My ideas, imagination, constructs, philosophies and definitions are all slanted by the perspective regarding the judgments I personally make in my bubble.  How then does any one stand and review circumstances that are so disfavoring to their participants that we collectively, immediately, robustly and resoundingly disassociate ourselves with their actions and proclaim them offensive, vial or dishonorable?  Have we visited collectively to determine those things we find vulgar to humanity, those things deserving reproach and condemnation.  Is it that all are familiar with human moral history to a level that each man and woman makes the similar pronouncements?  What then of a man’s behavior regarding his vow to business, wife, family and king?  When these vows of commitment are violated or betrayed what makes it so clear that we all find it abhorrent?  How is it so rapidly labeled as unacceptable and demeaning behavior worthy of broad condemnation?  Is being honorable built into our superstructure?

Betrayal may not occur without the existence of primary trust.  Trust is a dependence upon a certain agreement or set of ideals leading to a lowering of defenses and allocation of access and assets to the person endowed with this consideration.  When trust is violated by betrayal, uncannily it hurts all of us or we share empathically in its harm.  For nothing is closer to the truth that makes us humans that the choice of those we deem worthy of being within our primary or secondary bubbles through the allocation of trust.  But what makes this such universal understanding?  Are we as ants, bees and other beasts of field who have a DNA, sensory or telepathic code of ethics that may not be violated by anyone with the community?  Perhaps?  Have we all read the same literature and come to a agreed determination that those who violate the oaths of their position or friendship should be banished at least temporarily?  Or are you becoming aware that the Lord placed certain Truths within our memory before birth that we know some things just are wrong and right and other boundaries when violated are especially painful?

Psychologists, philosophers and cosmologists would have you believe behavior is learned and therefore it is the collective indulgence of learning that brings about the transformation of man into something greater than current or previous understanding.  Why then have we always violated those trusts we have with common man of adultery, theft, lying, envy and assault, knowing fully these actions are cause for banishment or dissolution of relations?  Because simply they are so egregious and so painful to our internal mechanisms as they are representative of the sin located within each of us that is abhorrent to our collective understandings given us by God.  Being dishonorable is one of those violations that bruises or damages the senses and limits the possibility and probability or boundaries of further relationships following betrayal or ignoble act.

We crave honorable men and women of virtue, that we might have a clear understanding of the benefits of association or mimicry of such grand minded individuals.  However, when they let us down it is especially problematic for the damage is of a greater permanent nature changing, transforming the ideals providing foundation for our trust.  That is why it is paramount that church members be especially mindful of the vision and review placed upon their actions and behaviors, for in so violating a trust we may turn a person from God.  Additionally, we must sound caution’s message to our own perspective in holding some men or women in honorable regard and the potential that provides when they fall from that glorious perch upon which we have placed them.  All have fallen short of the glory of God, none is righteous, no not one.  All are in need of the Savior, the only saviour Jesus Christ the King.  It is to Jesus we ought look for salvation, lifestyle, behavior and trust as all men will fall short of the paradigms in which they’ve been capture by sin.  Betrayal is painful, Trust is precious, Men betray trusts, God never does.  In God WE Trust is not just some motto it signifies and understanding of the balance between humanity and the Righteousness of God.

Trust God. He alone is worthy of our worship, praise and complete commitment without the diminishing capacity of doubt and worry.  All of Me is Yours My King.  In Jesus’ Holy Name.
