Jesus posed a question to the religious folk of his day: "What do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said, 'Son, go and work today in the vineyard...' 'I will not,' the son answered, but later he changed his mind and went. Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. He answered, 'I will, sir,' but he did not go... Which of the two did what his father wanted?" The answer is too obvious to miss.

The day has come to stop talking and to start doing. Its one thing to sound like your a Christian, but something all together different to live like a follower of Jesus. Bono is a challenging figure to those who are content to merely sound like Christians. He may not always sound like one, but he sure acts like one. Someone said, "I went to see Bono to find out what kind of Christian he was. I came home asking myself what kind of Christian I am." Jesus said, "Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord" will enter the kingdom, but only he who does the will of my father who is in heaven." Today is Monday. It is a very good day to ask ourselves, "What kind of Christian am I going be this week?" Mere words can never adequately answer that question -- Bob
