Uncommon Sense

Common sense is not so common anymore. Why is that? Maybe we should start calling it uncommon sense to generate a greater awareness of the lack of common sense in our communities, nation and world.

Whenever we have questions like these that provoke discussion and debate within society it is our job as Christians to turn to the Ultimate Textbook which is our source for answers. Yes, I am talking about the Bible...

Listen to this verse:

"If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him." James 1:5

It kind of seems like our answer is right here in this verse. We aren't asking God for His wisdom and discernment anymore. Christians and non-Christians alike are trying to go about life using their own finite logic. Christians should know better than to be doing this because we have God's instructions on what to do when our common sense meter is lacking. -- ASK HIM!!!

All we have to do is ask and God will help us. He will not turn a deaf ear to our plea for help because we are His children. Let's give common sense a comeback because we start going to God for that provision instead of ourselves.
