Dont Straddle

Saturday. Matt. 10: 32-39.

Whenever the issue is distinctly drawn, then always line up with Jesus, winsomely, steadily, decidedly, unmistakably. This is what “confessing” means. In home and shop, in social gathering and church, even though your dearest loved ones and friends and acquaintances stay on the other side of that line, or straddle it, yet yon get and stay over on the Jesus side. And when in doubt — give Jesus the benefit of the doubt.
