Friday, January 8, 2021 Living with Your Eyes Open "Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night" (1 Thessalonians 5:6–7 NKJV). When I first became a Christian, I met a few stick-in-the-mud believers who told me, "You know, brother, you need to be more sober." That's because I was always joking and trying to have fun. When the Bible speaks of being sober-minded, however, it simply means to be clearheaded. It means being alert, sane, and steady. It's living with your eyes open. Some people say that Christians are out of touch. They would assert that we're so heavenly minded that we are no earthly good. What nonsense. No one does more for the world than those who are heavenly minded. So many of the world's great relief organizations are Christian organizations. When tragedy strikes, it's always the Christians who are showing compassion in every practical way, reaching out to people regardless of their beliefs or lack thereof. Christians are the realists. In fact, I think Christians are the sanest people around, because we're realistic about the problems and the solution. When the Bible tells me that humanity is sinful and that's why humans do the things they do, it makes sense to me. It certainly explains a lot.   CONTINUE READING →
