Break Those Laws

 












It seems that in our society today, there is such a push to redefine laws.   

Murder is wrong, but abortion is okay.

It seems as though people, in general, want to make the laws say what they would like it to say.

It can be very frustrating. 

In all of the ado about defining laws and making other things okay that are not okay,

I am happy to report that there are still ten laws that God wrote.

They can not be changed or rewritten.

God gave us ten moral laws that can never be changed.  

They are from old and yet we all have problems just following those ten laws.

We can try to adjust them or make his laws say what we want,

but we can't.

No matter how we try to change them, they are as solid as the physical laws like gravity.  

Physical laws cannot be easily altered without consequences.  

If I decide that I do not want to obey gravity and jump from a ten-story building,

Gravity will show up and remind me that it is still the law unless another law steps in,

that is the law of grace and mercy.  

When grace is applied, sin is ruled by the grace of our beloved Lord.

So as we look at society with no moral absolutes, it is good to remember, 

the right will always be right and sin will always be sin.  

It does not depend on us or our opinion.

God has spoken

Doctors and Taxes

Tonight, I’m doing something I absolutely hate.  My husband and I are working on a budget.  I imagine that most of you feel the same way. It’ kind of like taxes and doctors, we dislike them and breathe a sigh of relief when they are done. Truth be told; we really don’t enjoy working on a budget at all.  Yet it is one of the necessary components in knowing exactly how much you have and what you can spend. If indeed we are responsible to God for how we handle the resources that God has given us, then we need a clear picture. One piece of the puzzle that can bring the whole puzzle into focus is a budget.  It allows you to see and compare what you spend with what you have.  Sometimes as I’ve done a budget and looked at what I saw, I could see that the problem was little things that add up.  I realized that the problem was that I forgot the advice I had been given long ago, little things add up.  As we do a budget, we often see little things th...

Perfect for Me

Tomorrow my sweetie and I will be celebrating twenty- nine years of marriage.  What an amazing journey!  I have to confess that when we were first married I had some preconceived ideas of what love and marriage would be like.   I thought love was having my spouse with me all the time, holding hands doing everything together, never having a disagreement.   I thought my darling sweetheart would never let me down or hurt me and everything would be perfect for the rest of our life.   Wow!  Can you believe how incredibly naïve I was?  After twenty-nine years what I realized is that no one could live up to the ideals that I had set because we live in an imperfect world and we are imperfect people.  I know, you’re thinking, “It took you twenty-nine years to realize this?” Nah I realized it after the first year.   I still smile how over the years God has changed my definition of love.  Don’t get me wrong there is n...

Everyone's Doing It

“So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.  Romans 14:12 A few days ago I got a new cell phone.  I did my homework, and since they did not sell one that I wanted in store; I ordered it online.  As I was waiting to pick it up on Saturday, I noticed that there was a sign that said the store was offering a fifty dollar gift card when you bought a smartphone.  I thought, wow that would be so awesome to get a gift card.  I asked about the gift card and was informed that I had to have gotten the phone that day.  The lady said I could return the phone I bought and then rebuy it so I could get the discount.  I was extremely tempted because I really could have used the gift card.  After I had thought about it; I decided that, for me, it would be wrong to do that since I had bought it earlier and returning it and buying it back just to get the gift card seemed deceptive. I was told that everyone does that. That was the kiss of dea...
