Somebody

Most of us at some point in our week have thoughts about what “ought to” be done. What was the last thing that came to your mind that you really felt ought to be done? Was it some injustice that needed to be made right? Was it some ministry that needed to be started? Was it some person who needed a hand? Was it some task that would improve your community?

Chances are that everyone of us will have a moment today or tomorrow where we will think that somebody should do something about this or that. It is that “ought to” moment that I believe that God uses to prick us towards action. The challenge I want to leave you with today is when you sense that somebody should do something about an injustice, a need or a ministry that you will consider that the reason you have had an “ought to” moment is not for just personal observation only. It may be that God has put it on your heart to be the somebody to do something about it.

Narking

I was listening to Colin Cowherd on sports radio today. The subject of narking came up. The question was asked, "Would you nark to authorities on your brother if you knew your brother was murdering people?" Cowherd said he would nark on his brother. But the other guy, fish, said he would not nark on his brother. He would defend his brother.

Would you nark on your brother or sister for murder?

What does your answer reveal about your values?

By the way, I would nark on my brother. It is just.
