I was having a discussion with a group of students on Sunday. I asked the question about a time they showed servant hood. A student told me about how he let a friend borrow his textbook so he could do his homework. Initially it sounded good and legit. He continues to tell me about how his friend would give him the book back with all of the answers to the homework. He tells me this as if it's no big deal. My reaction to him was that that's not being a servant, that's called cheating.

What gets me about students in general and I believe more so this generation of students is that moral lines are not just skewed, but they're re-drawn. What was thought to be immoral several years ago, is just normal everyday life now. How do we as followers of Christ flow with the culture all around, but still keep our morals firm? I think that's a battle we will always be fighting.

By the way, you mistyped your link from your other blog...but I found you.

Moral relativity is rampant. I think almost everyone would be surprised to find that even they are crossing lines and not realize it. I know as I study the Bible and the way Jesus was I see big gaps between what I believe and what he expects. I am amazed at all the lies a I have bought into in our modern day marketing of lies.
