Message Notes

“When a culture has a false view of God built on bad information, God begins to remove the restraint of his law, and evil begins to grow unbridled. What you and I are witnessing today in the rapid deterioration of our culture is the reality that God is removing more and more of his restraint. When the rule of God’s law is missing, chaos replaces community. You cannot have order and structure in society without God, and men and women becoming enslaved by the very freedom they seek.” —Tony Evans
