Just because something is legal doesn’t mean that its right. Just because something is illegal doesn’t mean that its wrong. The same applies to popular things. Just because an idea is popular doesn’t make it right necessarily. In fact a lot of popular ideas and behaviors are just plain wrong. The trick is figuring out what’s right and wrong.

These days it’s really popular to believe that what’s right for some people is wrong for other’s, that right and wrong are arbitrary and vague things that can change according to who you are and your own personal belief systems. This is fine when it comes to hobbies like cooking or auto repair but when it comes to moral issues there is no right for me or right for you. There is just right or wrong. Again, the tricky part is figuring out what’s right or wrong.

Well I can tell you how to do it. I hope that doesn’t sound pompous. It’s just something that I really do know how to do. Well, it’s not actually me that’s doing it. You see, there really is a higher power out there, One who knows exactly what the right thing to do is in every single situation. And the cool thing is, He wants to tell you. He really does because He wants so badly for you to be happy and He understands the law of consequences perfectly and knows that certain actions will lead to either happiness or unhappiness.

So what do you have to do to find out what’s right or wrong? Humble yourself, clear your mind of your own opinions and preconceptions and desires, get down on your knees and ask Him. He’ll tell you.

Think I’m crazy? Try it.
