Best Question Ever
It is incredible how many stories in the past week or so has come across the local and national radar screen… A Senator, King of Pop, a Young man, Pastor… when it comes to the idea of living our lives not how the unwise live but as wise it never ceases to amaze me how short sighted and easily duped “us peoples” can be!
How can smart, intelligent people, men and women be so stupid?
It’s always easy for us to see the piece of wood in other people’s eyes all the while not noticing the LOG in our eye!
As I have heard about some of these stories I can’t help but think about our series the Best Question Ever.
The thing about that question is how it uncovers… exposes are real intentions, agendas even though we would never admit it most of the time. We are willing to blow right by every barrier, guard rail that God puts in our lives in order to satisfy our desires, our agenda, regardless of what is BEST for us and those we love…
the result?
A Senator and his wife, boys, devastated… because he kept saying “nothing is wrong with it” living right on the ledge until he crashed over it…
A 50 year old man’s life is cut short and his full brilliance never completely expressed because of drug addiction and much more…
A young man is sentenced to 6 years for drinking and then driving… killing a young mom, a sister, a daughter…
A pastor saying one thing and living another… a marriage, kids, a congregation shocked, mad, sad, devastated, confused…
Satan comes… prowling like a lion seeking whom he may devour, kill, steal, destroy… we flirt with disaster even though our Father in Heaven warns us to not live this way… back away from the edge and the ledge… live a regret-free life… a fool-proof life!
Right or Wrong is not our queue but what is the WISE thing to do!
