Luke 6:47-49 - "Everyone
who comes to Me, and hears My words, and acts upon them, I will show
you whom he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and
laid a foundation upon the rock; and when a flood rose, the torrent
burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been
well built. "But the one who has heard, and has not acted accordingly,
is like a man who built a house upon the ground without any foundation;
and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the
ruin of that house was great."
Two
boys were talking together when the younger asked, "Wouldn't you hate
to wear glasses?" "No," answered the other, "not if I had my
grandmother's kind. They make her see just how to mend broken things,
and help her find lots of nice things to do on rainy days.
She
sees when folks are tired or sorry, and what'll make them feel better.
And she always sees what you meant to do, even if you haven't got things
quite right. I asked her one day how she could see that way all the
time, and she said it was the way she had learned to look at things as
she grew older, so I just know it's her spectacles that does it."
There
are indeed people who when you say “Good morning” to them, basically
meet you with an attitude that growls, “What do you mean by that
remark?” Others meet the day with such a lively, positive response they make you smile just remembering them.
And perhaps you think; dear Lord, what can I do to make people who are out of love with life find more joy in it? How can I help them to give up their own private rain cloud for a sunshine-faith that works?
The answer, of course, begins with you and me. Smiling at the world around us more often than frowning. Radiating the positive rather than shading everything with a negative. Remembering that we are Christian examples to our non-Christian brethren and that they are not deaf, dumb or blind. What we are is what they get and if it is not Christian we have damaged our faith in a way that should make us weep.
Have
you ever wondered how any intelligent individual could behave in such a
manner he actually drives away the very people he wants and needs? How can anyone smart sometimes act so dumb?
Well, actually it is surprisingly simple. Psychologists tell us that intelligence isn’t everything we think it’s cracked up to be. It actually influences only 20% of our decisions. The rest of our actions fall heir to our emotional responses. Or,
let’s put it this way; when we allow a gut-feeling to take over when a
God-commandment would be better, we are only asking for trouble.

powerful utterances...skillfully enhancing our understanding and

strength."
Lt. Colonel C.A. Olsen (Ret.) Asbury College (Professor Ret.)
"The Spiritual Abraham Lincoln is an
extremely well written book that investigates what might be termed the
spiritual side of President Lincoln. It's both scholarly and very
readable. I came away impressed at Mr. Wyrick's portrayal of the
President and with an altered and enlarged vision of the man:'
William Hoffman, Award winning fiction writer; author of Blood and Guile, and Wild Thorn

has authored a wonderful examination of the spirituality of one of
