Yesterday, i mentioned the movie Overcomer. There were several hard calls that many of the characters in the movie had to make. It made me think about doing the right thing. Sometimes, it's clear. This is right and this is wrong. At other times it is so hard to know what to do. This usually occurs when it involves other peoples lives. When in doubt go to prayer. Ask others for wise council. Find out what the Bible says, and never ignore your gut.

Apart from Christ we can’t do the right thing. We all fall short of God’s Glory. God is a holy God and demands perfection. Jesus who is God in the flesh lived the perfect life we couldn’t live and died for our iniquities. All men must repent and believe on Jesus Christ. He has made us right before God. Jesus is a believers only claim, not good deeds.
