There is an epidemic of this in the world today. What was once called situational ethics has, primarily due to the slime of "higher education" oozing down into public schools as it morphed into each person having "their own truth."
Proverb of the Week
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes,
but the LORD weighs the heart.
- Proverbs 21:2 (ESV)
In the book of Deuteronomy, Israel is warned against everyone doing what is right in his own eyes, and Proverbs 12:15 even warns that “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes”, In the book of Judges, twice its stated that “In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes” and both times this was associated with the nation falling into sin and disorder. The phrase “there was no king in Israel” suggest that the rule and leadership of a king would counteract this practice of every man doing what is right in his own eyes, but we live in a democratic republic and have no king, so are we left with no way of discerning right from wrongs? By no means! I would simply remind everyone that we do have a King. King Jesus. He is on his throne and right here in our Bibles he has left sufficient guidance to know what is right in the eyes of God.
