Does your conscience ever bother you? Maybe it should. God's love is defined by the ultimate moral values found in the Bible.

You don’t hear the word “scruples” much anymore. Perhaps too many people have lost their scruples or no longer let scruples affect their actions. Do you have scruples? Where do scruples come from and how do you get them?

Have you ever seen so much confusion? Today’s events and the decisions being made on a whole host of issues are frustrating. Far too often, our leaders’ actions defy common sense.

Opposing opinions and a divisive spirit result in social unrest in a wide variety of areas, such as education, health, masks, vaccinations, crime, policing, climate and the environment, energy, national borders and immigration, politics, voting, the approach of and limits to governmental powers, marriage, gender, sexual identity, race, economics, and a host of other cultural issues.

“Something wicked this way comes,” said the second witch in Shakespeare’s play Macbeth, act 4, scene 1. Macbeth is a play about the evils of unrestrained ambition and murder.
