Wrong Is Always Wrong
Pat McGee

In a period of loose and sagging morals, Satan provides many rationalizations for improper behavior. Those who would live faithful lives must not be "ignorant of his devices" (2 Cor. 2:11). Wrong is always wrong despite our efforts to excuse our actions.

• Wrong Is Wrong, Even If You Don't Get Caught. Let us remember that "the eyes of the Lord are in every place beholding the evil and the good" Prov. 15:13.

• Wrong Is Wrong, Even If You Do it for a Good Cause. The honorable purpose does not justify a dishonorable deed or word. The end never justifies the means. All "sin is transgression of the law." 2 John 9.

• Wrong Is Wrong, Even If Others Are Doing Worse Things. It will be of little comfort to you in the day of judgment if you should be lost, knowing that others did things which you considered to be worse than your sins. Remember, "The thought of sin is foolishness" Proverbs 24:9.

• Wrong Is Wrong, Even If it Doesn't Bother Your Conscience. The conscience-can be trained or educated to accept wrong-doing, and even an honest sin or evil done in sincerity—is sinful in the sight of our holy God. “...What ever a man sows, that shall a man reap," Gal. 6:7 .

• Wrong Is Wrong, Even If it Is Commonly Considered Acceptable. The Bible says, "Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil" Exodus 32:2. The Christian should "enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it and pass away" Prov. 4:4,5. "Prove all things and hold fast to that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil" (1 Thess. 5:21,22).

Remember, There Is Never a Right Way
to Do a Wrong Thing!

The Duke of Wellington said that the British soldiers at Waterloo were not any braver than Napoleon's soldiers, but were braver for five minutes longer! A Christian's secret of success. "Be brave for just five more minutes".
