[Biblemat] Article - Keeping Records

[GLClair at aol.com]

Here is an excellent article about brotherly  relationships and how to 
understand our role in the matter of love.   I am of the persuasion that this  idea 
is consistent with the love described in the Bible; God’s love for man and  
ought to be man’s love for God and one another. _glclair at aol.com_

KEEPING  RECORDS 
One responsibility of an accountant is to  maintain accurate financial 
records to show what other companies owe the accountant's employer or business. If 
some other company owes money to  the accountant's employer and wishes to buy 
more goods on credit, the accountant  may first demand payment of some money 
"up front." If the record shows that the  customer still owes money, credit may 
be denied. This is proper business  practice.
Did you know that the Holy Spirit used an accounting  term when describing 
love? First Corinthians 13:5: {ASV} "Love does not take  into account a wrong 
suffered." The word logidzomai is used here, and  it is a Greek word, an 
accounting term. We get the word "log," meaning "record  of events" from this.
Do we keep a record of wrongs done to us?  Some call that a grudge. Sometimes 
we deny others "credit" or love and  acceptance because we have a record of 
wrongs filed against them in our heart.  Polynesian natives in the past would 
hang their items of hatred from their huts  to keep the hatred alive.
A record keeps anger, resentment, and  hate alive. Child of God, you must rip 
up that record. Tear up that evil  testimony or the devil will eat you for 
breakfast. Forgive and forget. Do not  hold a record of wrongs done to you.  ---
