Great version of Hallelujah...



I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Omission... The Most Revolting Sin? (part 1)

Hello Beloveds!

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?
