OF ONE MIND

To do a right thing is a right thing
To do a wrong thing is a wrong thing
To do a good thing is a good thing
To do a bad thing is a bad thing
To do an honest thing is an honest thing
To do a dishonest thing is a dishonest thing

So many moral and ethical things are not painted gray; they are not in-between, somewhere in the middle, or maybe-maybe not… they are clearly defined and understood. If things are not one way or the other, they often turn into ‘values clarification’ or some other humbug definition that permits sleazing down the middle of decision-making without commitment to much of anything: ‘I’m just not sure…let me think about it.’ That is waffle walking.

James, an apostle, called this “a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.” (James 1:8) The term double-minded is literally ‘a chronic doubter,’ wavering and uncertain. I say it’s just kicking the can down the road.

“A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart.” Jesus
