A minister had had a car for many years and finally it began to break down. He simply didn’t have the mechanical knowledge to repair it, nor did he feel he could afford to have it worked on, so he sold it to a young mechanical genius in high school.
The young man was ecstatic. “I will make it as good as new. Thank you for the opportunity.”
And so he began to work on the car. Month after month when the minister would pass by his house, he would see the garage door open and the young man diligently working away. Over a year had past and he continued to work on the car to make it perfect before he drove it.
Two years passed and a third year was about to become a reality and still the car was not being driven.
Shaking his head, the minister muttered to himself, “I know that ole car wasn’t perfect and that it needed a lot of repair, but mechanical genius or not he seems to have forgotten that cars are for going places and getting things done.”
The church…your faith…they are for going places and getting things done. Never forget it.
And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.
—1 John 2:3-6

BELOW IS A QUOTE FROM TOMORROW’S ONE A DAY BLOG entitled DON’T WHITTLE STICKS, BUILD TEMPLES
“It is not enough to admire Jesus, however extravagantly; or worship him, however devoutly; but to follow him, which is after all is all he asks us to do.”

A QUOTE FROM THE PRAYER SERIES
“When you prayed, first did you listen? Some people take the scripture that reads “Speak Lord, for thy servant heareth” and rewrite it to read, “Listen Lord, thy servant speaketh.”
(1 Samuel 3:10)
Could what you prayed for be considered a Christian prayer? Remember …if you end your prayer with the words “In Jesus name” you certainly want to have prayed a prayer he would approve.
Was it a prayer you really wanted to be answered, something you really wanted to take place, an improvement in your person you were really committed to following through on. A half hearted prayer is a wasted opportunity.”
