My buddy Dave emailed me this the other day “I was listening to a BBC report on the pollution problem in China. The levels are almost, if not actually, lethal in many cities at certain times. The reporter said, “The government is going to have to do something.” The role of government is to make us do what we just won’t do under our own steam, even if it makes perfect sense, apparently. People in general, and corporations in particular, are evil. Government is our conscience, even our savior. (No, I don’t believe any of that, but it does seem to be the role we now want government to play.) I need the government to step in and make me eat right and exercise, because I just won’t do it on my own. We have given in to the idea that we need someone else to make us safe and healthy and even happy.”
My reply was this “Thanks for the insight, it does look like the “nanny state” is winning. I wish people would quit depending on anybody but God to direct their lives. We both made a choice to make God sovereign in our lives, and God gives us free will to order our lives as we see fit. As long as we follow his word and will we can live good lives!!! The state is ok as long as it doesn’t violate God’s law and principals for mankind!!! Being a good steward of what God has blessed us with, and that includes his created world, would be a better way to go. Being a good steward would respect the property rights of other, and be a better way to keep the environment clean and healthy!!!”
Daily Bible reading: Psa 119:156-160 Great are Your tender mercies, O LORD; Revive me according to Your judgments. 157 Many are my persecutors and my enemies, Yet I do not turn from Your testimonies. 158 I see the treacherous, and am disgusted, Because they do not keep Your word. 159 Consider how I love Your precepts; Revive me, O LORD, according to Your lovingkindness. 160 The entirety of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever.
Quotemeal: “Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance.” — C. S. Lewis
