It is a Sin to Plow

Proverbs 21:4 ...and the plowing of the wicked is sin.

If something as common as plowing, which is not inherently sinful, is called sin when done by the wicked, then how can we continue to say, "He's a good man even though he doesn't know the Lord."?
Apparently, nothing is acceptable to the Lord but the righteousness that is found in Jesus.
Will the church ever begin to make the distinctions that the Lord makes?
Or, will she continue to follow the ways of the world in tolerance and acceptance of that which is an abomination to the Lord?

My wife and I stopped in for a cup of coffee the other day. While travelling toward home, she read me a quote on one of the cups. It was titled "The Way I See It #275:
When I wake up in the morning, I want to know that my family, friends and fans know what I believe in and what I'm all about. That's what should be important. Robert Randolph"
I don't know who Robert Randolph is.
I do know that we had just come from Sunday School where we talked about the Big I being the cause of sIn.
At first blush, we talked about how this was an example of the Big I.
I decided that was worth putting on the Blog.
However, as I have contemplated this, I realized there may be more truth to this than I first thought.
We are finishing up a study on discipleship at our Wednesday night group, where we have emphasized the importance of witnessing to our faith in the Lord.
When I apply Mr. Randolph's thoughts to that, I am forced to ask myself these questions:
Does everyone around me know what I stand for?
Do they know what I believe?
Can they tell from simply observing my life what is most important to me?
Can people see that Jesus is Lord by noting my actions?

What about you?
