Plains-clothed enforcement officers helped the RCMP to target unsafe drivers on PEI this fall. At major intersections, significant numbers were caught texting, having spirited phone conversations, surfing the internet, or on social media sites. As a result, accidents are happening and people are getting hurt because of distracted drivers. But until attitudes change, the problem will not be solved. In other words, change must happen on the inside before behavior is modified. Interestingly, the Bible teaches the same principle. Any amount of self-imposed behavior will not make one a Christian. It is only when the heart is changed by the power of God that one becomes a true child of God. The New Testament says, “if anyone is in Christ, he (or she) is a new creature. Old thing pass away, all things become new.”
