LAWS, LAWS, AND MORE LAWS.

You and I would not even be able to count all the

laws we are supposed to abide by.  One year the 

state I live in put into effect over 1,100 laws,

 statutes, ordinances, regulations, rules, mandates,

etc. in one day.  What ever day it is that new laws

go into effect in this state.  That of course was for

all the various cities, counties and the state.

And, I live in one of the more rural states.

When I moved into this state over forty five years

ago, we never even bothered to lock the house and

often did not even take the keys out of the car.

I SURE COULD NOT DO THAT NOW.

That's about how much new laws help.

And over the years I have noticed that about

all new laws accomplish is, cost tax payers 

more money and limit their freedom.

Am I advocating we should be lawless instead?

No, of course not.

My point is, laws do not fix the problem -

HUMAN NATURE is the problem.  And

until we concentrate on getting ourselves

right with God and our fellow man, things

will only get worse.

Laws simple do not fix it, even when it comes

to pleasing God.  God gave us some laws to

help us see where we fail.  But even His laws

do not put us right with Him.

"Yet we know that a person is made right 

with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not

by obeying the law.  And we have believed

in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made

right with God because of our faith in

Christ, not because we have obey the law.

For no one will ever be made right with God 

by obeying the law."

(Galatians 2:16 NLT)
