Today’s Thought “Steadfastness Yields A Perfect Dividend” G. Ward

Titus 1:15-16

“To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. They profess to know God, but by their deeds they deny Him, being detestable and disobedient and worthless for any good deed.”

Our society has demanded we move expeditiously unto a “new and improved” status both philosophically along with acquisition of the newest technological advances (cf. 1 Cor.3:12-15). Although enjoying the newest I-Phone may not be problematic, denial of an android device won’t preclude its usefulness.

We cannot allow meaningless dictates (transcendent to phones) from our world govern what’s been essential for other generations before our existence (cf. 2 Cor.5:7); particularly when our presence in the Creator’s today issued absolutely no control unto us concerning whether we’ll exist in the next moment. Earth’s presence is short-lived, a practice field for eternity, requiring daily review as to Who I depend on with an implicit trust (Ac.4:12). That to which I embrace now determines where I go. There is no other contrast to perceive and if my mind thinks otherwise my conscience remains defiled. May it never be!
