Being unprincipled is always being short-sighted, no matter now “wise” it may appear to some.
Being principled is always the practical thing to do over the long haul, because the natural law is that you reap what you sow. Some crops take longer to mature than others, but this has always been true, and it will remain true as long as this creation lasts.
Agreed. But what does “unprincipled” mean?
The Lord said we are to be as innocent as doves and as wise as serpents. What does that mean?
