It’s been a mighty long time since I’ve blogged my ‘Sunday Thoughts’ – but that may be because I’ve been taking time off from thinking on Sundays!
Today I’m not going to wax lyrical about anything, nor am I going to bash you over the head with my theological beliefs, I’m just going to ask you a very simple question:
If you knew for absolutely certain that Christ was coming again this time tomorrow, what would you do?
Please think hard before you answer….
totally freak out
Why freak out?
like totally jump up and down and squeeeeel and dance and just run and hop around like i just won a million dollars… then i would be frightened and confused and then i would probably pee my pants.
now, anyone else who really really really really truly knew when it was going to happen would freak out. really, think about it.
no one truly lives like Jesus is coming today or tomorrow or next week. you know that if anyone were really doing that, every single life would look totally different.
truth…
perhaps it is time.
i meant…perhaps it is time
to live for today
and have our daily bread that comes from God
and think about it being the only day
we don’t know about tomorrow
so maybe it is time for me
to stop acting like
i do know….
Why give up thinking? I think that thinking is so important. Don’t you Blackadder?
As for your question – maybe I’d go to the forest and join the trees as they sing. Psalm 96 vv. 12&13
When I read you quoting scripture, I was going to point you to that verse that says not to have people call you ‘father’ but then I realised that you ARE my father, so it’s probably OK.
P.S. I think thinking is SO important!
Peter, when I read your question, the first thing that came to my mind was that I would rather not know the time. I am a very anxious person, I would probably have a heart attack if someone knocked on the door a few minutes before the time or something like that, if you know what I mean 🙂
Then, the second thing that came to my mind were some people that I know that are not saved, that I would call them and try to make them accept Jesus in time. And I don’t think I would do such a good job because I would probably sound like a crazy person.
Anyway, that made me feel guilty that I should work harder on that now…
🙂
I would have a bunch of come to Jesus talks with some folks.
I actually would too, the question is, are they talks that you haven’t had to date or would they just be one last attempt at something you’ve been doing for a long time?
Mostly the latter. Usually the talks that end with me wanting to bang my head against the wall. The ones where the person on the other end is agreeing and nodding their heads in agreement until I get to the part about what they must do, and I get a lot of “Yeah, buts”. Frustrating.
awesome.
The frustration will always be there with some people but the fact that you’ve had the conversations is out-of-this-word awesome!
