We are called to pursue what is good. The World system today is filled with much greed, independence and evil. Many people are confused as to what is good. Very often the interpretation is “what is good for me”, which is not the correct interpretation. Our measuring stick should be – What is good for God’s Glory and then what is good for other people.
