The Bible says, "If you think you're standing..." Maybe you're there; you think you're doing okay. But you're hurtling down the highway with one finger on the wheel, eyes everywhere but on the road. You could be a spiritual accident looking for a place to happen. There's a very high price for overconfidence. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%205:15-16&version=NIV 2009-10-02T10:21:40-05:00 Paul urges the early church to be careful to live wisely. We live in spiritually dangerous times, and it's all the more important to make wise and Biblically sound decisions. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%205:15-17&version=KJV 2009-09-03T17:49:48-05:00 Our time on earth is short, so we must be careful and conscientious about how we use the time allotted to us--redeeming it by using it to further God's kingdom.
