Rushdoony on “Lawlessness in the Nation” I read yesterday a horrifying account of legal injustices; it was written by the top attorney of the nation’s largest public interest law firm. Here are some of the cases he cited. The conviction of a Maryland man was overturned, although the man confessed to throwing a baby down an eleven-story garbage chute. The reason? The police failed to bring him before a court within twenty-four hours of his arrest; they were twelve minutes late, so the man went free! In New York, a state judge flipped a coin to determine the sentence of a convicted criminal. The same judge had invited a female murderer to spend the night with him! In Boston, five young men gang-raped a former beauty queen and severely injured her. A supreme court judge in Massachusetts let them go free on probation and a $500 fine, to be paid at $5 a week! More stories, and worse ones, were cited. There is no point in piling up horror stories. The point is simply this, in Solomon’s words: “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he” (Prov. 29:18). “Vision” here means a faithful and prophetic ministry. “Perish” can also be translated “run wild” or “become lawless.” In other words, Solomon says that the life of a nation depends on a faithful ministry of God’s Word. Those who keep God’s law-word, the Scriptures, are happy or blessed. The lawlessness in our country is a consequence of unbelief in the pulpit and the pew. We have godless judges whose conduct on the bench is often as evil as the offenses of the men before them. We should not be surprised at the results. 📚 Taken from “A Word In Season: Daily Messages on the Faith for All of Life,” Vol. 4, pp. 84-85.
