for they repented



Luke 11:32  The men of Nin'eveh will arise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.

We think that we are more moral than generations of the past.  After all we are so much smarter, right?
Well, morality doesn't have anything to do with knowledge.  It is a matter of conscience and of the will.  There is where we fail.  Today we have no will.  We need to stand up to evil and temptation or we will be judged by those who we think less of.

Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to always look to be moral and not to rest in a false sense of righteousness.

Amen
