Positive Law vs. Natural Law

~who do you think will win~

First lets lay out the definition ...

Positive Law- law set up by a soveirn ex. King, constitution

Natural Law- what is morally acceptable according to personal perception - what you think is right or wrong

I was sitting in my business law class tuesday night as my profressor started discussing the "fight" between positive and natural law. He used this example...

Stealing- Its against the positive law, but in some cases, according to natural law its necessary or okay to steal such as, "he was starving so he stole food from a grocery store." Regardless in the end, no matter what the excuse he will get in trouble for stealing because positive law will always triump natural law. ALWAYS!

This got me thinking! I do this alot with my walk with God. Christians do this alot in their life as well. Positive law represents what God and the Bible says and natural law represents your convinctions and flesh. The fight between our flesh and what God says has been going on for ages...and the war will never end, but the fight can be weakend when you gain a relationship with God!

Unlike politics, God actually cares lol and most importantly civil disobediance doesn't work. In the end you will either obey or disobey.

When Jonah's natural law took control he was swallowed by a whale, but when, oh, but when he obeyed and called on the Lord not only was he freed, but he saved a whole city!

Blessed are those who hear the Word of God and obey and practice it! Luke 11: 28

when you obey positive law and ignore your natural law or change your natural law...

hahha YES change it...strengthen your convictions!!!!

...God will in return bless you and be able to do great things through you!!!

All we need is a little

Peace ...

& less

*HAPPY NEW YEAR*

I already went over in my last blog how crazy this past year has been so this post isn't going to be a reminiscent of 2010! No instead this post is going to be highlight of 2011!!!!!!

I wont say this past year was a waste, but looking back I did nothing, well not enough for God's Kingdom atleast. So, I've made up in mind 2011 I will do everything I possibly can for God! No matter what that may be!

I'm going to try to go on a missions trip, teach some bible studies, reach out to the younger girls at my church, and I don't know exactly, but whatever opportunity comes up I will take it in a heart beat!

I'm sick of being the average christian! Just going to church, praising God, reading my bible and praying! All those things are GREAT but God calls each of us to so much more. Mark 16:15 Go ye unto the world, and preach the GOSPEL!!!!!

I could look back on my life and think wow I'm such a screw up, I'm not meant to preach the Gospel by any means, God doesn't want to use me blah blah blah! Believe me when I say, I just as much as everyone else has no right to do anything for God's Kingdom, but that's why I do have a right! Because I've been there, I've done that and through it all I'm still here loving Jesus with everything I have:)

If I can do it so can you. This is a new year, new beginnings, a BLANK CANVAS sits before you. What you draw on that canvas is totally up to you. You can let the world and the people around you draw what they want on it, you could draw what you and your flesh wants on it or you can let the God who drew this beautiful world on His blank canvas draw a beautiful and blessed life on your canvas.

I'm so excited about this year, this is the year that GREAT things are going to happen. Miracles are going to happen, Blessings are going to be evident and Burdens are going to be lifted and on top of it all you and I are going to step out of our comfort zones and take this world by storm!

ARE YOU READY?!?!?!?

With love,

Ally <3
