Comparison

We all know how to make comparisons. We often compare things like right and wrong, good

and bad, ugly and wholesome. However, a major problem occurs when we begin to tear down

the standards by which we judge things. Changing our standards results in a diminishing

of the good, the right, the wholesome. To me, the Bible seems to proclaim the obvious truth

about what is right and wrong, it should be our standard! But in our fallen world there seems

to be an ever-increasing rejection of God’s standard. Even a slight distortion of what is good

or evil changes us, our culture, our belief system. Even a slight change can eventually lead to

our downfall. This is why it is so important to have a relationship with God; He will help us and

teach us and not let us fall! For our part, we need to compare what the Bible says with what

we think and feel, and we need to wrestle with the differences, but come out on the side of

obedience to God.
