Pastor Steffan’s Reckless Obedience February 2020

One day.

One day he will stand before the throne to give an account. To give an account of why he never missed “worship” on Friday nights or Sunday afternoons at a stadium but found it next to impossible to make it to worship on Sunday mornings.

One day she will stand before the throne to give an account. To give an account of how she could honor the LORD with one breath, then disparage her husband with the next.

One day he will be asked to give an account. To account for why he used his strength to exploit, rather than protect, the weak. To account for why he trusted in his wealth and his work, rather than Christ and his cross.

One day she will be asked to give an account. To account for why she was so committed to meeting her needs, yet so indifferent to meeting the needs of others. To account for why she was so quick to accept His grace and mercy, but so slow to share it.

Psalm 28:4 – “Give to them according to their work and according to the evil of their deeds; give to them according to the work of their hands; render them their due reward.”

Yes, one day he will give an account. To give an account of why he spent all that he was entrusted with on himself, his pleasure, his desires, his wants, when he was so clearly commanded to give much of it to those with nothing, nothing but basic needs.

And she also will be asked to give an account. To account for why she planned and saved for what she wanted to have, but never did the same for what she wanted to give?

One day I will be asked to give an account. To account for why I was quick to speak my name but so slow to speak His name. To account for the many times I took the credit that He was due.

Revelation 20:12 – “And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done.”

Sometimes we get a glimpse of “one day” in our current day. While still in Africa, we showed a picture to the boys of the house that they were soon to live in. I cannot speak for Sandy, but there was more than a little pride in my heart as they examined the photos with eyes wide. Then Francis asked, “How big is that garage?” “Three cars” I answered. Astonished and amazed, he exclaimed, “One house, three cars, how can that be?” Indeed…how can that be?

With that question, conviction replaced the pride. I did not know what to say. I am not sure what I will say.

Then there was the day we left the orphanage for the last time. As David and Francis said their goodbyes to those who had cared for them, one little boy approached me. I do not recall his name. Like all the other children at the orphanage, he was shoeless, dirty, disheveled, malnourished, and covered in sores. As I knelt down to give him a hug, he looked me square in the eyes and begged, “Please take me too.” I answered, “I am sorry, but I just can’t.” And as I stood to walk away, he grabbed my hand and spoke the words that I fear I may hear again one day

– “Why not?” Why not? I did not answer them. I still have no answer now.

Psalm 62:12 – “and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love. For you will render to a man according to his work.”

Without question, the Bible makes clear that our salvation is found in Christ alone. We are saved by grace, through faith, and not by our works. However, the Bible also makes clear that one day we will all stand before the throne and give an answer for all that we said and left unsaid. For all that we did and left undone.

For some, that “one day” is far away. For others, that “one day” is tomorrow. Are you prepared to give an account?

So today I learned just how much the beard defies beforethethrone's facial structure. It's like contouring but with hair.
