A License to Sin? (5 of 7)

Galatians 5:13-26
About two months before I turned sixteen, I made the biggest purchase of my life to that point. I bought a car. You know, lots of guys that I went to high school with got cars. Their dads would buy them a car when they turned sixteen. It was a pretty cool deal to have a car when you turn sixteen. I had one friend. His dad was very well-to-do, and he got him a 1978 brand-new Trans Am, Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am. I think I have a picture of it. His was red. Burt Reynold's was black. But his was red.

I got that before I turned 16. And my parents, I don't know why they did this, but they let me drive before I had my license, and it was kind of like, "Don't get in a wreck. Don't hit anybody, but here you go." And so, I'm driving along illegally, don't have a license, just have a learner's permit. But when I turned 16, as was the case for all my friends, you turned 16, the day you turned 16 you go to the DMV because you want to t ...
