Discernment between good and evil is the prerogative of God alone. Hatred is rampant and human kind is deeply divided over the essence of the right way to live. We must examine ourselves and see where we stand. As the world takes pleasure in unrighteousness, do we love to have it that way? There is only one moral high ground — to follow the word of God and to love the Truth.
