"A GENTLE ANSWER TURNS AWAY WRATH, BUT A HARSH WORD STIRS UP ANGER." Wednesday
Posted by: bigguyhereagain <bigguyhereagain@...>
how true that is indeed! ( PROVERBS 21:23 )
The Apostle Paul wrote;
DO NOT LET ANY UNWHOLESOME TALK COME OUT
FOR BUILDING OTHERS UP ACCORDING TO THEIR
NEEDS, THAT IT MAY BENEFIT THOSE WHO LISTEN.
SWEET TO THE SOUL AND HEALING TO THE BONES.
( PROVERBS 16:24 ) So, keep your words soft, sweet and pleasing to our Heavenly Father. After all He hears every word that we say!
So just as King David did, remember these words when someone angers you. Then next time before your anger can take control, recite them in your mind. "MAY THE WORDS OF MY MOUTH AND THE MEDITATION OF MY HEART BE PLEASING IN YOUR SIGHT, O LORD, MY ROCK AND MY REDEEMER. Amen. ( PSALM 19:14 )
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.
Many folks want to serve God,
but only as advisers
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 and
sand gnats 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 middle
of the road, and the back of
the church.
Opportunity may knock once,
but temptation bangs on your
front door forever.
Quit griping about your church;
if it was perfect, you couldn't belong.
If the church wants a better
pastor, it only needs to pray
for the one it has.
God Himself does not propose
to judge a man until he is dead.
So why should you?
Some minds are like concrete,
thoroughly mixed up and
permanently set.
Peace starts with a smile.
I don't know why some people
change churches; what
difference does it make which
one you stay home from?
A lot of church members
who are singing "Standing
on the Promises" are just
sitting on the premises.
We were called to be witnesses,
not lawyers or judges
Be ye fishers of men.
You catch them - He'll clean them.
Coincidence is when God
chooses to remain anonymous.
Don't put a question mark
where God put a period.
Don't wait for 6 strong men
to take you to church.
Forbidden fruits create many jams.
God doesn't call the qualified,
He qualifies the called.
God grades on the cross,
not the curve.
God loves everyone, but
probably prefers "fruits of the spirit"
over "religious nuts!"
God promises a safe landing,
not a calm passage.
He who angers you, controls you!
If God is your Copilot - swap seats!
Prayer: Don't give God
instructions -- just report for duty!
The task ahead of us is never
as great as the Power behind us.
The Will of God will never
take you to where the Grace
of God will not protect you.
We don't change the message,
the message changes us.
You can tell how big a person
is by what it takes to
discourage him.
The best mathematical
equation I have ever seen:
1 cross + 3 nails = 4 given.
"Dear Father: Bless the person reading this in whatever it is that You know they need." Amen!
