What Would You Do?

“Those who say that they live in Him must live the same way He lived” - 1 John 2:6 GWT

I’ve taken a few weeks off from blogging to mostly do some reading. I had already planned to start sharing again today and I had a supposedly profound thought to give you (but perhaps God thought not so much)…however I felt the Spirit of God really wants me to share this: I had a car wreck last week and it was my fault. Not really a big deal…no one was hurt; both our cars received damage; and I made a mistake that caused the accident. Now, here’s what is bugging me. There were no witnesses to this accident and I am not sure why that matters, but I continue to run into people who, when they find this out, say they are surprised that I would so freely admit to being wrong. Forgetting it is the truth, either this is a statement on my credibility (could they be so surprised that I would admit fault…I mean do I appear to be the lying thief type?) or it is an indictment on society’s inability to stand for truth and be held accountable. I pray you are not still dwelling on my credibility and have moved on…on to the sad fact that people have told me I should not have admitted fault. Two of these are supposed Christians (thank God not from Beulah)! HELLO! Does anyone else see the red flags waving? Why is it we resist being held accountable? If it is acceptable practice, at least by some both in and outside the church to justify our every action…even when we know it’s wrong, it is no wonder people will not confess sin. And if we are willing to lie about something as insignificant as this, will we not lie about things with greater consequences? I ran across 1 John 2:6 the following day and when someone questioned me I shared it with them. They just looked at me as if I were crazy. God help us!
