Correct judgments require wisdom. Godly judgments require understanding. Judging righteously requires that know the benchmark. So what is the benchmark to right and wrong? It is of course the Bible, but it is filled with laws that don't seem to apply. Do you have an ox? What about wearing mixed fabrics? Tatoos? Do you trim your beard? If we are to live by every word of God, how do these and other laws apply to us today? As we continue our series on the Weightier Matters of the Law, let's look at what it means to "do justly."
