Don't Fall Off the Magic Fence!

When I sold insurance, they used to say that three out of ten would not buy no matter what you said or did. Three out of ten would buy every time and all you had to do was ask. The other four were on the fence. It was our jobs to knock them off the fence one way or the other. Preferably, onto the buying side, of course.


The world is very much the same when it comes to Christianity. Some stubbornly won’t, some willingly will and some are just too leary or wary to decide. The fact is, there is no "Magic Fence". You're either there or you're not. There is no half way in the door. In Luke 6, Jesus tells us that there is a great chasm that has been set between heaven and hell, so that you may not cross from one to the other. Getting only one foot into heaven is the same as being all the way in hell. How can we affect those with their decisions? Is it our responsibility? “Are we our brother’s keeper?” All good questions. Think about them.

  

The world should be very black and white when it comes to right and wrong. Yet, we find ourselves trying to hide far too much in the gray. Right is right and wrong is wrong! There is no “age” of accountability. You're accountable as soon as you can see the definitive line between what is good and bad. Therefore, it is very important to the know the difference in right from the wrong. The righteous from the lost. And most importanty, which one category that you fall in. In a world of black and white, we need to focus on the words in red. The words of Christ our King. Our Lord and Savior. We need to live them, love them and become one through them. No more gray areas, just right!
