A sign above a cigarette case in a local store posed an interesting
moral question, and that is, “Is obeying the LAW more
important than doing what is RIGHT?”
As today’s quote from Jesus to the Pharisees emphasizes, while the LAW is good,
executing the (proper) ORDER of what is good and righteous is far more important.
However, today we live in a world where morality is not defined by
What is RIGHT, but by What is LAWFUL.
For example in times past, adultery and sodomy were both considered both
unlawful and immoral but in today’s world, laws like these and others have been rescinded
such that they there are not only legal and acceptable by many, but actually
CELEB
RATED.
While most laws are indeed good, it is far more important to practice righteousness and
godly behavior regardless of what is allowed under human law.
Friend, are you following God’s 'proper order' of decency and godliness or going with the
socially acceptable 'Order Of The Day?'
