The last thing Jesus said on this Earth is "Go into all the world teaching and preaching" Matthew 28:19-20. To this point Paul writes in his letters, "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ." Romans 10:17

"For He says, `At the acceptable time I listened to you, And on the day of salvation I helped you; behold, now is 'the acceptable time, 'behold, now is 'the day of salvation--" 2 Corinthians 6:2

And James states it this way, "Be ye doers of the Word and not just hearers, deceiving yourself." James 1:22

"About this time I met with a track written by an atheist. It read as follows: "Did I firmly believe, as millions say they do, that the knowledge and practice of religion in this life influences destiny in another, religion would mean to me everything. I would cast away earthly enjoyments as dross, earthly cares as follies, and earthly thoughts and feelings as vanity. Religion would be my first waking thought, and my last image before sleep sank me into unconsciousness. I should labour in its cause alone. I would take thought for the morrow of Eternity alone. I would esteem one soul gained for heaven worth a life of suffering. Earthly consequences should never stay my hand nor seal my lips. Earth, its joys and its grief's, would occupy no moment of my thoughts. I would strive to look upon Eternity alone, and on the Immortal Souls around me, soon to be everlastingly happy or everlastingly miserable. I would go forth to the world and preach to it in season and out of season and my text would be, "WHAT SHALL IT PROFIT A MAN IF HE GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOOSE HIS SOUL?" C.T. Studd, Autobiography, pg 40.

Son, whatever weakens your reasoning, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, or takes away your relish for spiritual things; in short, if anything increases the authority and power of the flesh over the Spirit, then that to you becomes sin, however good it is in itself." -- Susanna Wesley

Sin is selfishness

What you believe determines how you think.

A well-known speaker started off his seminar holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill. He then asked, "Who still wants it...?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air. "My friends, we have all learned a very valuable 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, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE --Copied

A.W. Tozer's Rules of Self-Discovery:

1. What we want most?

2. What we think about most?

3. How we use our money?

4. What we do with our leisure time?

5. The company we enjoy?

6. Whom and what we enjoy?

7. What we laugh at?

I strongly suspect that if we saw all the difference even the tiniest of our prayers make, and all the people those little prayers were destined to affect, and all the consequences of those prayers down through the centuries, we would be so paralyzed with awe at the power of prayer that we would be unable to get up off our knees for the rest of our lives.

When you pray, if you get bored and your mind wanders...it is a gift from God. God is telling you what is more important than Him. Notice what you think about, these are more important than God and therefore your idols. -- Brandon Pasion

See, then, how God educates your soul through prayer, nurturing your desires for truth, love and beauty, and teaching you to discover them in himself. Play truant from the school of prayer and you will never learn these things. You will be a spiritual ignoramus, shallow and undeveloped and unable to understand the things of the Spirit. What Happens When I Pray.

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts."

Forgiveness has more to do with your tongue than your head or heart. If you’re still talking about it, you haven’t forgiven. --Mark Gungor

"ANYWAY"
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world your best anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength--Corrie Ten Boom

Worry is like paying on a debt that may never come due.--
Will Rogers

We can, whenever and wherever we choose, successfully teach all children whose schooling is of interest to us. We already know more than we need to do that. Whether or not we do it must finally depend on how we feel about the fact that we haven't so far. ~Ron Edmonds

Don's Axiom reads, "Every organization starts with vision and zeal, moves to complacency and ends killing itself with rules and regulations--always with the best intentions."

"Loosen up. Don`t you have some people to hug,rocks to skip,or lips to kiss? It`s time to retire...not from your job, just retire from your attitude.

Mr. Scott died this weekend. One of my best memories in life occurred with his son Mike and daughter-in-law Laura. His last words after saying good-bye to his family around his bed was, "Well it is now just you and me Lord Jesus." Suddenly, the activity of life became unimportant. I have not been able to break the spell of these simple words. Life is after all about what happens after the last breath.
