No longer compromising with the law

Susan Schueler Bradway

How fast are you driving? I asked myself this question as I was driving over the legal speed limit and cars were passing me one after another. Most of us were driving as though we had decided we didn't agree with the speed limit signs.

I started thinking about obedience and what it means. "How could I get past slipping into minor violations of the law?" I asked myself. "And why should I?" I reasoned that since man is the image of God, the one lawmaker, he expresses obedience by reflection. The reflection of God cannot go off on its own and "do its own thing." God's man really can't help being obedient!

To the material senses, man appears to have his own mind with its own will, but this is a false concept of man. Because there is only one God, one Mind, each of us individually expresses this one Mind only.
