Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government's purposes are beneficial … the greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but without understanding.
~ Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis, 1928
Virtually all reasonable laws are obeyed, not because they are the law, but because reasonable people would do that anyway. If you obey a law simply because it is the law, that's a pretty likely sign that it shouldn't be a law.

Psalm 22:27-28: “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the Lord's, and he ruleth among the nations.”

That third one is curious; but overall I think I agree.
Thank you for these, Reverend.
Oh, they have zeal, alright...
I miss the Constitution.
I heard it's making a comeback...
Linda, the writer was stating half-seriously that the U.S. isn't using the Constitution anymore. In large part, Congress has been ignoring it for more than 120 years.
TB, zealous is certainly true.
Ed, I've heard much the same thing. Please, Lord, may it be true.
I didn't realize it had been that long. Thank you for explaining, Reverend.
