Re: SEU (Southern Eastern University) updates
We teach our children that following instructions in little things like doing the dishes or taking out the trash prepares them to be trusted with big responsibilities later in life. Being dependable in small matters is directly related to being dependable in large matters. Whatever happened to the idea of being honest? Honesty isn't just encompassed by words that you speak--it's a lifestyle. You live transparently, honestly and openly before others.
Deception is NOT a part of the Christian's walk. Period.
Luke 16:10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
This IS a character issue. If a person can't be trusted to be honest regarding small matters, (assuming anyone considers this to be a small matter) they also can't be trusted to be honest on bigger issues. It's that cut and dried.
Luke 16:11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
To insist that a small act of deception doesn't matter is ridiculous, particularly from a Christian standpoint.
