“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Wednesday;  April 16, 2008

 

          A few years ago a moral phenomenon developed that asked the question, “What Would Jesus Do?”.  Everywhere you looked WWJD was seen on wristbands, bookmarks, bumperstickers or billboards reminding us to make decisions with the mind of Christ.

          While this is a wonderful prompt, I’d like for us to consider another moral principle:  WSID.  WSID … or “What Should I Do” presumes that most of us know the difference between right and wrong, we just need to draw upon our moral knowledge to make good choices.  Most of the time, the problem isn’t that don’t know what to do, more often than not the trial is merely in making the right choice.

          When we are confronted with a moral dilemma, let’s start considering what we should do rather than what we want to do.  Remember, it was one of Jesus’ closest disciples who noted, “… to one who knows the right thing to do, and does not do it, to him it is sin.” (James 4:17)

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