Law and Order

Modern society talks endlessly about “law and order,” yet we increasingly separate the two and the result is tyranny. Order without true, God-given law is the order of the graveyard or the gangster: silent streets, rigid control, and no justice. From communist dictatorships to local governments empowering criminals to “keep peace,” we see examples of lawless order everywhere order that suppresses righteousness rather than upholding it. America now faces the danger of restoring order without restoring law, a tactic long used by revolutionaries who create chaos so people will accept any authority that promises peace, even if it is ungodly. Scripture warns us that real justice is impartial and rooted in God alone (Deut. 1:17). When law and order are torn apart, what remains is tyranny. The urgent question facing our nation is simple: Will we demand godly law and order or settle for the deadly counterfeit?
