“When Life Has You Down”
David E. Blakeslee, Psy.D.
Warner B. Swarner, M.D.
BY MATTIE ANN CALLIER-SPEARS
am a murderer. If I am jumping in the
sack with every Tom, Dick and Harry, I
am a whore.
We, as Christians, must learn to call
sin by its name and stop trying to cover
it up and paint it a different color. Just
wait a few minutes and the real thing will
“bleed” through.
Sowing means scattering seed and
reaping means gathering.
In the Spring, if I should plant daf
fodils, I expect to gel daffodils. NOT
roses.
When a person sees someone in
church worshipping and praising God,
they are inclined to believe that they are
“Believers” in the God they are worship
ping.
When a person sees that same per
son outside the church-cussing, lying,
cheating, stealing, using drugs, sleeping
with everybody and saying that it’s all
right, it seems like we got turnips instead
of daffodils.
When the seed of redemption is
planted and it falls on well-nourished
soil, the soul is truly redeemed. But--the
soil, each individual, must be ready to
receive the seed.
Earlier-I mentioned a situation con
cerning over payment. If I were a Chris
tian only in word (by mouth) and not
indeed, I would have been something
other than what I professed to b e -a
Christian.
As Christian believers, we should
be tireless in doing good There should
be no qua'rrs about tne act of doing the
right th in g -if you’re really who y ou say
you are.
The behavior of a Christian and the
behavior of a worldly person should be
totally different.
When Christ is accepted into your
Sometime ago I went into a super
market here in town. I made a purchase
and was about to leave when I realized
that the cashier had given me too much
money. I turned around and went back to
the cashier and asked her to re-count her
change. She quickly discovered that she
had given me a twenty dollar bill instead
of a ten dollar bill. Another instant that
I recalled w as-the time when I went
into a gas station. The attendant was
very kind. He pumped my gas and I paid
him for the gas, which was ten dollars.
He proceeded to give me twenty dollars
change. I quickly called him back say
ing, “Sir! I think that you have given me
too much change. I paid you ten dollars
for ten dollars worth of gas and you gave
me twenty dollars change. I know that
sounds like a good depl-but, I-don’t -
think-so.” I smiled. He smiled and said
“Thank you! They would have taken
that out of my salary.”
Many times people will come up to
me and ask if I am crazy for giving up
money like that. My response i s - ’Tt
wasn’t mine from the beginning; so why
should I get all happy over something
that was never mine?”
It’s just not worth putting your soul
in jeopardy over a few dollars.
Satan is a great baseball player. He
can throw a great curve.
This is all part of that reaping and
sowing process that is spoken of in the
scripture. [Galatians 6:5-10 KJV &
Hosea 8:7]
People who “say” that they are
Christians should “act” the part. How
can you be convincing T your life is
crooked?
If I steal, I am a thief. If I tell
untruths, I am a liar If I kill someone I

life, the presence of the Holy Spirit and
all that other old stuff can’t make it
together. You have to keep one and dash
out the other. Don’tyou know that ever '
man is the temple of God and the dw ell

himself undefiled. [I Corinthians 3:16
21a]

“ ...And the quality of each person
work will be seen when the Day of Christ
exposes it. For on that Day, fire will
reveal everyone’s work; the fire will test
it and show its real quality.” [I Corin
3:13 GNB]
A “dyed-in-the-wool” Chri stian can
not be a worker of iniquity, serve Christ
and expect to receive warm fuzzies and
pats on the back for a job well done. III

Scripture says that darkness and light
cannot co-habitat, you must love one
and hate the other.
“If we say that we have no sin, we
deceive ourselves, and there is no truth
in us. But if we confess our sins to God,
he will keep his promise and do what is
right; he will forgive us our sins and
purify us from all our wrongdoing. If w c
say we have not sinned, we make a liar
out of God, and his word is not in us.” [ I
John 1:8-10 GNB]
