What Are Your Moral Values? May 26 2012
"Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord'...and I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me you who practice lawlessness.'" - Matthew 7:22-23
The New York Times ran a front-page article on the life of strippers in Las Vegas. It seemed they had heated up the controversy on stripper etiquette and whether it was right or wrong for them to engage in prostitution. One stripper even said she would never engage in prostitution because she "had God in her life." I wonder what God thinks of that.
We all have moral values, but are they the right moral values? The fact is, everyone has a moral philosophy - some code of right and wrong. Most believe passionately in their code--even the mafia. In ancient Israel when the people turned from God, the Bible says each man did what was right in his own eyes. That is America today. All kinds of evil are rationalized in the process. God may be given lip service, but His Word on morality is ignored.
The greatest moral philosophy is found in Jesus and in God's Word. Ignore this and you'll be amazed at what you'll find yourself justifying.

Yes, report it NevermindJudgmental are we? This one sounds like it was written by a Pharisee. Obviously we all need help. Even the author of this judgmental blurb.

Yes, report it NevermindJudgement belongs to the Lord.
On judgement day, each of us will stand before God. We will not be judged on what we thought about what others whom we knew were up to. We will be judged on our own sorry record.
None of us will be found innocent. Only to the extent that we put on a new self in Jesus will we be able to stand before God in righteousness. This is the essence of our personal relationship, with our personal Savior. It is a fearful and wonderful thing. It is beyond understanding, because it is all grace.
