To Know and Not to Do

To Know and Not to Do

I like what a Buddhist monk once said, "To know and not to do is not yet to know." To translate that into our Christian terminology it could be, "To believe and not to act is not yet to believe." In other words, if I say that I believe that without Christ people are eternally lost, and never do anything to point or even to help point others to Christ, do I really believe that people without Christ are lost? And if I say that I believe that Jesus is coming again and that the lost will be left behind, and I never do anything to help point them to Christ, do I really believe that Jesus is coming again and that the non-Christians will be left behind?

So I agree with the monk who said: "To know and not to do is not yet to know."

Comfort & Ease & Pleasure

WHEN comfort and ease and pleasure are put AHEAD of duty and conviction, progress is ALWAYS set back.
 
I read this statement & it really stuck with me...  So I thought I better share it along with where it came from. It is a good read.  Something to take time to think about & see where it leads you in thought.  Hope it blesses you just as it did me!
 

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. -1 Peter 5:8 When I was in the hospital in Hawaii, I read again of the shocking events which led up to the destruction of the United States fleet at Pearl Harbor. On that fateful day of December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked. We know now that that attack was invited by our failure to be always vigilant. The result was the destruction of our fleet—the cause was tragic indifference. When comfort and ease and pleasure are put ahead of duty and conviction, progress is always set back.
