When we decide between right and wrong, our feelings and the feelings of others play a double role. But that guidance alone does not always lead to a good outcome. We can become victims of our own shortsightedness, failing to see the harm that our choices may cause us or to others. (Proverbs 14:12) And there is no guarantee that our values or the 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 ow 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 moral guidance that works for everyone everywhere. The next article will discuss where we can find the most reliable guide for determining right and wrong.
