When we decide between right and wrong, our feelings and the feelings of others play a valuable role. But that guidance alone does not always lead to a good outcome. We can be victims of own shortsightedness, failing to see the harm that our choices may cause us or others. (Proverbs 14:12) And there is no guarantee that our values of those around us are truly good for us and will not need to change. After all, certain behavior once viewed as wrong is now commonly accepted, while conduct previously thought of as acceptable is now viewed as improper.
Is there a better guide for deciding what is right and what is wrong? Is there a moral standard we can follow today that will not leave us disappointed years from now?
Thankfully, there is a source for consistent and reliable more guidance that works for everyone everywhere. The next article will discuss where we can find the most reliable guide for determining right and wrong.
