Should we strive to be like Jesus! Of course! But He was perfect, and for me, there’s always a little sense within that I know I am going to fall short of that perfection. I know I should keep it as a goal before me. Frankly, if I aim for that, I’ll get nearer than if I don’t, and if I am devoted

Charles Haddon Spurgeon: ‘That the king should say to the petitioner, “Bring your case before me, and I will grant your desire,” is kindness. But for Him to say, “I will be your secretary. I will write out your petition for you. I will put it into proper words so that your petition shall be framed

We should be like little Johnny. After church, Johnny tells his parents he has to go and talk to the minister right away. They agree and the pastor greets the family.
"Pastor," Johnny says, "I heard you say today that our bodies came from the dust & when we die our bodies go back to dust.”

Our praying should be like the story of Jacob wrestling with God in Genesis 32. They wrestled all night and toward morning, Jacob had the angel in a full Nelson grip. The angel said, “Jacob, let me go.” The mighty Angel of God could have tossed Jacob off in a heartbeat, but God was teaching Jacob

Why is it that we can be so intolerant about other people’s faults and so blind to our own?
o When you get angry, you have a bad temper; when I get angry, I’ve had a bad day.
o When you don’t like someone, you’re a bigot; when I don’t like someone I’m a good judge of character
o When you

Why is it important that we let God be first in out life? Because we may touch others when God is leading. Miss Thompson taught Teddy Stallard in the fourth grade. He was a slow, unkempt student, a loner shunned by his classmates. The previous year his mother died, and what little motivation for

"Why is the F*** word and and the Sh** word used so freely today? Jesus doesn’t directly include this in what He says about oaths in Matthew 5 but it is there by way of application and other passages enlarge on this area of sin, so I am taking a detour. The spirit of what Jesus is saying in Matthew
