I've been thinking a lot lately about how we as Christians decide what is morally good, and what isn't. On the grey areas of the Bible, it's easy for us to be relative and subjective. For me, this tends to be a struggle. And I wonder if God intended for life to be this way. The list goes on and on, where we try to take Biblical principles and apply them to thousands of scenarios. Should I listen to this song? Should I laugh at that joke? Should I eat that much dessert? All of life is making decisions that are relative to a large degree, but I have a personality that wants standards that are black and white. In past times it was much different. Our leaders wouldn't allow blasphemy in movies, stores were closed on the Sabbath, people were required to dress decently, etc. Did God intend for the Church to be so relative with much of morality? Should we be convinced on what we believe to be true with grey areas and stand firm on them, or should we have the "you do it your way and I'll do it mine" mentality?
