Sometimes it Matters

Sometimes it matters what people think of you.

It is true that no matter what people think of us we should always do the right thing.

It is also true that what people think of us can keep us doing the right sort of things.

Its called accountability

Accountability depends on you being concerned about what people think, for this keeps us from…

Sin

The appearance of evil

Destruction

Sometimes what people think matters

I have found that most of the time when people use the phrase “I don’t care what anyone thinks” it means they are doing something wrong… and they know it. They just do not want anyone to say anything about it.  The statement is actually a rejection of  the very accountability that would keep them from…

Sinning,

The appearance of evil

Destruction

The problem is their mind is so bent on doing whatever it is they want to do, they are willing to throw their testimony right out the window in order to accomplish the sin they want to do. The sad part is, in the end they loose and often times never realize how much…

They can’t know how much for they threw out any measurement (in their own minds) for it long ago when they rejected the person that cared enough to say…

“Hey that’s wrong”

Sometimes it matters what people think…

and it should matter

for its the very thing God has put into place to help us stay on the right track with Him.
