At Matt's suggestion, I have posted some blogging rules. Credit for the text comes from his Presbytery. I merely edited them down a bit but I think they are superb. The rules are posted here: http://www.puritanboard.com/blog_rules You can also find them on the side bar.
I'm currently reading Durham's Exposition of the Ten Commandments, which is excellent. I highly recommend it to all. The rules are an excellent example of how the Ten Commandments command us to consider not only what God forbids but what He positively requires of us toward Him and our neighbor. Is it not fascinating, given all the prohibitions in the Ten Commandments, that the Law is summed up by Christ by positive commands?
We, who are Christs, ought never forget that Christ kept the Law perfectly but, as those transformed by the Gospel, we ought to be all the more motivated to perform the principles of the Law out of love and motivation toward our Redeemer. Please consider the rules posted and let's discuss the rules as well as the nature of the 9th Commandment.
