"Polish a Terd....It's Still a Terd......."

So I was having this conversation with my friends one time about relationships, and we started talking about different escapades that we had done. One buddy started talking about how he managed to get a girl to break up with her boyfriend just so she could date him, and then dump her. Quickly chimming in, my other friend also shared a story about taking a girl out to a movie with the soul purpouse of making out with her. It was none the less a losing battle on my part trying to defend the idea that God didn't like it. It was funny though, because as I began to ask my friends why they did these things, different answers arose. One of my buddies put in bluntly that he was just...well....lonely. It then dawned on me though within my own life...."how many times have I justified something I have done in my life?" "how many times have I made right what was wrong in God's eyes, just so I didn't have to own up to it?"

If we all looked in the mirrior at ourselves, we would probably be able to come up with one instance in our lives where we have done this. "Justify the unjust". Its weird though because as I look back on my own life, there have been NUMEROUS times where I have done this. Especially when it comes to confessing something that I have done. I mean, there are secrets I have from things that have happened, that I will take to my grave. But why? I mean, if we look at God theres nothing but forgivness there for us, and if we look at what Jesus says then essentially we need to confess our sins to each other. Yet, we still feel this urge as people to hold onto this stuff.

When in history did man decide that he was better than God? When did man decide that if they do just the requred amount, that it was ok. When did man decide that as long as I had a good reason, or if the situation required it, that it was ok?

Its not ok!!!!! Its not ok to be loose with women, its not ok to steal if your hungry, its not ok to lie because its someones birthday, its not ok to do what you want because it makes you happy, its not ok for gay people to practice there sexual things because "everyone deserves happiness"

When did we start making compromises in America regarding our morality? When did I start in my own life? I'm not saying that a hungry person who steals is a horrible person, but maybe if we took charge and started taking care of our homelsss, these bad decisions wouldn't be an option.

If its one thing I've learned about God, He will always provide a RIGHT way to do something, He will never let you do EVIL to justify the good of an act. No matter what it is.
