The
church is not called on to define morality. God already did that.
What the church is called to do is to defend and live a life consistent
with what God has already established. And we should understand what
the response will be:
"the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their deeds were evil."
"If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own."
"the world does not know us because it did not know Him."
The morality that Jesus and His disciples taught and lived is not compatible with the world's morality and life style. And it never will be. But we are called to teach it and live it. Every day, every place we go, no matter who we are with. It's called integrity.
