@isabelkaplan I have a photography business on the side, and after every single shoot or day of editing, my husband reminds me that he thinks I am amazing for running a business. He always is gracious with my busy schedule and encourages me to take this endeavor as far as I can dream
Some think the only reason for the various laws in the OT was to show us we’re all sinners in need of a savior; that’s a poor reading of the Bible. Laws reveal the character of God & the calling of the people of God. Laws function in a fallen world to restrain the effects of sin.
