Todd's Question
Last night Todd Stewman asked a question that was so good it was almost hilarious. I’d like to ask it to all of you. Read Matthew 5:16. Read Matthew 6:1. Keep in mind Jesus said both of these things in the same sermon. Both verses are talking about doing things so that other people can see them, but 5:16 says that you should do it and 6:1 says that you absolutely shouldn’t do this. How do you reconcile these two seemingly contradictory verses?

Or die trying...
Good luck, and have a slew of good flights.
I think Coop hit it on the head. If the only reason I'm doing good works is for me and for my glory, is it really that good? And for that matter if the only reason I'm not doing bad things is so that people don't think poorly of me or because of other social pressures, then me not sinning seems kind of shallow.
Jesus is so brilliant. And, though they aren't really in the same league, Colin and Stewman are pretty smart too.
