Have you noticed that a new code of ethics has replaced the Ten
Commandments in our country? People who would never use a
racial epithet think nothing of taking God’s name in vain. “O my
G…” has become commonplace, but has no meaning.
A man who would shrink from disturbing a rodent is not
uncomfortable with putting thousands of people out of work,
stealing their livelihood.
People who would be embarrassed to make a Hindu uncomfortable
do not mind ridiculing a Christian student in a public classroom.
People who mourn over injustice done to a whale do not shrink
from lies and slander to deny a Supreme Court nomination for their
political rival.
A man who would insist on a woman’s right to equality will not
hesitate to cheat on his own wife, and leave her in poverty in order
to marry a younger and snappier woman.
A woman living in poverty because of her husband's infidelity hates
Christians who defend Biblical morality.
A woman who would not eat canned tuna to protest the dolphins
that are caught in the tuna nets murders her own unborn child.
A person who insists that there are no certain moral principles is
certain that Scriptural morals are wrong.
There is a certainty here: man cannot be without morals. If he
abandons biblical ones, then he will substitute others for them. He
will zealously pursue his revisionist morals, and persecute and
defame those who disagree with him, all the while accusing
Christians of hypocrisy when they defend theirs.
Christians of hypocrisy when they defend theirs.
But the laws of morality and decency are as fixed as the order of
the universe, because the Creator is the God of both:
the universe, because the Creator is the God of both:
Ps 119:142 "Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and
thy law is the truth."
thy law is the truth."
Mt 15:9 "But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the
commandments of men."
commandments of men."
