Who is "good"?

Here is a question to consider:

If a good man falls, is he still good?

I would say it depends on from where he is deriving his sense of goodness.

For a man is not good because the man says so.

A man is good because God says so.

So perhaps a good man is not one who does not fall, but rather is one who gets back up--

--one who knows that walking is not about how long he can stay up on his own, but about how willing he is to let God lift him up...

higher than he could ever be of his own ability.

I think a good man is a man who walks with God. God, like a daddy, holds our hands as we walk. We will stumble and fall, but His strong hands lift us up and help us to keep going.
