I was just watching NCIS. Ducky ‘s protege asked the difference between ethics and morals. Ducky responded, “An ethical man knows it is wrong to cheat on his wife. A moral man will not cheat on his wife.”

I really believe that one must ask Jesus Christ to live in him. I also believe that one then must let Jesus Christ live in him.
I believe that when a perosn does this, it allows that person to essentially govern himself. The fact that Jesus is in you is the limiter of evil, that relationship is the self governor, that which will guide a person when there is no other earthly force guiding that person.
Your quote regarding the ethical man and the moral man is excellent, I fully agree with that.
