    What Does "morality" Even Mean?

    Contributed by Ian Hyde on Nov 24, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,149 views

    How do we define morality in an increasingly relativistic, materialistic world? When we realize our inherent blind spots, we find that morality must be rooted in something outside of ourselves, and only the example of the incarnate Christ is firm foundation enough for discerning right from wrong.

    What lessons beside who is my neighbor can be found in the Woman at the Well narrative? Actually, quite a bit. This lesson is that Jesus was not in favor of a centralized building for worship. This restricted the LORD who was spirit and existed everywhere.

That's like choosing the world's temporary pleasures over God's lasting love. That's like choosing the ...read more
