Exodus 19:12-15 Boundaries!

12And you are to set up a boundary for the people around the mountain and tell them, ‘Be careful not to go up on the mountain or touch its base. Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death. 13No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot with arrows—whether man or beast, he must not live.’
Only when the ram’s horn sounds a long blast may they go up the mountain.”
14When Moses came down from the mountain to the people, he consecrated them, and they washed their clothes. 15“Be prepared for the third day,” he said to the people. “Do not draw near to a woman.” (Wives)

Boundaries, we all have them! You have them when you drive, you have them as children, as adults, in school, at home, with property, in marriage etc. 
Society will always push the envelope of boundaries, such as legalization of drugs, redefining marriage, abortion etc.
Recently I heard a congresswoman call for the abolition of prisons! 
What kind of message will society receive from that? NO Boundaries!
God set boundaries because of unholiness and sin.

“Be prepared for the third day,”
“Men must come before God with the best preparation they can get.” (Trapp)

How often do you come before God?

Blessings, David
