Oblivious.... ain't it bliss?

The soundtrack:


Let's talk....

Today's word is Oblivious. (ə-blĭv'ē-əs)
The American Heritage Dictionary defines the adjective oblivious as:

1. Lacking all memory; forgetful.
2. Lacking conscious awareness; unmindful.

Do you attend church? Do you read your Bible? Do you have an active prayer life? Or are you oblivious to the need for these things?

One of my pet peeves is driving behind a vehicle when the police are around. When people don't know the traffic laws - and they see the police - they start making up laws. They do 25mph in a 40mph zone, they stand at yield signs as if they were stop signs, they turn on their turn signals blocks before they turn.
They can't help it, they just don't know the law.

Many of us live our spiritual lives this same way. We don't know what God requires of us, so we make up some personal laws to keep Him happy. We justify ourselves by our own standards, and feel that what we think is right God will think is right.
We are oblivious to God's truth.

We live like folks dancing on the deck of the Titantic - oblivious to our fate. We don't need God, we don't need church, we don't need prayer.... until the ship begins to sink.

Ah, what a fool believes....
Don't ignore the call of Christ, don't be oblivious to the gift of the cross.
I Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

We'll talk....
