    Manser writes: The ultimate foundation
    of ethics is the character and will of God,
    Which is made known supremely through

    Jesus and being in Hid Word regularly.

    Matthew 5:43-48

    1 John 4:7-12, 19-21


    Salvation army Handbook of
    Doctrine tells us again,
    To realize Jesus radical ethic of love is to
    treat all our relationships as holy
    covenants. God is able to love through us.
    This transformation is what makes social
    holiness possible and what enables us to
    live by the radical ethic of love.
    What are some ethical
    guidelines ??

    1 Peter 3:9,
    Philippians 2:3
    Exodus 20:12
    D. Stephen Long Writes:

    The purpose of Christian ethics is to


    help us live well, and in so doing make
    Gods Name holy. For this reason Christian
    ethics deals with most ordinary, everyday
    activites such as family life, sex and
    reproduction, economic exchange, and
    uses of power
    Are Ethics a black and White
    issue?
    Yes and No

    The issue of killing may appear black and white- At first


    God says "Don't What He actually say is dont murder.
    The difference in that deliberate killing of innocent life is
    murder. A solider killing an enemy in war is not deliberate
    killing of innocent life.Because that person is
    consciously participation in the attack of his people
    against the life of my people and he must share in
    bearing the consequences of the collective guilt
    Why is it important for a leader
    to make ethical decisions??
    Beinga positive example is very different
    than being told what decision on Gods
    Word, helping others to do the same.
    What is Character
