An excellent article on what Christian "morality" means.

clipped from www.breakpoint.org We do good not because the Bible says so, or out of fear of consequence, or for a utilitarian end—though, sadly, some Christians (maybe many) are motivated by those very reasons; we do good out of love for God, who not only created all persons in His image, but humbled Himself so that all could have community with Him. For Christians, the Word made Flesh is the Standard of ethics and morality that informs our Western concepts of right action, justice, equality, and human dignity.
