2/10– If you don’t get out of the box you’ve been raised in, you won’t understand how much bigger the world is

Scripture:

Hebrews 10:25

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Old man goes to church

One Sunday morning an old cowboy entered a church just before services

were to begin. Although the old man and his clothes were spotlessly clean,

he wore jeans, a denim shirt and boots that were very worn and ragged. In

his hand he carried a worn out old hat and an equally worn out Bible.r>

The church he entered was in a very upscale and exclusive part of the

city. It was the largest and most beautiful church the old cowboy had

ever seen. The people of the congregation were all dressed with

expensive clothes and accessories.

As the cowboy took a seat, the others moved away from him. No one

greeted, spoke to, or welcomed him. They were all appalled at his

appearance and did not attempt to hide it.

As the old cowboy was leaving the church, the preacher approached him

and asked the cowboy to do him a favor. “Before you come back in here

again, have a talk with God and ask him what he thinks would be

appropriate attire for worship.” The old cowboy assured the preacher he

would.

The next Sunday, he showed back up for the services wearing the same

ragged jeans, shirt, boots, and hat. Once again he was completely

shunned and ignored. The preacher approached the man and said, “I

thought I asked you to speak to God before you came back to our church.”

“I did,” replied the old cowboy.

“If you spoke to God, what did he tell you the proper attire should be

for worshiping in here?” asked the preacher.

“Well, sir, God told me that He didn’t have a clue what I should wear.

He said He’d never been in this church “

Quote:

The principles of living greatly include the capacity to face trouble with courage, disappointment with cheerfulness, and trial with humility.

Story:

2/9–A young man with a very bad temper received about a thousand nails from his father. The father told his son that every time he felt rage, he should take a deep breath and hammer a nail into the fence.

On the first day, the boy pushed 39 nails into the fence. The following days, he pushed about 30 nails each time. And as the days went by, he realized punching through the fence took time and effort. 

Because he didn’t want to keep doing this anymore, the young man strategized. He decided to do his best to control his temper. So day after day, the number of nails he had to hammer slowly decreased.

Not long after, the day came when he didn’t get an urge to use any nails. That moment, it dawned on him that he can already control his temper. With this exciting news, he rushed to his father. His father was proud of him. 

Then the father took the young man to see the fence where the nails were hammered. And he left him with an important lesson:

“It’s important to control your temper and find a solution to make it go away. Like the nails you hammered into the fence, your anger will always be there. And the more frequently you get angry, the more scars you leave.”

Scripture:

Romans 5:3-4

And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

Humor:

A Christian guy named Bill saw an ad online for a Christian horse, so he went to check it out. The horse’s owner said, “It’s easy to ride him. Just say ‘Praise the Lord!’ to make him go and ‘Amen!’ to make him stop.” Bill got on the horse and said, “Praise the Lord!” Sure enough, the horse started to walk. “Praise the Lord!” he said again, and the horse began to trot. “Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!” he yelled, and the horse broke into a gallop. Bill was enjoying his ride so much that he almost didn’t notice the cliff he and the horse were about to go over. Bill shosuted “AMEN!” at the top of his lungs, and the horse stopped right at the edge of

Make your interactions with people transformational, not just transactional

Story:

What does the Bible mean to you? A man was injured in an explosion in Kansas City resulting in a badly disfigured face and the loss of his eyesight. He also lost both hands in the explosion.

One of his greatest disappointments, however, was in his realization that he could no longer read the Bible as he had done for years. He heard of a young lady in England who had learned to read the Bible in braile – with her lips. Much to his dismay, the nerve endings on his lips were so severely damaged in the fire that he could not utilize them to read.

Accidentally, he brushed the raised Braille characters with his tongue-and discovered that he could learn to read Braille with his tongue. At last count the disabled man had read the Bible through – four times!

And we have difficulty reading the Bible?

Scripture:

2 Timothy 2:15

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Humor:

A pastor went to speak to a group of fourth graders on the topic of marriage. He asked, “I wonder if anyone of you know what God has to say about marriage?”

Immediately one little boy was waving his hand back and forth and the pastor called on him and said, “Ok, what does God have to say about marriage?”

The little boy replied, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.”

The truth is – sometimes we really don’t know what we are doing.
