Laws Change Hearts

Laws Change Hearts

All laws have moral foundations and all morals have religious foundations. Politicians make laws, hence all politics are religious in nature. “Train up a child in the way he should go, when he is old he will not turn from it.” (Proverbs 22:6) The purpose of man’s law is not to change hearts but to restrain evil acts by heartless individuals. The original purpose of the Law is to show us our need for the Savior.

In the year prior to Roe V Wade the legislatures of 33 states debated abortion and voted against it. Now after the Supreme Court ruling a baby may be legally killed at any time before their head leaves the birth canal. The statistics surrounding single parents homes, after no fault divorce became legal and common, in all but one state. Statistics show 80% of all felons come from single parent homes and there is a 4000% greater risk of our wives and daughters being violently sexually assaulted by males raised in a single parent home. If these facts make you feel defensive consider that as proof of changed attitudes through changed laws.

We have a responsibility to create a safe and healthy society that reduces suffering and oppression by promoting healthy families. God’s greatest desire is to wrap us in His arms and comfort, forgive and assure us that His love truly is sufficient to make us whole after the liar has deluded us so much. Mike Hanson
