Here are six things you should know if you break the law, whether it is exceeding a speed limit or taking something that belongs to someone else:
- God is bound by His Word to back up those who establish the laws, not you.
- Even if you are not caught immediately, the consequences will eventually catch up with you.
- Know what living on the inside of a 4'X6' prison cell feels like, because that will be your future home.
- Go down to the local jail and meet the criminals. If you choose to break the law, they could be your best friends.
- Get a job making 50 cents an hour. That's about what they'll pay you in prison.
- Realize that smaller violations will slowly but surely lead to larger ones. It will become a downward spiral that is difficult to recover from.
