So I've been watching the most recent season of Private Practice. I waited until the season was over so I could watch them all in order and at the timing of my choosing. It's a blessing and a curse, really, as now my entire life is devoted to frivolity and not to necessity. I'm just hoping the dirty dishes will eventually bother Aaron ;) Nah, I'll get to all that.
The reason I bring this up is that this season has basically been about ethics. It's interesting to see how they deal with situations coming from a non-Christian standpoint. There is clearly a good and bad in most situations, but not so much a right and wrong. Ethics seems to be defined by the man himself and in many situations lately, seems to super cede that of the law. This brings up an interesting question in my mind. When is it ever ok to do the wrong thing for the right reason? Almost everyone I've ever talked to tells me scripture isn't black and white. So what? Does my allegiance to Christ super cede the law? I know he says give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to honor your mother and father. But if either is asking you to blatantly contradict what is black and white in scripture, what do you do?
