WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

Several years ago, a small fundamentalist college advertised in its brochure that they were located seven miles from sin. They were sincere, but if taken at face value, they were also wrong because you can no more be seven miles from sin than you can be seven miles from love, or doubt, or faith, or greediness, or benevolence.

Intangibles are not something you are so many miles away from or that you go to. They are something within you. They are the stuff that can make a hell into heaven or a heaven into hell. They do make a difference.

Pure and simple, sin is always no more than a stones throw away from our souls. Good people do bad things. It starts sometimes from the seeds of good intentions or trying to justify wrongs from an unjustifiable position.

How can we slow down our affinity for doing wrong and calling it right? We can brand Paul’s words on our psyches, those words that read, Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
In short, whenever a de
cision has to be made…filter it through humility and not arrogance, love and not hate, consideration and not contentiousness. Think long and hard on the age old question, “What would Christ have me do?”

I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do. (Romans 7:19)
