Are You a Procrastinator?
“Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.”
James 4:17

Ponder This
Are you one of those people who believes “Put off until tomorrow what you can do today”? This is one of those times when the fingers pointing back at me outnumber the one that’s pointing to you! What am I talking about? Procrastination.
Did you know procrastination is a sin? I say that because sin is not only doing what’s wrong; it’s failing to do what you know you ought to do. Procrastination and disobedience are just different shades of the same sin. I heard a quote once that said it well:
“When you have a job to do,
Begin this very hour.
You supply the will,
God supplies the power.”
That is the “will power” we need to instantly obey!
Practice This
Has a certain task been hounding you? Confess your procrastination as sin. And act now. Don’t hesitate. Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow may never come. Today is the day!

Real Truth Never Changes
Real truth never changes, and the truth about government is that it is God who ordains it, leaders who are responsible for it, and citizens who are accountable to it. The privilege of being called Americans comes with significant responsibilities—to God, to each other, and to the world.
