Those who bind the laws and regulations of man around the necks of those they seek to control usually begin with something small and then add to it.
Oklahoma bill would bar drivers convicted of DUI from buying alcohol – This is the type of bill which appears somewhat reasonable when people first look at it.
However, the idea that someone can be punished for life for non-lethal crimes is heading somewhere.
The idea of lifetime punishments ALWAYS looks reasonable when it begins. It began by barring felons from buying or owning guns. Next, it progressed by requiring those convicted of sex crimes to register as sex offenders for the rest of their lives.
It goes against the idea of a person receiving punishment for the crime, paying his “debt to society” and then beginning his life anew.
Since lawmakers NEVER do anything for the “good of their constituents” (unless said constituents are extremely wealthy), then there’s another reason for this bill.
Now, what can that reason possibly be?
Satan is the father of lies: he almost never starts out where he intends to go. The devil corrupts by degrees.
“A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.”
—Galatians 5:9
Beware any laws which bar people from buying and/or selling. It’s a philosophy which will not remain restricted to alcohol and DUI’s. The mystery of iniquity will always have a super-good reason for restricting people from buying or selling.
“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”
—Revelation 13:16-17
Beware any changes which restrict the ability to buy and sell.
It is–and will continue to be–a sign of the times in which we live.
BUYING and selling will continue to be restricted.
There is a reason for this.
THERE is still time to change direction (repent) and place one’s trust in Almighty God and His Son, Jesus Christ.

THE GOSPEL
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:”
—2 Corinthians 4:3
