Albert Camus said, “I shall tell you a secret, my friend. Do not wait for the last judgment. It takes place every day.” Some time ago it was reported that a Dr. Wilder Penfield of Montreal’s Neurological\u00a0Institute discovered that certain sites in the brain when stimulated electrically led one patient to hear an old melody he thought he had long ago forgotten and another patient to relive the experience of having\u00a0her baby (oh boy!). His findings convinced some scientists that every action of our life is recorded in our brain and that even our thoughts and\u00a0feelings\u00a0about our actions at the time we did them are also recorded. Could there then be solid psychological support for the biblical teaching of judgment after death? A lot of people would rather try to forget certain things but the memory is etched\u00a0on the hard drive of your brain much like wherever go on the Internet is also recorded on your computer’s internal hard drive. It sure does matter what a person does with the time given him\/her by God. The very famous sportswriter Grantland Rice said,\u00a0“When the\u00a0One Great Scorer comes to write against your name, He writes-not that you won or lost-but how you played the game.”\u00a0We should be concerned about\u00a0God’s judgment when we die because no one escapes it and no one will get the\u00a0VIP treatment. A way to start with examining your conscience is by spending a few minutes each day replaying your day and picking out a high point and then a low point and recognizing the need for God’s forgiveness and the grace to respond better the next time. Finally look ahead to tomorrow and focus on a critical point like a difficult thing you must do, and talk to the Holy Spirit asking for guidance with that difficult thing.
