Lawlessness is a destroyer. Once you cut loose from the standards of God, once you cut loose from absolute moral standards, you are on a downward path, you will not be able to control yourself. It is a fact: people are tempted these days, in these dangerous days, into believing there is no God, there are no absolute standards set by God, that is a tremendously steep path. They will do anything within no time. Is it surprising that nowadays we have reported the most horrific and vile sins, occurring in so many families on every hand. Lawlessness – the cutting off of any duty to God, any fear of God, any awareness that there are absolute standards of right and wrong – is a steep downward path.
