The Law for the Lawless
How to Restore Order in the Home, the Church, and the Nation

In our current day, lawlessness seems to rule. For too long we have ignored God’s gracious means for having an orderly society and have rejected the power of God's law.This book recovers a vital yet neglected doctrine, the second use of God's moral law, as a means of restraining evil, upholding justice, and preserving order in a fallen world. Rooted in Scripture, historic Baptist confessions, and the wider Protestant tradition, it makes a clear case: God’s law still matters—not just in His church, but in His world.With sharp clarity and rich application, Pastor David Mitzenmacher shows how God’s law shapes life in the home, the church, and the nation. Packed with real-world case studies and practical tools, The Law for the Lawless is essential reading for anyone seeking a moral anchor in an increasingly chaotic age. Inside this book, readers will find:A biblical explanation of the second use of the lawClear teaching on law, gospel, and Christian ethicsPractical application for family, church, and societyHistorical insight from the Reformed traditionGuidance for navigating modern moral confusionA defense of God’s law as good, wise, and necessary for public life
