THE ULTIMATE AUTHORITY

(Proverbs 22:6) Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.

I was a child in the 1950’s.  Even though my family did not consistently attend church, I was well aware of the Ten commandments and Christian morality.  I was disciplined when I did wrong, so there was a clear understanding of what was acceptable behavior. All the people around me were aware of what was right behavior. Since then, our society has greatly diminished moral training and discipline. What do we have in place of these things?

My answer to this question is the government.  It seems to be the goal of the liberal agenda to replace God’s laws with the government’s confusing definition of morality.  Right and wrong placed in the hands of sinful man spells disaster and opens an opportunity for Satan to carry out his evil plans to kill, steal and destroy.  The lines of right behavior have already been greatly blurred.  We have created an environment of confusion for our younger generations, and the daily news is full of the results of this confusion.  The government is supposed to support correct behavior not define it.

This world belongs to God, and he is the ultimate authority.  He has defined for us the right way to conduct ourselves.  We cannot replace God and expect a good outcome.  God alone is righteous, and he alone has the ability and the right to define our morality.
