Rand Paul would probably vote for incest too and no I’m not joking.

RE: RAND PAUL’S MORAL COMPASS

It’s time to take moral issues away from
Govenment and return them to the family.

The “Hearth” of the Matter, By Jo Nuvark

When CONSCIENCE has lost its delicate sensibility, and its power of direction, there seems to be only one method of restoration, and that is by placing it alongside of a pure standard of right and wrong, as the magnetized iron which has lost its virtue is restored by being bound up for a time with a correctly pointing magnet. McCosh

Most can agree that society’s sense of right and wrong is blurred. The “world” reaches into our home through movies, literature, television and music. Much of it is positive, then a lot of it is coarse, offensive and blasphemous. My nine year old son, who attends a conservative Christian school, takes a full four days to memorize his weekly Scripture verses, yet he will easily pick up “street talk” and aggression from a 20 second commercial or a casual encounter with a mouthy peer. Though we can’t control all of it, through discernment (Ephesians 5:10 and 11), we can identify the “enemy” and prepare a strategy.

Ignoring this enemy is as foolish as ignoring a serious illness... it will eventually undermine your sensibilities and send you adrift into confusion and acceptance of what God tells us is not acceptable to Him (Ephesians 5). Satan is a liar and a deceiver (II Cor. 11:3). He has the knack of disguising evil with enough good (or humor) to make it palatable. What we absorb is really poison (Proverbs 23:6, 7 and 8) can cut us off from our loving Father in heaven (Psalms 30:6 and 7).

Fundamental to discerning right from wrong is reading your Bible. I have found Scriptures relevant to my every need, speaking to every modern application. Your Bible is true north!

The Holy Spirit makes us aware of areas in our lives that are not pleasing to Him (Romans 6:12, 8:26, 27, Galations 5:16, 17). The Scripture “edifies” this awareness. If one of our children displays an unacceptable behavior, together, we search out what God has to say about it (Ephesians 6:4). If correction is necessary (Jeremiah 10:23 and 24, and Hebrews 12:10), I want my children to know that I’m not just making this stuff up! God made provision for everything, through His Word, use it.

Women who love the Lord God and desire an intimate relationship with Him through His Son Jesus Christ, need to be bold in their home and set a standard, not only for their children, but perhaps for themselves and their mates as well (I Peter 3:1). God knows we cannot be perfect (Psalm 143:2 and Galations 6:5), but if you’ll let Him, He will guide you lovingly into Christ likeness (Romans 8:29 and 30).

Even secular experts agree that children model their parents. Fathers and Mothers impact their children more profoundly than we could ever imagine. So the term “walk the talk” becomes significant (I Timothy 4:12). Bring it home, set bold standards and set your compass in a direct line toward Jesus Christ.
