Day 75: Deuteronomy 14-16

Good note: Although we no longer must follow these laws about food, we can still learn from the lesson that holiness is to be carried into all parts of life. We can't restrict holiness only to the spiritual side; we must be holy in the every day practical part of life as well. health practices, finances, use of leisure - all provide opportunities to put holy living into daily living.

As far as helping the needy, I think we too often view this is "extra credit." Like it is not a requirement, but rather just a good idea. In chapter 15, it is pretty clear that not taking care of the poor is sin.
