Just Because It's Wrong
"and because I consider all your precepts right, I hate every wrong path."
Psalm 119:128
Said ABC Nightline's Ted Koppel one night:
"We have actually convinced ourselves that slogans will save us. 'Shoot up if you must, but use a clean needle.' or, 'Enjoy sex whenever and with whomever you wish, but protect yourself.' No! The answer is no! Not because it isn't cool or smart or because you might wind up in jail or dying in the AIDS ward, but because it's wrong!
God doesn't need a reason, some things are just wrong.
Prayer: Ask God to help you focus only on those things that are right in His eyes.
"Once we assuage our conscience by calling something a "necessary evil," it begins to look more and more necessary and less and less evil."
~Sidney J. Harris
