Finally we encounter "Covenant" intertwined with "Commandment", but what does it mean to perform?

The lesson topic "Covenant Law" covers some themes we've already explored in recent episodes (such as the election of Israel). We anchor our conversation in Deuteronomy 4, where it is anticipated that God's "statutes and rules" will cause Israel to become the envy of the world. It is particularly fascinating that the Covenant here is described as something we are commanded to "perform".

Yet again technical issues have altered the recording - this week Ken's audio went missing. Editing has restored most of the continuity, but you'll have to imagine your own contributions in places where we refer to wise thoughts from Ken!
