Wise Words On Wednesday: The benefits of the law
Last week on Facebook I was on a thread which was discussing abortion. One person said that they believed abortion killed a human life, but she also thought it should be legal. This seemed like a very strange opinion to hold, so I asked why she thought this way. The response I received was as follows:
“Ethical behaviour is not brought about law, all that brings is the fear of being caught.”

I responded to this using my favourite Martin Luther quotation…
“It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can stop him from lynching me, and I think that’s pretty important.”
Martin Luther King Jr.

Wise Words On Wednesday: TWo Huge Lies
Our culture has accepted two huge lies. The first is that if you disagree with someone’s lifestyle, you must fear or hate them. The second is that to love someone means you agree with everything they believe or do. Both are nonsense. You don’t have to compromise convictions to be compassionate.
Rick Warren
