Fox news carries an article regarding Hillary Clinton taking responsibility for the confusion over the terrorist attack on 911. They say she blames “the fog of war” on the confusion. Please excuse me for saying the following: “The fog of war” describes a mental lapse due to extreme hardship under extreme conditions. Explosions, screams, smoke, and threat of imminent death, are usually present during “the fog of war”. I thought the attack was in Libya. And I hadn’t heard that Hillary was there. On top of that this other thought comes to mind: If her role in the administration is so extreme for her that she too experiences “the fog of war”, perhaps she should step down. I wouldn’t want her to succumb to “the fog of war”. Besides, under those conditions, how can we trust that she will be able to perform her duties in any other “extreme” situation?

Let us assume that we are allowed to lie just to keep our job. What will our duties produce?
Let us assume that we are commanded to lie to protect the guilty. What can we expect from such behavior?
Let us assume that we are allowed to make excuses to God for our lack of performance in Jesus. What can we expect as the outcome of our faith?
Those who are in Christ Jesus are held to the highest possible standard of behavior. There is Grace, yes. But there is also encouragement, rebuke, teaching in all righteousness, and the Love of God which restrains us in His Holy service. Do not do as the world does. Do as the Lord Jesus does.
