Two Kinds of Rules

 

There are two kinds of rules in the world: rules that are made by people and rules that are natural laws.  Let me explain.  If there is a stop sign at the end of your street, it was put there by the city council.  They can change it if they want to, because they put it there in the first place.  They can change it to a yield sign or to a traffic light or they can do whatever they want to do.  But there is another law that I like to call the law of fire.  And that law cannot be changed.  If you put your hand in fire, it will get burned.  No city council can rescind the law of fire.  Hey, some of us think that we can live our lives however we want to.  We don’t think that the rules apply to us.  Rules are just good ideas to live by when we can and when we want to.  But there are some laws laid down by God that are like the law of fire.  We can’t get around God’s laws, no matter if we like them or not.  Solomon said it best in Proverbs 14:12, “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”  God’s way may seem restrictive and we may not want to follow God’s laws, but we do so at our own peril.  God made us, and God knows what is best for us.  And if we follow God’s laws, we will live a happy, fulfilled life - both here and in the world to come.  Hey, read all about it in the Bible. Why not read it right now instead of these posts on facebook.  Hmmmm ...
