HARRY TRUMAN AND GOSPEL TRUTH
Where gratitude fits in
To read the Bible in one year, today Read: Zechariah 1-3
To Read: Zechariah 1-3
To Know:
³O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures
for ever. O give thanks to the God of gods, for his steadfast love endures
forever. O give thanks to the LORD of Lords, for his steadfast love endures
forever.² (Ps. 136:1-3))
Harry S. Truman is famed for saying, ³The buck stops here.² Truman refused
to duck responsibility. He dropped the atom bomb and fired General Douglas
MacArthur for disobeying an order from the Commander in Chief. When Truman
was vice-president, the man who had promoted his candidacy for the Senate
died. Boss Pendergast had been tried and convicted of a crime but was
released to let him die on the outside. Vice-president Truman, against the
advice of his political advisors, attended the funeral and drew severe
criticism for acknowledging a convicted felon. Truman attended the funeral
to express his gratitude for the help the man gave in his early political
career. ³Ingratitude,² said Truman, ³is a cardinal sin.²
Gratitude is the¹ motive for Christian living. The communion service is a
Eucharist, which is translated ³thanksgiving.² The bread and cup that we
share at Communion are to be received with thanksgiving, which is meant to
remind us of our motive for everyday living. Paul wrote to warn his young
colleague Timothy that some would depart from the faith and forbid
Christians to enjoy the good things ³which God created to be received with
thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.² (1 Tim. 4:3)
To Do:
Paul indicts the fallen human race when he says of sinners, ³Ever since the
creation of the world his invisible nature, namely, his eternal power and
deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made. So they
are without excuse; for although they knew God they did not honor him as God
or give thanks to him.² (Rm.1: 20,21) Truman was right; ingratitude is the
cardinal sin. The guilt of the human race is manifested by the ingratitude
of men or women who receive life and breath.
