Life Without Rules

When I was young, Olympic boxing was one of the most respected sports. People who loved boxing followed it with great interest. It was part of the Olympic Games and was seen as a symbol of discipline, skill, and self-control.

Later, fights without rules began to appear on the streets of America. At first, they looked like ordinary street fights. But over time, this chaotic fighting style transformed into a full sport, and today these fights have become some of the most popular in the world. In sports, this can be understood.

But later, I began to notice that human relationships were also starting to turn into “fights without rules.” Moral boundaries began to disappear. Red lines were removed. It seemed that relationships, too, were becoming relationships without rules.

Then I noticed that family relationships were going through the same changes. I grew up in a family where everyone had a role and followed certain principles: a man remained a man, and a woman remained a woman. Today, these principles are being blurred, and good morals are being weakened.

There was a time when relationships between young people naturally led toward marriage. Now there are many forms of relationships without clear boundaries or commitment — again, relationships without rules. Even views on sexual orientation have changed; old norms have been broken, and once again, everything seems to become “without rules.”

The economy has also lost its stability. No one knows what will happen next.

But what pains me most is seeing that even Christianity is losing its direction. Today, people begin to preach, teach, and say whatever they want, without grounding their words in doctrine, historical facts, or even basic logic.

Sometimes I simply ask myself: What is happening?

Little by little, life is becoming “life without rules.”

But I believe that the Church of God must remain a place where the principles established by God are preserved. No one has the right to violate them. Everything must be according to God’s order.

Judges 21:25 — “In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.”
