Laws are important. Policies are important. Government leadership is important. But, in the end, they do not have the power to change the world. They will always leave you wanting more. Longing for more. Hoping for more. Needing more. Even the perfect law of God, handed down on stone tablets and codified by God’s Word was not enough to change the world. It took a crucified and resurrected Jesus, who dwells within us through his Spirit, to turn the world upside down. The primary failure of the church throughout history has not been the failure to enact laws. The church has failed whenever we have been driven primarily by what culture allows us to do rather than by what love compels us to do.
