The kindergarten teacher put that test on my desk. We were directed to circle the one which didn’t belong when there were three basketballs and a bicycle. It took me seven decades to figure what the point was to that exercise when it appeared to me to just be harassment of a five-year-old. Life is full of things which don’t belong and they must be recognized if you are to go on to the next level.
Christians are given similar tests. The following things don’t belong in the life of a Christian.
Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.
But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth.
Take a close look at your life and circle what doesn’t belong.
Give it some thought.
