Wise Words

Christian One-Liners 

From an email - revamped a bit by yours truly... Enjoy!




+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+

Don't let your worries get the best of you;
Remember, Moses started out as a basket case.


+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+

Some people are kind, polite, and sweet-spirited...
Until you try to sit in their pews.


 +*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+



 +*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+


It is easier to preach ten sermons than it is to live one.



+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+

The good Lord didn't create anything without a purpose, 
but mosquitoes come close.


+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+


When you get to your wit's end,
You'll find God lives there.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+


 People are funny;
They want the  Front of the bus,
 the
and back of the church


+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+




+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
 

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+


Some minds are like concrete
Thoroughly mixed up and permanently set.


+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+


 +*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+




+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+


A lot of church members singing
Standing on the Promises' are just sitting on the 
premises.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+


Be ye fishers of men.
You catch'em - He'll clean'em.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+


 I don't know why some people change churches;
What difference does it make which one you stay home from?


+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+


 +*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+


Coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous.


+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+




+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+


God loves everyone,
But probably prefers 'fruits of the spirit' over 'religious nuts!'


+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+

You can tell how big a person is
by what it takes to discourage him.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+





+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+


 God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+




+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+

If God is your Co-pilot, swap seats!

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+


Prayer: Don't give God instructions, just report for duty!

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+


We don't change the message,
 The message changes us.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+

Don't put a question mark where God put a period.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+




+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+

 The Will of God never takes you to where the
Grace of God will not protect you.


 +*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+



If you liked this
share it with a few friends to bless them!




Happy New Year!

The Light of the World

In His Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5, Jesus begins with the Beatitudes.You've all heard them - and perhaps even taken them to heart. There is a wealth of blessing within these poetic words, but many people disregard what comes right after the Beatitudes. This morning while reading further, I was reminded that we, as Christians, are supposed to "let our light shine."


             Jesus gave this example: "You are the light of the world.  A city on a hill cannot be hidden.



                                         Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.

                             Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.



 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."  Matthew 5:13-16


I have been moved to do a blog that hopefully does exactly that...let my light shine. My intention is not to judge or to cram my beliefs down anyone's throat.  I only want to keep a record of my own journey - and I would  like to share new discoveries as I travel through life: insights into the Word of God, lessons learned, blessings, divine interventions, and anything else that I feel the Lord is teaching me.

I am not planning to advertise this blog the same way as I do my writer's blog. Instead, I'd like to trust the Lord to lead people here in His own way and in His own timing as He sees fit.  I believe this is something He has led me to do, and  I have no idea how often - or even what I will be posting.  My prayer is that He will guide me so that the words I write, the scriptures I quote, the stories I tell, and even the pictures I post are exactly what He knows someone, somewhere needs to see.

So for now, in this modest beginning, I will share with you a verse that I have placed right in the middle of my refrigerator door as a reminder of what is expected of me each and every day.  It is amazing how simple it sounds, and I love how beautifully it is summed up in two sentences:




Thank you for visiting.
