God's Word serves as a plumb line for all people. It is an unchanging standard of expectation for all of His creation. We have His Word, His Spirit and the grace of His Son by which to evaluate the condition of our lives against this standard. Though thought of as a curse by those who want to deviate from it, the ease with which we can accord our lives against that standard makes it preferable to our own ways. 27 November 2016 Paul, Idaho
