What is right and what is wrong?

The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul;
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;

The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;

The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;

The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; 
The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

More to be desired are they than gold, 
Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them Your servant is warnedAnd in keeping them there is great reward. (Psalm 19:7-11)
There is much debate today over what is right and what is wrong.  Yet much of the debate could be settled by simply reading God's Word! Yes, I realize everyone in our society does not not regard the Word of God as eternal Truth. Yet for the Christ follower . . . the disciple of Christ, His Word is Truth and will always be Law! Just read the psalmist's words above.

While many like to twist His Word in regard to marriage, relationships, when life begins and ends, ownership of property, and the like, it is clear on the major issues. Our decision is to read it, believe it, and live it. (John 20:31) Compromising the Word of God by siding with popular social and political issues is simply SIN.  Refusing to believe it is a clear sign of one not having a genuine relationship with Christ!

After all, who wants to be with someone they don't even agree with anyway? What about you? Do you agree with God or have you been swayed to believe the twisted lies? When God's Word is put to question, there is only one answer . . . . God has the final say!
