“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Tuesday; March 4, 2008

 

          On a episode of M*A*S*H*, Colonel Potter described the classic Western movie, My Darling Clementine, as having three things that made a movie great, “Horses, cowboys and horses”.   As you might imagine, the good colonel loved horses and anything that blended them into the mix had to be good.

          The other day I was signing the old gospel song, “Give Me The Bible” and was reminded of how Priscilla J. Owens described the Bible as “law and love combining”.  What a wonderful observation.  The Bible is more than a law book, it shows the perfect blend of commandments and concern.  God doesn’t just hand down a bunch of rules, He blends in that perfect ingredient that makes everything better, love.  Not only does He tell us how to live, He also shows us how much He cares for us and, then, reminds us how we ought to care for one another through love.

          As we read the Bible, let’s think about how great the book really is.  It blends together the two things that make life good:  direction and devotion.

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