Practice What You Preach

This item has made the email rounds for a few years but still good for a chuckle.


The  light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing,  stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red  light by accelerating through the intersection.
The  tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in  frustration, as she missed her chance to get through the intersection,  dropping her cell phone and makeup.
As she was still in  mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of  a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car  with her hands up.
He took her to the police station where she  was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a holding  cell.
After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell  and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where  the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.
He  said, ''I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind  your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in  front of you and cussing a blue streak at him.


I noticed the 'What  Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the 'Choose Life' license plate  holder, the 'Follow Me to Sunday-School' bumper sticker, and the  chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk, so naturally....

I  assumed you had stolen the  car.''

Prejudice In the Church?

The first century Christian church had to deal with the problem of prejudice within the Body of Christ. It started with the difference between Jewish Christians and Gentile Christians. Later there were the differences between rich and poor and slave and free with always one group feeling that they were better than the other. Some men were thinking they were better than women.

 

Paul would write to the Galatians in chapter three, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”

 

Today we still face human prejudice in the church and the problems are the same. We try to bring our society into the Body of Christ where no spirit is better or less than any other spirit in the sight of God. All of us are sinners who have been forgiven and restored. I pray daily for spiritual help to combat prejudice and to promote the unity and bond of love for Christ in all people.

Have You Ever???

Have you ever given thought as to what God might want to do in your life?

 

Most people have never given that idea a second thought nor even a first thought. Yet we each have a unique soul and a spirit that hungers for a connection with God. That spiritual relationship can be positive, wonderful and filled with love.

 

What hinders us from the experience of God in our lives? God never forces us into a relationship because for love to be real it must be freely given and freely received. We are in the driver’s seat when it comes to loving or not loving God. To feel the love we must be open to loving from deep with in. When you open yourself to God’s Holy Spirit get ready for some awesome wonders. I speak from experience.

Girl Friends Lunch Reunions

GIRLFRIENDS AT LUNCH

  A group of 40 year old girlfriends discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed that they should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because the waiters there had tight pants and nice buns.

10 years later at 50 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed that they should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because the food there was very good and the wine selection was good also.

 10 years later at 60 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed that they should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because they could eat there in peace and quiet and the restaurant had a beautiful view of the ocean.

 10 years later, at 70 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed that they should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because the restaurant was wheelchair accessible and they even had an elevator.

 10 years later, at 80 years of age, the group once again discussed Where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed that they should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because they had never been there before.

 

Anger Management

I learned a hard lesson as a young man in Texas. When I get angry enough to be out of control I lash out with abandon and create havoc in the world around me. This havoc would often come back to haunt me and cause me grief. I decided that my anger needed to be managed.

 

This was before the days of “Anger Management Seminars” so I was left to fend for myself in finding a solution to my fits of peak. My best example was my mother who had plenty to be angry about but always seemed calm. I sought her advice and she said to pray about it. Well that was her answer for everything as she is a lady of great faith. At that time prayer did not come easy for me because even though I could say the words I didn’t have a feeling for it and it was just words.

 

Then I experienced a spiritual awaking and found the power of a daily prayer life. I read in Daniel 6:10 that Daniel prayed three times as day to put himself in the presence of God. When you put yourself in the presence of God you are doing more than just saying words. Now I am having a conversation and it put my anger at others in perspective. Prayer becomes my source for patience, gentleness, self control, and a sense of power. Now havoc no long rules. 

How To Start A Fight

A woman was standing in the bedroom looking in the mirror. She was not happy with what she saw and said to her husband, "I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment."

Her husband didn't even look up and said, "Well at least your eyesight is near prefect."

And then the fight began
