MY FRIDAY MORNING started with an interesting discussion with a student about the works and thoughts of Dostoyevsky.  Since I didn’t know much more than the average English major on the topic, we ended up discussing the strange relationship between the law and freedom in the Christian life.  The student was trying to understand why always seem to return to the side of law, even though we have experienced freedom in Jesus.

During the conversation, I mentioned a song by Derek Webb.  Hours later, though, I thought of an even better example of a song by Webb that deals with the issues of freedom and liberty in the life of following Jesus.  The song, “A  New Law,” is from the album Mockingbird, which I remember getting on a trip to North Carolina a number of years ago.  Take a moment and check out the song below.  You may not agree with everything he says, but he gets the thought across well.
