I've been listening to this song by Derek Webb that is pretty true and pretty convicting about the way we live as Christians. It's sad that this is the attitude of many Christians, and we are all guilty of this. Read the lyrics and then go listen to this song. It's on his Mokingbird CD. Then post your comments or how it spoke to your heart.

"A New Law" -Derek Webb

don't teach me about politics and government
just tell me who to vote for
don't teach me about truth and beauty
just label my music

don't teach me how to live like a free man
just give me a new law

i don't wanna know if the answers aren't easy
so just bring it down from the mountain to me
i want a new law
i want a new law
just gimme that new law

don't teach me about moderation and liberty
i prefer a shot of grape juice
don't teach me about loving my enemies

don't teach me how to listen to the Spirit
just give me a new law

i don't wanna know if the answers aren't easy
so just bring it down from the mountain to me
i want a new law
i want a new law
gimme that new law

'cause what's the use in trading a law you can never keep for one you can
that cannot get you anything?
do not be afraid
do not be afraid
do not be afraid...
