Whats wrong with that? Day Three

As we continue with the thought of the question posed on day one, “What’s wrong with that?”.  Lets remember that we are accountable to God, we are accountable to His Word and we are responsible for sharing His love to a lost and dying world. So the final thought is this…

What’s right with it?

To me the question is faulty for the Christian.  Why are we looking for an out when we should be looking to honor the Lord in all we do. 1Corinthians 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. The world sees enough hypocrisy in Christendom as a whole.  Comics make a living mocking religion and religious inconsistency; whole movies have been made regarding the false gospel preachers of the day. (See Wednesday blog for further detail.)  Yet we are called to be salt and light in this world. 

In our ranks today there is a mentality to step away from the clear teachings of God’s Word and move from the crystal clear commands that He has given us.  I realize that we do not find Sunday night church in the Bible but is having church on Sunday night a bad thing?  How many people are saved on a Sunday night service?  I know that Wednesday night service is not in the Bible, but is having a mid week service a bad thing?  We have come to the place as Christians where we can excuse anything.  Too busy for Sunday night church, too much to do to go soul winning, after all shouldn’t we be home with our family? 

So let me end with this thought, the next time you ask the question, “What’s wrong with doing this or that?” switch it around, look and see if it is pleasing the God that saved you.  Check and see if it lines up with God’s Word and the doctrine of the Bible.  Then ask “What’s right with this or that?”  I believe if all of us as followers of Christ would live by this simple thought then we will become the Salt and Light that we should be in our world.
