Thank you for your wise thoughts, Lisa. I especially appreciate them having had the opportunity to spend a few days getting to know your beautiful heart and also knowing your professional strength as a counselor.

In the first Bible study I wrote we spent a week examining the issue of character as part of a godly legacy. In that week of the study I quoted Charles Allen who offered four questions to ask when making moral decisions. These questions go right along with your question today. The four questions were: 1) Would you need to keep it a secret 2) Where will it lead you 3) Which is your best self 4) What would the person you admire the most do if he/she were in your situation

Choices have consequences and we are all wise to consider well those consequences in all circumstances.

I love how you distinguish between liberty and lawlessness. Though lawlessness always amplifies self, I believe for many the emotional pay-off they receive as a result is far stronger than the still small voice of God’s truth. The immediate cost of truth may make some unwillingly to acknowledge or receive it, yet as you aptly describe, “It will be deadly not to listen.” Thanks for your words, your gift and your heart.

Blessings,
Lisa Murray
