In a world of political correctness, the golden rule still applies and is an easy principle to live by. “Do unto others as you want others to do unto you,” Matthew 7:1-5. Unfortunately, even Christians struggle to live out this lesson taught by Jesus. Some where along the way, people have lost the ability to treat one another in a fair and decent manner.
Recently, I have been dumbfounded by the lack of caring I see between Christians. I am not sure if certain people think they are exempt from certain principles of the Bible, but there is a growing disconnect between leaders and servants. One of the things I learned from my parents is that there is a right and a wrong way to treat people. However, I see an ever increasing mentality of do as I say, not as I do.
Its no wonder that young people are confused today. There are not enough Tim Tebow’s in our culture who are the real deal, living out their faith instead of just talking about it. Rather, it appears there are more people like Ananias and Sapphira in our communities, living a lie. Pray for your local neighborhoods that people skills will be revived, the proud will be humbled and genuine believers will shine like stars, Philippians 2:14. When this occurs, the golden rule can once again become a vital part of society.
