Bad Theology leads to bad living. You’ve heard Tim talk about that for 2 weeks now. That statement has molded my thinking for over 2 years now. It has been a time of serious contemplation about what I believe and think. To me it is simple, if I do wrong, then my thinking has to change in order to do right. Only then can I be the person I’ve been created to be. Fact is, almost everyone I know is struggling one way or another with this. Who am I, and what am I supposed to do. I have learned that this is life and my life is made or broken by how I understand who I am and how I make my decisions. I used to think that one day everything would fall into place. I don’t think so anymore. If I only stand by and exist, that is all that will happen; I will stand by and exist. If i make good decisions, then chances are good things will happen. And if I make bad decisions, my life will be a mess. Sounds simple doesn’t it, but I cannot get over how profound these simple understanding are in living. Now the statement, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of all knowledge,” means so much more to me. If I want to really live and do good, I must consider God in everything I do……Period!
If you think you are the only one that deals with this sort of thing, welcome to the club. You are not alone. By the way, this club is called life.
