A
SENSE OF RIGHT AND WRONG
Donald
R. Fox
I am a very simple man. I have known, and I have
a sense of right/wrong since I was a young boy. I am a Christian,
and I have obtained this sense of doing right and avoiding/rejecting
that, which is wrong. It seems to me a very simple “know how”
when you have the facts or obvious decisions to make. It is very
easy to know what is right. You can mark that down.
AN ILLUSTRATION OF AN INCIDENT
REFLECTING A CHOOSES TO DO WRONG.
(Incident time line September
2013 through February 2014)
Like many of us, I have pondered this recent
traffic tie up over the George Washington Bridge. Governor Christie
stated he did not know about the lane closures. Other sources state
he knew. At this point, I will leave this quandary alone. I
will only use it to illustrate the huge dilemma of many not knowing
nor acting on right and leaving wrong as wrong. For shame on any
person that knows what is right and chooses wrong. Sadly, many could
not care less about that which is right and wrong.
LET
THE SCRIPTURES TEACH US THE KNOWING OF RIGHT AND WRONG.
“The
statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment
of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.” (Psalm 19:8 KJV)
“For
the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.”
(Psalm 33:4 KJV)
“I
know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in
faithfulness hast afflicted me.” (Psalm 119:75 KJV)
“I
have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right
paths.” (Proverbs 4:11 KJV)
“The
thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked
are deceit.” (Proverbs 12:5 KJV)
“And
shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it
pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes,
sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with
you; Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin;
beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous
practices; cursed children: Which have forsaken the right way, and
are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who
loved the wages of unrighteousness;” (2 Peter 2:13-15 KJV)
End
Note: For the Christian or one who desires to enjoy a virtuous life
it is undeniable that the Word of God will always direct us the way
of righteousness.

that involved Governor Christie and the contradictions.
