“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Friday; March 14, 2008

 

          Religion is an important part of our society.  In fact, our country has a deep heritage founded in the practice and protection of religion.  It was so important that when the forefathers revisited our nations “charter”, the Constitution, they amended the wonderful document to expressly protect our freedom to practice religion the way we saw fit.

          Religion is so important to us that, periodically, we need to go back and remember that religion isn’t a political debate, it is a personal expression of our relationship with God.  It’s not just where we go to church, it’s how we live our lives.  Simply put, religion blends emotion, belief and action and produces a lifestyle.  Hundreds of years before our folks met in Philadelphia, an early Christian writer noted, “For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.”  (James 2:26). 

          Let’s not just “argue” religions freedom, let’s practice it … and not just in a building somewhere; but in everything we do.

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