We are all accountable to laws. It is by the law that we are able to live peaceably and order is kept. The law is good.

You shall preserve them from this generation forever. 8  The wicked prowl on every side,
When vileness is exalted among the sons of men. This Psalm is increasingly becoming a correct description of our world today. This Psalm is not focusing on the sin of man, but something much more si
