Some say "THE Law" is old and out of date. "God's way of doing things by 4,000 years ago isn't valuable or practical for 2012," would be the world's mantra. However, take a look at this portion of Exodus 23 and note how practical, timely and essential this law is for us to follow:
You shall not follow the masses in doing evil, nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to turn aside after a multitude in order to pervert justice; (Exodus 23:2)
This verse ought to be tattooed on every politician's forehead. We only have to read the daily paper or watch the daily news to see how many times a "ruler" of the day "turns aside" to the masses, or bends their testimony to agree with the multitude in order to pervert justice. The same is true with many rulers in many industries and organizations. "Group-think" has replaced "God-think". "Group Feel" has replaced "Godly Wisdom." This is a law of God that has no time limit. It is based upon the character of God, not the whim of the populace. This is a law based upon principle not passion. Let's make sure we understand that God's laws are never out-of-date and they never lack a place to be applied. Don't bend your path to follow the broad way. The narrow road leads to life. Don't seek the common ground, seek the Godly ground.
