When there is disorder and confusion, there is contention and social strife. The answer to this question will be the answer in solving community disorder and decay. At the root of every lawless act is sin. Because the order and peace of each community is threatened and assaulted by lawlessness, we must deal with it at the source. It is sin, plainly and simply.
Sin is the root of all social upheaval.
Yet, sin is principally a spiritual problem. The result and consequences of sin is lawlessness and criminal action. Therefore, if a community desires to deal with the outward manifestation of social lawlessness, it must address the spiritual reality of sin. Humanism cannot do this effectively. It hasn't the Wisdom or the tools to speak to this problem.
