I haven't posted in a while, and to be honest I haven't even really been checking but something is eating at me, and I honestly think The Lord has been telling me to say something so here goes...
No matter what, I think everyone should always strive to do the morally right thing in every circumstance. I'm guilty of not always holdin true to that, so I'm not condemning anyone. But society tells us "live and let live", the turns around and says "If you see someone doin something wrong you should speak up." AND THEN turns around and refuses protection to those who do speak up.
You can't have it all people.
Here's what's weighing on me. If you see or hear of someone doing something that has the potential to get someone injured or killed, step up and blow the proverbial whistle. In addition to that, if you are in the crowd and "whistle blower" starts getting persecuted, step up and stop it, or you're no better than the person who had the whistle blown on them. Don't allow people trying to do the right thing to be treated like a lepor. It's wrong. Period. I'm tired of watching the world go to crud because everyone is too scared of retribution to stand up and do what's right. Look around your workplace, I'm positive you'll see what I mean.
Ok I'm off my soap box now.

the average person can get very narrow minded...and most of the time they focus on a symptom and not the cure...I reckon they just don't like to see the real truth...we all have heard the term selective hearing...well we can call it selective reasoning...   |

Well the way I look at it I don't try to offend people but I don't care if I do. I believe you should do the right thing no matter what anybody else says or thinks. I try to love my neighbor as best I can. The Bible does not say to be nice or even like your neighbor just love them. I love my kids but I will spank them if they need it. Just like that I will speak up when it is called for without any concern for who might get upset. I just do the right thing. Then let people do what they want but I will stand my ground. When Saul was confronted by Jesus Saul had been persecuting Christians not Jesus. But Jesus said "why do you persecute me?" So as long as I am loving my neighbor they will answer to Jesus. So I don't need to get upset or get even. I know that God knows everyone's heart and I am not without sin. So I do what is right and let God deal with everyone else.
