Choice

Our culture puts a high value on our "right" to make choices, our "right" to define good and evil according to our individual standards.

God doesn't agree. He isn't "pro-choice" when it comes to moral values. He values right choices, and He warns us that some choices are harmful, dangerous, and evil. 

"There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death."  Proverbs 14:12

Sin separates us from God (Isaiah 59:2), causing our prayers to hit the wall (Psalm 66:18). Sin leads to self-deception (James 1:22-23), and eventually leads to a seared conscience (1 Timothy 4:2).


God gives us the same advice He gave Cain about choices:
 
"If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it." Genesis 4:7

God's commands protect our hearts and souls.

Our culture loves choice. God loves us.
