sooo, there has been a theme in the news this week, and especially in the last two days…people saying or doing things that were not exactly appropriate…then they had to come up with reasoning of why it occurred, or why it was actually “ok” when it did occur…
well, those pictures were taken before i was placed in my current position…and you weren’t supposed to see them…?
or
well, i didn’t know my microphone was on and you were recording…?
i am specifically drawn to the second of the two…i can’t count how many times i’ve said things and as they were leaving my mouth i was reaching to grab the words and put them back in…only to be fanning the hot air of course…so i can attest to the feeling that being experienced by the reverend jackson this week…some what…
but the thing that has stuck out to me is how morality is being treated like the microphone he was wearing…it can be turned on and off…there are times when saying things or doing things is perfectly ok, if no one knows or is able to find out…
and there is a problem…God doesn’t need us to be wearing any microphone…there isn’t anything He isn’t going to hear us say or see us do…His word is not something that is only good in certain situations…living the Christian life isn’t something that we do, only when it’s convenient…we can’t be asking…
is this thing on???
IT’S ON!!! IT’S ALWAYS ON!!!
i need to do my best, with the grace of God, to live life knowing that it’s on…
do you live life like it’s on??? or are you asking…
is this thing on???
It’s so hard to guard what we say all the time. It’s even more terrifying to know that even when I did hold my tongue that God knows my thoughts.:( I guess that’s just one more reason why we have to deal with our sin daily. One more reason for renewing our mind from what the world sticks in it every day.
we are god’s microphone.
and yes, we are always on.
(where’d my comment go?! it doesn’t say it’s being moderated or anything – just disappeared!)
@alece – sorry, i turned your mic off…i moderate all comments and it doesn’t tell you that…?
last time i commented, it did tell me about the moderation. this time? nuttin.
i have no clue…i’m lucky to get done what i do get done without it getting all messed up…i’ll try to figure that out some day…?
Hi Jon…found you through….uh Forgot
Seems to be the common them this week in blogland..think the Lord is trying to say something?????? Great blog…mind if I add ya?
Blessings to you!!
add away, add away!!!
It seems as though the Reverend would know better…especially seeing that he has more experience at being behind the mic than the rest of us!
I guess all we can do is pray for him and remember ourselves that…IT’s ON!
Thanks for the help with MediaShout!
well, “amen” to that one. A good reminder … just goes to refresh our memory … it’s not evey about what we may or may not get “caught” doing or saying … it’s about the impact this has on our spiritual lives, and the relationship we have with the Father.
Love it! ITS ON!! always 24/7..
