Just thinkin'
Sitting here at the house, reading the weird and wonderful world of FB and thought, "Is this really a good use of my time? Sure, it's fun. Sure it's funny! (thanks to Darin Kidd) But in the grand scheme of things, what good is it when considering the immortal soul? But then, how much of our day to day inter-actions and activities have any purpose and benefit in God's great plan. We never know when someone is watching us, wondering why we have a smile when times are hard and why we seem to have a glow of contentment during a hard day. Of course, they probably wonder why we claim to be Christians and laugh at or tell that off color joke and listen to certain types of music. What effect is our day to day walk having on our co-workers and family? What are we doing to present Christ to the cashier at the convenience store where we buy our morning coffee. What have we said to that grouchy old man at the sandwich shop, that might help to alleviate his constant bad mood. Could it be that the cashier and the old man have the mood that they do because WE fail. Yes, our failure to present Christ in our daily talk (and walk) could be what is causing these strangers to have their outlook. What good is our vocal claim to Christ without the walk and what good is our walk in peace and good will without telling people why we feel so blessed. Our completion of the "Great Commission" is more than reading our bibles in public, witnessing or passing out tracts or walking with a peaceful countenance. This aspect of our Christianity is a multi-faceted intertwined thing that must be blended together and presented day to day. Christ didn't say "sometimes go or sometimes share", he said "GO!"
