No Loose Laces
May 15, 2013

One person’s actions can affect an entire group. This truth became clear to journalist Sebastian Junger as he followed a platoon of soldiers. Junger watched a soldier accost another soldier whose bootlaces were trailing on the ground. He didn’t confront him out of concern for his fashion. He confronted him because his loose laces put the entire platoon at risk—he couldn’t be counted on not to trip and fall at a crucial moment. Junger realized that what happens to one happens to everyone.

Achan’s “bootlaces were loose,” and we learn from his story that sin is never private. After the great victory at Jericho, God gave Joshua specific instructions on how to deal with the city and its loot (Josh. 6:18). The people were to “abstain from the accursed things” and to put all the silver and gold “into the treasury of the Lord” (vv.18-19). But they disobeyed his command to them (7:1). The interesting thing is, not all of Israel sinned; only one person did—Achan. But because of his actions, everyone was affected and God was dishonored.

As followers of Jesus, we belong to one another and our individual actions can impact the entire body and God’s name. Let’s “tie up our laces” so that we may individually and together give God the honor He deserves.

Lord, we know our sin is never private, though we
may try to hide it. Help us to remember that we
belong to You and to one another and that what we do
individually grieves You and impacts fellow Christians.

Private sins will inevitably have public impact.

Read: Joshua 7:1-12

The children of Israel committed a trespass regarding the accursed things, for Achan . . . took of the accursed things. —Joshua 7:1

Bible in a Year:
2 Kings 22-23; John 4:31-54

YOU ARE THE SCION OF RAILROADING MEN!



My Grandfather was an Engineer on the Pennsylvania Railroad, beginning over a century ago, and continuing into the late 1950's. When he retired, he was one of the most senior engineers on the Pennsy.

My Uncle was a Conductor on the Pennsy in the second half of the last century.



The Pennsylvania Railroad is a Fallen Flag, but it rolls forever through my arteries and veins.

GRRRR! I got my iPad out to listen to The City of New Orleans, and the other train songs.

Won’t play on a mobile. *sigh* Guess I still have to wait til I get home.

Good evening, Mayor, and thanks for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

How is your mini-mixer coming along? Almost ready for prime time?
