Romans 14:23b for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

BAO stands for By Appointment Only.

You are sick and need to see your doctor. So you call the office and they tell you that they can squeeze you in next Thursday at 3:45. Be sure to have your ID and insurance card and a list of all your medications.

They treat you like they don’t know you.

If we live our life without faith being at the forefront of everything we do and say, we have sin. People do not want to hear that. I understand, we who believe do not want to think we live a sinful life. So be it.

1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

The truth is that we sin, like it or not, His Word declares it to be true. So how do we deal with it? Do we call to book an appointment with our Great Physician? What does that call sound like?

“I can come in on Sunday any time between 9:30 and 11 but I have to be back in time for the kick off.”

“Can I get an after-hours visit Wednesday night between 7 and 9?”

Jesus is our 24-7 Savior and we treat Him like He is an appointment in our day planner.

1 John 1:2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)

Is your life in Christ manifested in you or by appointment only?
