My adult kids live in a subdivision
that borders open space trimmed with a bike path. During a recent visit I took
Charlie the grand-dog for a walk and as we approached the prairie dog colony the
sentinels sounded the alarm. A magpie perched on the large power line running parallel
to the path screeched a warning to his compadres. One six-foot-high wooden
fence did nothing to deter the German Shepherd and Pomeranian duo from alerting
the neighborhood as we passed by. Similar to Paul reminding the Corinthians of
the warnings from Israel’s history, we believers have a responsibility to warn
one another, “These things happened to them as examples and were written down
as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come” (1 Cor 10:11 NIV).
