What if suddenly every spot in your life was in the Media

I Had posted this on my Xanga, didn't bring it over here but after reading Pastor Neil's blog I thought I'd go ahead an post what I had posted over there.

*~*~*~*~*~*
I was reading about Ted Haggard and his little thing got going on... it's all over the news I'm sure you've heard it. Then it got me to thinking about Jimmy Swaggart and Jim Baker... all big names in the ministry who, when they fell they made a big loud boom.

And christians cringe, because you feel like it gives all Christians a bad name when the media shines light on the secret lives of big name ministers.

But is that what really would give you, as a christian a bad name?

I've been wondering, what would they find if my entire life, secret and public was exposed? Would I be clamoring for excuses and reasongings and trying to cover something I didn't want anyone else to see? Would every conversation I had be ok for the world to read? Would every action I had be of good report?

I lost patience with my kids today. My Daughter had pushed my 8 month old down once again. And I raised my voice at her... her pushing him is not to be tolerated by any means, but my reaction was no better. I would have been horrified to have that shown to the public view. I since then have made it right, but you know when being judged by humankind the repentance never matters.

So what about you.. what if all of a sudden the whole world could read everything you blogged in private, hear every private conversation you ever had, seen or know about all your ungodly actions.

I think I have some praying to do.

And we will one day give an account for our actions. The Bible promises us that.
