Wacky Laws Still on the Books in America
Tuesday , December 30, 2008
From changing the color of baby chicks to shooting effigies to properly honoring the glory of the log cabin, Americans have spent valuable legislative hours throughout the years making sure we're on the straight and narrow.
As a New Year arrives, here are wacky laws that remain on the books across the country.
(Read the rest of the laws at: http://www.foxnews.com/printer_friendly_story/0,3566,473971,00.html)
Rule #1
36"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" 37Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
What does God's Story scripture teach us about what is important?
An expert comes to Jesus and asks, "Okay, you've answered every one else well, now I have a question." Matthew tells us the expert wants to know what is most important. It takes Jesus about one breath to answer the question, "Love God, love people, in that order, and everything else will take care of itself."
How can we connect today's God's story Scripture to our lives?
Here are some ways you can make God's story come to life.
- Memorize Matthew 22:36-40
- Find 3 things in the Bible that God appreciates (i.e. visiting the sick).
- Tell God how much you love Him.
- Do something to serve someone else.
How can we connect today's story, God's Story scripture, and our story to others?
- Rules and laws fill our world, school, home, and public areas. When they come up, use it as a chance to move into conversations about the rules and what God desires from us (the greatest commandments).
- At the start of 2009 there will be changes happening in our executive and legislative branches of government. As it shows up on TV and in the papers, talk with friends about how our system compares to God's system.
