Moral Wisdom

    To understand what moral wisdom is, we have to understand what morals are.  Morals are knowing what is ethically right and prudent.  It is a standard of behavior or belief's in what is right and wrong.  As a Christian, we have the Bible as our guidelines and it never changes.  

    Where the philosophy comes in is with the ethics.  Every culture has it's own code of ethics.  There is the Christian culture, work culture, and society culture that you have to deal with and sometimes the code of ethics do not match.  What do you do?  How do you handle those situations?

    To live a Biblically moral lifestyle, you need to know what ethics should be followed.  You need to know what God commands from you.  The only way to know this is to personally read it, meditate over what you read, and pray through it until you really understand and to stick in your mind.  This does not happen in a day, but knowing what God expects and choosing obedience is a wisdom based life.  However, when a situation arises, you will have God's Word in your heart to guide you.

    When you learn the knowledge from the Bible and understand what it means you have treasure beyond anything the world can give you.  God is the only one that can give you this gift.  The more you submit to His authority the more you understand the power it gives you.  The more you understand what is just and right.  This is a good life path of integrity.  You will have the power of discretion to guard you from evil.

    If you choose to follow your own path and ignore God's direction, then you willfully enter into darkness.  You will find yourself lost and confused.  It may be fun and exciting in the beginning, but it takes from you things you don't realize until it is too late.  You will be influenced by perverse evil that will deceive you and lead you to eternal death.  It shortens your life and quality of life by being twisted and distorted mentally and emotionally.  

    God's path is the only way to avoid the emptiness in life.  God's righteousness leads to a blameless thriving life that will end in an eternity of peace.  It is a life of compassion, love, integrity, and wisdom.
