Facade
A.W. Tozer, in his book, The Pursuit of God shared this prayer: "Lord, I would trust You completely; I would be altogether Yours; I would exalt You above all. I desire that I may feel no sense of possessing anything outside of You. I want constantly to be aware of Your overshadowing Presence and to hear Your speaking Voice. I long to live in restful sincerity of heart. I want to live so fully in the Spirit that all my thought may be as sweet incense ascending to You and every act of my life may be an act of worship. Therefore I pray in the words of Your great servant of old, ‘I beseech You so for to cleanse the intent of mine heart with the unspeakable gift of Your grace, that I may perfectly love You and worthily praise You.’ And all this I confi dently believe You will grant me through the merits of Jesus Christ Your Son. Amen." Key Passage: Matthew 5:33-37

Right or Wrong
What would happen if we had no laws? What would happen if everyone simply set their own standards and own agendas for what was right and wrong? Could society survive? Judges 21:25 says: "There was no king in Israel, and everyone did as he saw fit." Our North American culture is not too far removed from that statement. We are told that "no one can tell us how to live;" that our choices and preferences are simply private matters of conscience and that no one has a right to "legislate morality." But where will such thinking take us? Romans tells the story of people who cast off the restraint of God's law, and the chaos that ensued. We would do well to learn from their example. But here's a difficult question: Do we have the right or responsibility to enforce our view of right and wrong on anyone else? Key Passage: Romans 1:18-32
