What ever happened with people being concerned about their integrity? As a child most of us are told not to lie or to say yes Mam or yes Sir, we're taught to have manners and to respect our elders. It seems that today we are in a SELF oriented mode stuck in HIGH GEAR.
I think of Matt 25: 35 - 40 and the question is ask, WHEN did I see you and you were hungry, naked, thirsty, etc. I ask the same questions today. We have people in our communities and even in our Churches that are not in the click, not easy to look at or be around and we often ignore or want to LEAVE them for some else. If CHRIST is no respecter of persons then what gives us the right to be?
How can we take care of others when we can't even get the basic principles down? If I can't be trusted to keep my word, to respect others or act Godly then how in the world can I be expected to go out of my way and against my principals, worldly popularity and will to go where I know I should?
A man once told me that God gives daily the opportunity to exercise what we know and preach.
