Sitting on the Fence
There’s a funny picture in the December 1, 2012 issue of World magazine. An SUV is sitting straddle of a fence on the Mexico/Texas border. The drug smugglers tried to use ramps to drive their Jeep Cherokee over the fence. The fence is 14′ high and the Jeep became stuck as it crossed the fence. Patrol agents caught the smugglers as they were trying to free the vehicle.
Straddling the fence. God does not care for people who are indecisive. In many areas, there is no middle ground. No ground for compromise. There is no middle ground between an atheist and a theist and God is decidedly theistic!
When we learn the truth, we do not need to sit on the fence. We need to learn the truth, be convicted of the truth, and stand on the truth. James wrote: “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded” (James 4:8). James is telling us not to be a fence-straddler.

Our conviction needs to be – “The Bible teaches…” That’s where I stand. When we do that, we stand with Paul, Peter, John, James, and Jesus Himself. There’s no better place to be found.
