Good morning, this

is Topher from Washington Church of Christ bringing you a positive Message

Minute.

You just gotta laugh

at some of the silliness that comes out of our mouths sometimes, especially

those of us who claim to be people who live by the Good Book.

talk about our loved ones, getting their wings and becoming angels when they

die.  Truth is, angels and wings are rarely

connected and we certainly don't become angels anymore than we become camels!  Don’t even get me started on the

golden ringed halo above the head!

of every animal went in the ark, when it was really 7 pairs of all the clean

ones. (Genesis 7:2)

to Godliness?  - Didn't arrive in our

world until a sermon in 1778! (source here)

our churches with pews, pulpits, and crosses? 

Oh wait, in the New Covenant, the church isn't even a building. 

the idea that if life is bad, you've done bad, if life is good, you've done

good.

Folks that's about

as anti-Christ as you get.  It was Jesus

who said in the Sermon on the Mount, "the rain falls on the just and the unjust alike."  (Matthew 5:45)  It was His

follower Paul who said, "the

wages of sin is death,"  (Romans 6:23) and "all have sinned and fallen

short of the glory of God."  (Romans 3:23) Truth is folks,

we deserve death and we can't do enough good deeds to deserve good in

life.  The scales of Karma just don't fit

with sin and God's Justice.

And that's the good

news of the Gospel.  Christ came to save

us and offered grace and adoption to all the lost and wayward children of the

world.  We may deserve death, but Christ

came with the Grace of Life as a free gift. 

So, for the believer, karma is dead, and Christ reigns supreme.   I don't believe in karma, but I believe in

the grace of Christ.

Today, be grateful

for that unmerited favor of grace and kick Karma to the curb by sharing grace

with others.  You'll be glad you did.
