“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Friday; November 16, 2007

 

          In my home office I have a nifty iron with all sorts of fancy knobs and controls and a very complex ironing board that must be a good because it takes me several minutes to figure out how to set it up.  My issue is that while I have all this stuff in my office, in my closet I have wrinkled shirts.  You would think that with the tools and fabric so close together I would be a sharp-dressed man … but, it’s apparent that something is missing.

          I recently read a factoid that said 92% of American households had Bibles.  You would think that with Bibles that prevalent our world would be less flawed.  The issue with our lives – just like with my wrinkled shirts is that we don’t apply the tool to the problem.  The Bible itself notes, “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;  that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.”  (II Timothy 3:16-17) 

          Let’s take our Bibles for a walk this weekend – first, under our arms as we go to worship God,  then within our hearts as we live our lives.

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
