Live Responsibly

"I think people need general ethical principles 
and tools to then apply critical thinking 
within their faith communities 
to responsibly live out 
their called-out lives in secular society. 

Once we have a book of how-to, 
people tend to follow without thinking. 

What we need is a way to teach ourselves 
to reflect critically 
and make sound and wise decisions 
to live out our faith. 

I find people tend to be want to told what to do. 

But I think what they need 
is to learn to live responsibly 
as disciples of their faith. 

Guidelines, 
yes, 
but strength of will 
to make ethical choices 
comes from having the mind of God 
and that means different things 
to different people."
