- Good morning, class! Today's lesson will be on a theory that has not been proven, but one I very much believe in. It is, matter of factly, one I choose to live by. You may take notes, but please pay attention.
- First of all, I think life is a lesson in it's own right. I think every day you are given a test. You either pass or fail.
- You see, in these life "tests" we are given multiple choice questions. We can either choose to A) do the right thing, B) Do the wrong thing, or C) waiver between A and B, never really being confident in our answer.
- Of course, no matter how you look at it the answer is A. Some people don't believe in this. Some people think they can go through life giving excuses for their poor judgements. This is where my theory comes into place.
- My theory is the clean slate theory. I have talked about it before, but didn't go into much detail. The clean slate theory consists of a pretty black and white, cut and dry, no nonsense approach to daily life.
- I feel that if you choose to live your life like this you find it becomes habit to keep your slate clean. You know the right way is the only answer. Oh friends, I never said it's the easy answer. Doing the right thing is very often the hardest thing to do. But if you wanna keep that slate clean, you have to choose it with every test.
- Once you start marking up that slate with wrong answers, it's easy to keep making wrong decisions. Until it's finally covered in all your mistakes and finally one day you hit rock bottom. I think when you can easily lie, you can cheat and steal. You must go to your teacher and ask for help cleaning up your chalkboard. So you can start over.
- When you ask for forgiveness of your sins, the Ultimate Teacher will listen. Yes, he has instructed us, time and time again the right ways to live our lives. But so many of us live in the here and now they rarely stop and take time making right decisions with each step. But if you go to Him and you ask for forgiveness, he will wipe your slate clean. He will erase every mistake you have made so you can start over.
- Our textbook is the Bible. We can read it, study it, memorize every verse, but until we implement it in our daily life, that is all it will be. Words.
- We are His students. He is our teacher. He knows we are going to make mistakes. But will we learn from each mistake? I will try. Will you?
- If given a grade right now by our Ultimate teacher, would you pass or fail?
