LAW BREAKERS
by Lewis E. Thomas We are by God's definition all "LAW BREAKERS" undeserving of His Grace! The Cross of Christ paid the price for the charges that we all faced! God's Word says we are to render unto Ceasar the things that belong! We are "not to break the laws of the land" doing things that are wrong! Some of us are quick to "JUDGE" our neighbor for "his" unlawful deeds! Without looking within our "own heart" that has some serious needs! If I break the laws of the land and "I justify it" with no guilt or shame! Why do I want to see my neighbor prosecuted for doing the same?
