Choices
Is it not by the courage always to do the right thing that the fires of hell shall be put out? (James Smith Bush, Episcopal clergyman)
The Bible says, “If anyone . . . knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them” (James 4:17). So, we know we ought to do the right thing. But it isn’t always easy. Sometimes, circumstances or the influence of others make it seem okay to do wrong. As Bush reminds us, however, choosing to do right may take courage, but it’s always best.
Let the one who does right continue to do right (Revelation 22:11).
