Does God Care How You Cook Your Goat?

It is one of those biblical commands that has always perplexed me. If it appeared just one time in Scripture I might be tempted to pass it by. But it appears no less than three times, in Exodus 23:19, Exodus 34:26, and Deuteronomy 14:21. The repetition tells me that God is quite concerned that his people pay attention to his command and obey it. The command is this: “You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.”See Also10 Things You Should Know about Christian EthicsStrange Fire Conference: A Case for CessationismHas Anyone Seen God?

This week’s Free Stuff Friday is sponsored by P&R Publishing. They are offering Perfect Unity: A Guide for Christian Doctrine and Life to 10 winners. The world is tearing itself apart over identity politics. What is the answer? Recognizing that two things can be distinct yet inseparable.  This concept—rooted in the writings of Augustine, John Calvin, and others—is in fact key to understanding some of the most precious truths about God, humanity, and salvation. Written to Christians of all ages and backgrounds, Ralph Cunnington’s systematic guide to Christian truth presents a challenging, orthodox message that is desperately needed today. “Brilliant and concise, rooted in pastoral experience, with an abundance of striking examples, this is a great book for new Christians and older ones alike.” —Robert Letham, Senior Research Fellow, Union School of Theology ENTER GIVEAWAY HERE There are ten copies to win.
