Implications

Have you read the verse of the day on my sidebar?

I mean really read it and digest what it is calling us to do?


", so be holy in all you do ." - 1 Peter 1:15-16

Be holy in everything? Surely not? I mean this is this meant to be a standard? Setting the bar kind of high here, aren't ya Peter?

All I do? That would mean:

How I talk to my wife.

How I talk to my kids.

How I think? Whoa, hold on a minute!!! Thinking? Be holy in my thinking. Not to call attention to the elephant in the room but we/I tend to look right past this section when talking about what parts of our lives are to be changed.

Look at what some other scriptures say about our thougthts and how they are judged and how they are to be handled.

"For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." - Heb. 4:12

"We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." - 2 Cor 10:5


How many times do we look back at the day and examine our actions but never look at our thoughts? Do we seem to think they don't count since others can't see them - or can they?

"The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks." - Luke 6:45
