“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Thursday; June 19, 2008

                                     

         In our society, we value the liberty to think; but, we are ultimately judged upon our actions.  We aren’t held accountable for thinking about doing a crime; we are judged by what we do.  Conversely, we don’t gain accolades for having kind thoughts, it’s the acts that make the difference.

          In the world of righteousness, we will have to answer for our explicit actions; but, there is another level of accountability.  Centuries ago when King Solomon observed, “He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous, Both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord.” (Proverbs 17:15) he brought righteousness out of our actions and into our attitudes.  It’s not just what we do that makes the difference, it’s also how we feel about those who do right and wrong.

          Let’s make sure we do the right thing; but, let’s also support the right people.  Our lives will not only be judged by how we act; but, also, by who we applaud.

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