Gangrene Attitudes

Summary: Your attitudes will determine your altitudes. Few will honestly acknowledge they have bad attitudes. Cain? Job's wife? Martha? How about you? The issues of life grow from our attitudes. Several part lesson.
That was 20 years ago. My friend that walked out and quit their job has never recovered. They never found as good of a job and as high of a pay scale as they had. 20 years of hurt because ONE AGIGATAOR THAT HAD GREAT PRIDE IN HURTING the boss. The boss went on after that bump and kept a positive attitude and refused to be REDUCED to the agitation level. Time will reveal all agitators. My friend will tell you how SHE REGRETS THAT ONE DAY JOINING WITH ONE NEGATIVE AGITATOR.
Have you ever heard of a person in anger slamming the door? Leaving work? Stomping out of a church? In my opinion this is very dangerous.
To fall down can be an accident, but to stay down is a choice….
ATTITUDE is a little thing that makes a big difference. Winston Churchill
People hear your words, and see your deeds, but they feel your attitudes.
LIFE IS FULL OF CONFLICT. We must learn the power of CREATIVE USE OF CONFLICT. We must learn to bounce like a ball. There will always be UPS and DOWNS we must learn to quit reacting to problems and ACT BY FAITH. Lifestyles improve when we keep POSITIVE ATTITUDES and strife to be better.
Bitter or better is about our choices. Bitterness is about our choices. Growing into a better person is about your effort and focus.
I think the Bible teaches if we will KEEP OUR FAITH and press forward through the storms and trials and KEEP OUR CONFIDENCE and the RIGHT ATTITUDES God can open the right doors and close the wrong ones…
THERE IS A BETTER ATTITUDE THAT WE CAN LEARN… It is not an instinct, but a learned behavior.
If you don’t like something CHANGE IT. If you can’t change the problem you can change your attitude about it.
THE BIBLE TEACHES US IF WE WILL STAY POSITIVE AND WALK BY FAITH WE CAN HAVE GOOD VISION AND WE CAN REACH BEYOND OUR ABILITIES.
It is better to aim at the stars and hit the moon than it is to aim at a MUD PUDDLE and hit it every time.
YOU KNOW THAT A BAD ATTITUDE IS MUCH LIKE A FLAT TIRE. YOU CAN’T GO VERY FAR UNTIL YOU CHANGE IT…
YOU CAN NEVER CORRECT WHAT YOU REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE.
I saw on FACEBOOK recently: I WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGIZE TO ANYONE I HAVE NOT OFFENDED YET. PLEASE BE PATIENT, I WILL GET AROUND TO OFFENDING YOU SOON?
Today everybody is right. Nobody is wrong? How can we repent if we are always right?
We tend to laugh at people when they fall?
ATTITUDES CAN DIFFER IN THE SAME HOME. LOT HAD GOOD ATTITUDES, MRS. LOT HAD GANGRENE ATTITUDES.
Job 2:9-10 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die. 10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
IN THE SAME HOUSE CAN GROW A GANGRENE ATTITUDE AND A SWEET ATTIITUDE…
Luke 10:40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. 41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: 42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
