“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Tuesday; April 22, 2008

 

          In our quest to be good people, we often find ourselves having to get away from evil influences.  Many times we know what we should and shouldn’t be doing; but, being around certain people makes it difficult.  Yet, just knowing we need to avoid some people isn’t enough, we need to make an effort to break from them.  

          Now, if we are trying to run away from bad influences … how about this idea - why not run towards places where they aren’t likely to follow us?  If we really want the people who are trying to lead us astray to leave us alone, maybe we should spend our time in places like church, with people like our parents or around groups who are dedicated to being good influences and want to pursue noble efforts.  Most people who like the dark side will avoid these enlightened places; therefore, the more time we spend with the good, the less time we’ll have to run from the bad.

          Where are we spending our time?  Is it where the evil influences would like to be or where they’ll leave us alone?

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