Ten Talents by Tom Ward 11-15-2020
Complacency is evil. Do-nothingness is evil. Lack of belief that God cares what we do is evil. We must act, even when action involves risk – like taking years of savings and spending on the Temple. God holds us to account for inaction. I’m reminded of what we said together as part of the Confession of Sin a few minutes ago: Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you, in thought, word and deed, by what we have done and by what we have left undone. The undone is equal to the done. We can’t escape sinning by doing nothing. Doing nothing by itself often is sinful. It’s a wasted moment, a wasted opportunity.
