Public opinion and personal feelings are a poor moral compass.

Public opinion and personal feelings are a poor moral compass. The pages of history are littered with atrocities committed by people who were convinced by public opinion or their own sense of justice that they were doing the will of God. The only sure guide to moral action is scripture because it is God’s unchanging revelation of his will. God’s word has always been counter-cultural and unpopular. But it is timeless and unchanging, as God is, and if you understand it correctly, it leads you to self-sacrificing love for everyone you encounter.
