Living on High Moral Grounds

Tweet

With the changing times and the constantly shifting fortunes of people as dictated by the ebb and flow of economics, many find it hard to cope with the demands of such phenomena. One consequence, we see the erosion of the moral fiber of the society, beginning with its basic unit, the family. The far reaching effects of this can be seen in the family's disintegration - the growing statics of juvenile delinquents, divorces or marriage break-ups, high crime rate, violence and the like are tell-tale signs that people's morality is going down the drain. And this is not at all good, for it makes human life more unbearable and chaotic as it already is. Morality is supposed to make life in society decent and acceptable, for it embodies the rules, values, and the principles of conduct that people ought to follow to live a pleasant, decent, and socially acceptable life. However, with modernity come different rules governing people's morality. and the level of such morality is measured based on the permissiveness of society- the more liberal society is, the lower the level of mortality becomes. With the increasingly challenging times and environment. Based on II Timothy 3:15-17, "You have been taught the holy Scriptures from childhood and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It straightens us out and teaches us to do what is right. It is God's way of preparing us in every way, fully equipped for every good thing God wants us to do." We should base our conduct of life, our behavior, and our moral values on teaching of the Bible.
