This Tuesday, September 1st, hundreds of new laws adopted during the Texas legislative session will go into effect. One of those laws makes it illegal to use a cell phone while driving in an active school zone, unless using a hands-free device. The Lubbock police department has said it will not enforce this law here, basically because of the costs involved in posting specific signs, without which officers cannot enforce the ban. There are no immediate plans to post these signs.
This made me think, "Well geez, then that law is useless here. There's no point." Although it is a good safety guideline, that law is not binding because nobody is enforcing it.
Then that reminded me of Moses' law in the Old Testament. Sure, some of those laws are good guidelines for living, but that law is not binding. Why? Because nobody is enforcing it. (Rom. 8:1-4)
