You make the decision first.

Don't wait for the temptation to come and then figure out what you're going to do.

The way you live right, the way you make every effort to add to your faith goodness or moral excellence is you decide ahead of time.

I'm going to live legitimately.

Hello, and thanks for stopping by for today's Destin for Victory with Pastor Paul Shepard.

It's always pleasure to have you with us.

When you plan a family vacation, you have to make a lot of decisions where you're going,

how you'll get there, what to pack, and you decide those things well in advance.

Well, the Christian life is a journey.

You're headed towards a destination, and to get there, you have to make decisions ahead of time.

Today, you'll hear about some of the choices we as believers need to make, and you'll be reminded that right now is the time to make them.

Now, here's today's Destin for Victory message, prove it.

Our country is in the shape it's in because somewhere along the line, we allow too few people

to dictate to the majority and to say that morals have to be relative and your reality is not

my reality. And just because you say it's wrong doesn't make it wrong and everybody ought to be free to dictate according to their own conscience and then you complain when you see crime well how's crime wrong if everybody gets to decide what's wrong, the criminal said, it's not wrong.

So they held you up and jacked you.

What you complain about?

You don't believe in objective morality.

See, we can't have it both ways.

There are some things that are right.
