A thought sent to me by Victoria today....

Pretty strong thoughts that we don't like to hear........ but a good word from a great man.

Reasoning Together--Being Reconciled One to Anther

Devotional thought from the messages of Adrian Rogers

BIBLE MEDITATION:
Isaiah 1:18 - "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD:
though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though
they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Every rebel has a reason for his or her actions. You've probably heard a
young person say, "Well, my dad drinks, so I smoke pot." Do you know
what kind of reasoning that is? Brute beast reasoning, like Peter
mentions in 2 Peter 2:12. This young person doesn't think he has to obey
his father. And he further reasons, "He's not worthy of my obedience."
Do you know the only people who can demand perfect parents? Perfect
children. The only people who can demand a perfect pastor is a perfect
church member. The only person who can demand a perfect politician is a
perfect citizen!
There is never a license for rebellion. There are ways to reason
together in a church, home, and government.

ACTION POINT:
A spirit of rebellion will bring a nation to its knees. Jesus gave His
life to reconcile us. Can you live otherwise?
