A TOTAL STRANGER?

Someone said of one woman, "She won't listen to her conscience. She doesn't want to take advice from a total stranger."

A policeman was writing a ticket for an expired driver’s license, and the man he was writing it for was not very happy. Then the policeman, Sgt. Ray Baarz of the Midvale Utah Police Department took it to the city judge…and paid his five dollar fine.

That’s right. He had written the ticket to himself.

“How could I give a ticket to anyone else for an expired license in the future if I didn’t cite myself?”

His conscience was alive and well and he had listened to it.

Indeed, may I suggest something you can do to see how well your conscience is working these days? When it speaks to you, ask yourself… what is its tone of voice and how does it phrase its messages?”

If it is saying to you, “You shouldn’t do that” then it is whispering and there is not enough shout in the message.

If it saying, “You must not do that” then obviously your conscience still has some vigor to it. Congratulations.

Jesus didn’t say, “I ought to do the work of He who sent me.”

Oh, no, He said, “I MUST DO THE WORK OF He who sent me.”

What I’m saying is, join the “MUST brigade” and give up membership in the “I oughta battalion.”
