Do Something 

Story:

The Lost Watch Once a farmer lost his gold watch in his big barn. As it was not only expensive but it also had sentimental value, he spent a lot of time searching among the hay. But he gave up and asked some children playing near the barn to help him find his watch and promised a reward. The children got inside the barn and started searching everywhere. They went through and around the entire stack of hay but no luck. They could not find the watch. The farmer was about to give up searching for the watch, when a little boy asked to be given another chance. The farmer gave the boy permission and the boy went back to the barn. After 20 minutes, the little boy came out holding the watch in his hand! The farmer was surprised, and asked the boy how he found the watch when the rest of them had failed. The boy said, “All I did was to sit quietly on the ground and listen. After a while, in the silence, I heard the ticking of your watch,” so I just looked for it in that direction!

Scripture:

Hebrews 4:2

For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

Don’t Let Imaginations Limit You

During a research experiment a marine biologist placed a shark into a large holding tank and then released several small bait fish into the tank.

As you would expect, the shark quickly swam around the tank, attacked and ate the smaller fish.

The marine biologist then inserted a strong piece of clear fiberglass into the tank, creating two separate partitions. She then put the shark on one side of the fiberglass and a new set of bait fish on the other.

Again, the shark quickly attacked. 

This time, however, the shark slammed into the fiberglass divider and bounced off. Undeterred, the shark kept repeating this behavior every few minutes to no avail.  Meanwhile, the bait fish swam around unharmed in the second partition. Eventually, about an hour into the experiment, the shark gave up.

This experiment was repeated several dozen times over the next few weeks. Each time, the shark got less aggressive and made fewer attempts to attack the bait fish, until eventually the shark got tired of hitting the fiberglass divider and simply stopped attacking altogether.

The marine biologist then removed the fiberglass divider, but the shark didn’t attack. The shark was trained to believe a barrier existed between it and the bait fish, so the bait fish swam wherever they wished, free from harm.”

You Have To Earn Your Stripes To Be An Elder

A black mule is not a zebra, even if you paint white stripes on it!

1 Timothy 3:1-7 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

From Brother Jerome Dean

One day three ministers went fishing. One minister said he was going to the store. He stepped out of the boat and walked on water to the store and came back the same way. The second said he was going to the store same as the first minister. The third minister said if they had the faith to walk on water so could he step on the water and fell in. He got back in the boat and tried a second time and went in the water. The first minister asked the second mister, should we tell him where the row of stumps are! 😷

How Much Is Used $20 Bill Worth?

“A popular speaker started off a seminar by holding up a $20 bill. A crowd of 200 had gathered to hear him speak. He asked, ‘Who would like this $20 bill?’200 hands went up.

He said, ‘I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this.’ He crumpled the bill up.

He then asked, ‘Who still wants it?’

All 200 hands were still raised.

Well,’ he replied, ‘What if I do this?’ Then he dropped the bill on the ground and stomped on it with his shoes.

He picked it up, and showed it to the crowd. The bill was all crumpled and dirty. Now who still wants it?’

All the hands still went up.

My friends, I have just showed you a very important lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. 

Many times in our lives, life crumples us and grinds us into the dirt. We make bad decisions or deal with poor circumstances. We feel worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. You are special – Don’t ever forget it!’

When Dennis Parker and D. W. Rutledge arrived as assistant coaches at Converse Judson High School in San Antonio, Texas, they knew there was something missing in the players they coached—some intangible quality that it took to make a champion. It was clear the team had the talent to be better than it was. Parker understood that problems on the football field were not physical but mental. That’s when these men launched a concept that was initially scoffed at by most of their peers.

Rutledge and Parker ascribed to the Stanford theory that 8 percent of an individual’s success is based on ability, while 92 percent is based on attitude. So they decided to test this “hypothesis and proposed to move kids out of the weight room and into the classroom to teach character development. It wasn’t long before their critics stopped laughing, sat up, and took notice.

The results were astounding. After only one year in the program, Converse Judson went from having a very mediocre season to a winning record of 14 and 1 in 1982. This team of converted athletes then proceeded to seize the Texas AAAAA State Championship the following year.

Stories like this were duplicated time and again over the next fourteen years, as the careers of Parker and Rutledge moved them to coach at high schools and colleges throughout Texas. Their newfound “philosophy turned athletic programs around and led numerous teams to state championships. Suddenly, teams that hadn’t seen victory since 1940 were setting records.

Football scores weren’t the only things to improve. Test scores went up as kids developed confidence and self-esteem. What started as a program whose sole goal was to win football games evolved into a life-changing curriculum. Rutledge and Parker had discovered a gold mine and wanted to share this valuable treasure with as many coaches and kids as possible. Zig Ziglar made that possible by turning Coaching to Change Lives into a published curriculum available to any coach who wanted a practical tool to teach players principles of character, attitude, “integrity, goal setting, self-image, and responsibility. Now these life-changing principles are being taught in classrooms across Texas.

One need only look at the wave of school shootings and youth violence in our country to understand the importance of building character and leadership in our society. Zig has made a positive difference in many lives, but his involvement with the Living to Change Lives Foundation will have an even greater impact. Through his work with young people, he is creating a lasting legacy that will benefit generations to come.

It doesn’t matter where you’re born, how much money you have, or what your educational level is. What matters is that you recognize you “can make a difference and that God has a purpose for you.”
