse! What are the works of the law and why would practicing them put you under a curse? In the November-December 1994 issue of Biblical Archaeology Review, Dr. Martin Abegg, an American Dead Sea Scrolls scholar and a professor of biblical languages, discusses new insight concerning the phrase "works of the law."
