Romans 3

Let me start off this post by saying how incredible and amazing God is. There's something beautiful in the fact that He will never leave us or forsake us, and that's something that was brought very clear to me last night, but that story's for another day.

Romans 3 is one of those chapters I really wish I could ignore altogether. Mainly because I'm stubborn, and more specifically, I don't like being told what to do. It's here in this chapter that Paul stresses the importance of not only following God's law, but also the laws made by government officials.
To me, some laws are just flat out stupid. Let's take speed limits for example. If any of you have taken a drive down Odom in Maumelle, you understand that 35 mph is more of a speed for napping and reading the newspaper than it is for making a voyage home. My solution to this problem is changing these speed limits to Kandace Parker limits, and Kandace Parker limits are 50 mph**.

**Notice: I will more than likely get yelled at by my criminal justice majoring parents for admitting to such conduct.

"Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God's sight by observing the law; rather, through, the law we become conscious of our sin."
Romans 3:20

So laws are important, they're something for our conscience to chew on. God delights in those who can handle obedience. Whether it be from Him, or the round, obnoxious lady cops that tell my dad what time I'm driving home on Saturday nights. I guess it's time for me to listen more to what I'm told, and maybe slow down in neighborhoods. Maybe.
