“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Friday; September 26, 2008

          There are many blessings in Christianity; but, one of the most elementary is the ability to choose.  At the heart of Christianity is the message that all people have the chance to follow it’s principles and precepts.  We don’t worship a God who forces His ways on us, we get to choose to follow Him.  We don’t have to be a certain ethnicity or have a particular nationality, all citizens of all nations can choose to be a part of this special church.  We don’t have to have enough money to buy our way into God’s good graces, His mercy is available to everyone who chooses to be obedient to Him.

          Choice is a wonderful blessing; but, it can also be a tough taskmaster.  You see, with the freedom of choice comes the need to choose.  We have to make a conscious decision to become Christians or it will never happen.

          This weekend, as we consider what we will choose to do; let’s remember Jesus’ ultimatum, “He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me, scatters.” (Luke 11:23)

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