Whoever does so, will not be shaken forever (Psalm 15: 5)
Bruce Weinstein is known as the "Man of Ethics". His books and seminars challenge people to make decisions based on principles, not convenience or self-interest. In his business workshops, he often asks participants, "Why do we have to be ethical?" He revealed that most of the responses referred to the benefits of honesty and morality, namely avoiding punishment and following a pure conscience. While Weinstein acknowledges the long-term benefits, he also emphasizes that we should do the right thing because it is the right thing to do.
Psalm 15 gives a clear picture of a person whose conduct grows through his fellowship with the living God. The question "Lord, who can ride in Your tent?" (verse 1) is answered with examples in daily life, “He who acts blamelessly, who does what is just and who speaks the truth with all his heart” (verse 2). It is further described about honest relationships with neighbors and friends (verses 3,4), as well as integrity in business and financial matters (verse 5). This psalm ends with the words, “He that doeth this shall not be moved for ever” (verse 5).
The ethical life is more than a concept only discussed at various seminars. Ethical living is an effective way to demonstrate the presence of Christ in our lives.
