Who is Your Neighbor?

Sometimes laws are created in an attempt to legislate love. The problem with creating a law to legislate love, is that so long as their is a law on the books with the threat of retaliation for disobedience to that law, you can not know if love is the motivation for obedience.


Laws are a threat to freedom. It is our responsibility to control our own actions that laws are not needed. When laws are not needed then we will realize the power of freedom.



God gave us freedom knowing that failure was possible. He knew that we would make mistakes. With freedom comes a great responsibility. The responsibility to change, to become better, to improve our surroundings, to love our neighbor and expand our definition of who our neighbor is.
 Teach your children to become better than you and to love more. Encourage them to recognize their conscience that they may understand what is right and what is wrong from within, so that laws are not needed.
