All laws reflect somebody’s sense of morality …

Whether right or wrong.

This doesn’t mean, however, that laws have the ability – or governments the power – to make us virtuous.

That seldom works and often morphs into tyranny.

Rather, Scripture says that government should protect us from evildoers …

So we have the liberty, of our own volition, to pursue virtuous lives as God directs.

A government which oversteps those bounds …

Oversteps its legitimate, God-given authority.
