A university professor in Thailand decided to reduce cheating in her class by requiring all students to wear \u201canti-cheating hats\u201d, affectionately called \u201cblinkers\u201d. An engineering professor in the Philippines saw what Thailand had instigated and allowed her students to design their own hats and as engineering students their results turned out to be very creative. Their hats went viral on social media and produced quite a few chuckles by viewers. However, such behavior is not just found in the East but is all too prevalent in the West as well.\u00a0 One of the first commandments that every Christian should be taught comes from the Ten Commandments:\u00a0 \u201cDo not steal<\/em>\u201d (Ex. 20:15). In Thailand\u00a0 there are five main precepts in Buddhism, the second of which is \u201cNo stealing\u201d.\u00a0 I once asked a Thai merchant that I was trying to bargain with about how well she followed the five precepts. She was very honest and said, \u201cI do fine with four of them, but there is one that I just can\u2019t seem to follow.\u201d I asked her, \u201cWhich one would that be?\u201d\u00a0 She replied with a grin,\u00a0 \u201cWell, my occupation is to be good at lying.\u201d\u00a0 We both laughed, but the sad reality is that \u201cAll have sinned and fallen short of God\u2019s glory<\/em>\u201d (Rom. 3:23).\u00a0 Cheating on an exam or fudging on the price of a souvenir are merely a couple of examples of the sin problem that affects the whole of mankind.\u00a0 Pray that God\u2019s Holy Spirit will do its special work of \u201c\u2026convicting the world of sin, righteousness and judgment<\/em>\u201d (John 16:8) and that the Thai would acknowledge that they have fallen short of God\u2019s standard and seek out the only sin bearer \u2013 Jesus.<\/p>\n
