I was recently pondering sins of omission, those times in
life we’re prompted to act but don’t. Would God really hold us accountable for something we didn't
do?
The truth is, choosing inaction is itself an action. This can take many different forms:
-That time you felt called to go on a mission trip, but
didn't go because “life is just too crazy right now”.
-The time you drove by the person on the side of the road
with the broken down car because “someone else will stop”.
-That time your wife hinted she needed to take a vacation,
but you didn't because “money is just too tight”.
Life is full of choices which ultimately define us. We go to church and through the motions, we
speak a mean “christianese”, but when it comes to putting action to words or
making the difficult decisions, we fall desperately short. We're only half in.
What does the Bible say?
