“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Friday; March 28, 2008

 

          It’s Spring … it’s time for baseball!   I am a big fan of the national pastime for a variety of reasons; but, one of them is that is the only major sport played without a clock.  A ballgame takes as long as a ballgame takes.  The outcome of the game is dictated by talent, not time. 

          Being the laidback person I am, I guess I wish the rest of the world was built around this philosophy; but, I know that it isn’t.  Time plays a role in just about everything we do … even in our spiritual lives.  There are clocks running all around us, even one that has an eternal impact.  The First Century writers, didn’t have clocks; but, they had an idea of time when they noted, “Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you.  For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night.”  (I Thessalonians 5:1-2). 

          We may not be able to see this eternal clock; but, time on earth is limited.  Are we ready for the end?

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