His demeanor was neither theological or philosophical, just from his point of view practical.
He sat in my study and simply stated he had wanted to say it to a preacher for a long time.
“Christianity doesn’t make good sense, this business of thinking of other people before yourself; giving away money instead of keeping it; sacrificing time and energy in some idiotic expression of benevolence; wearing out your heart and head over other people’s problems when you have enough of your own.
The only thing that makes sense is selfishness. Get all you can. Keep all you can. Let the other fellow get by as best he can. Create your own private little corporation dedicated to greed.”
It was a long winded expose’ of his thoughts and now he paused to see how I would respond.
My response did not cause him to perform a 180 degree turn around. I could tell however that he was listening.
“It always comes down to worship because the word actually means how much value we place on a person or thing. It may be God in heaven, or a NFL football team, but it always boils down to what has value and how much.”
He sat in silence. I continued, “Christianity is really only two things; it is either a challenge or a bribe. Take it as a bribe, you say “Alright, what can I get out of it? What’s in for me?” Approach it as a challenge and you say, “What can I give? What must I become? Wordsworth wrote “We live by admiration.”
Start by trying to admire God and one does not have to worry about spiritual inertia.”

A quote below from ONE A DAY blog entitled A LANGUAGE PROBLEM
I remember the first time I saw the word "adult language" preceding the showing of a film. Was it just that I would be hearing obscenity or was it a kind of permission time? Was it verbal pollution finally getting a stamp of approval in living color?

THE WHY OF YOUR LIVING
****************************************
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEND THIS BLOG TO A FRIEND GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS BLOG AND CLICK ON THE ENVELOPE.
*****************************************

What will God ask?
In that future time of questions perhaps he will inquire not what you have destroyed but what you have built, not what you have condemned but what you have blessed, not where you have planted seeds of discord by faultfinding but where you have cultivated a bountiful harvest of improvement.
Perhaps he will ask, How often did you love?
How often did you contain your anger as against letting it roam destructively wherever it wished? How often did you forgive?
How often did you promote unity and make the angels sing?
What will God ask?
I, too, must wait to find out, how the hand and heart of our loving God will bring to happen the wonderful promises he has given…but while we live, it does justice to time and eternity to ask the questions and at the same time look for honest answers rather than withering excuses.
For his commandments are such a guidedance and our living can be such a worship.

DON'T LOSE YOUR PRAYER WHILE PRAYING
************************************

A mother and son were having lunch together in a restaurant. When the food had been served the mother said, “Let’s have a silent prayer.”
When finished she saw that her son’s head still was bowed - and remained that way for a long time.
Finally he opened his eyes and began to eat. “What were you praying about all that time?” asked the mother. “How do I know?” replied the son. “It was a silent prayer.”
When we pray, we must not do that – be so absentminded and apathetic that a few minutes later we don’t have a clue what we just prayed. Rather, be concerned with totally committed prayers, not mouthing,
Oops, I let my mind go wandering again.
Pray with an intensity that underlines every word that is heaven bound. Nor when we pray, be satisfied with a bunt. Go for a home run. Pray mountain prayers – not molehill mutterings.

IS WISDOM YOUR FRIEND?
**************************************
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEND THIS BLOG TO A FRIEND GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS BLOG AND CLICK ON THE ENVELOPE.
**************************************

We’re all getting older and there are things we can do to improve our health, mental, physical and spiritual. So…on this particular day…I ran across a piece of info that has the power of plus in it. The wisdom of thinking positive. And the lack of wisdom in thinking negative.
How do you see yourself? As wiser because of your years or senile?
Well, it isn’t just emotional health that is improved by seeing yourself in the best light possible. Physical health shows improvement also. A study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, suggest that our mindset can even influence how we walk.
They conducted a test and the results are astounding.
Participants in the test first walked a distance equal to the length of a football field. Researchers recorded their speed and the time their feet spent off the ground.
Then they briefly played a computer game.
While playing the game positive words such as “wise” flashed on the screen for half the participants. On the screens of the other half words such as “senile.”
Then they walked again. Those who had had positive reinforcement now walked 9 percent faster.
I guess what I am saying is that to chase after and capture often the power of positive thinking is very wise…and backed by statistics to boot.
So the beginning of wisdom is seeing opportunity in every difficulty rather than seeing difficulty in every opportunity…and good sight and insight to you.
Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through him who strengthens me. "

BITTERNESS…A TIME OF WOUNDING
*******************************************
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEND THIS BLOG TO A FRIEND GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS BLOG AND CLICK ON THE ENVELOPE.

********************************************
The results of being bittererness remain for a long long while, the scars both seen and felt by a host of folk.
If love is a joy, then bitterness is a sadness.
And how easily offended are the bitter…always looking for a way to become more offended and therefore more bitter.
I like the ole joke, “No matter how long you nurse a grudge, it won’t get any better.”
What is bitterness? It begins as anger and then when fed over a long period of time moves in to the household of our soul to stay.
Chuck Colson tells the story about a Mrs. Washington who, during a graduation ceremony for inmates completing a Prison Fellowship program, swept to the stage to wrap her arms around a graduating inmate, declaring "this young man is my adopted son." Everyone had tears in their eyes for they knew that this young man was behind bars for the murder of Mrs. Washington's daughter.
The bitter could not would not do that…and to what avail.
"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamour, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also forgave you" (Ephesians 4:31,32).

WORRY…WHAT IS IT…WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT
**************************************
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEND THIS BLOG TO A FRIEND GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS BLOG AND CLICK ON THE ENVELOPE.
***************************************
There are over 500 stories and commentaries on this blog that began Nov 24, 2009. We'd hope and pray that as you file back through the days many of them will hold special inspiration and motivation for you.
***************************************
The little girl was so excited. They were at Disney World and she was going to ride the roller coaster on Space mountain.
She had been warned by her father that it was fast and had sharp turns and might be too scary for her.
But she wanted to ride it anyway. And she did…three times.
The next year as she stood in line ready to ride again her father could see that she was carefully studying the signs that warn about the ride’s speed.
Finally, she turned to him and said, “Dad, I don’t want to go.”
“Why dear,” you enjoyed it so much last year.
“Yeah, I know dad. But this year I can read.”
Before you start to think about the day before you and worry about the day before you…consider the following things that probably aren’t going to happen.
You wake up face down on the pavement.
You call Suicide Prevention and they put you on hold.
You see a "60 Minutes" news team waiting in your office.
Your birthday cake collapses from the weight of the candles.
You turn on the news and they're showing emergency routes out of the city.
Your twin sister forgot your birthday.
Your car horn goes off accidentally and remains stuck as you follow a group of Hell's Angels on the freeway
But just in case you decide you’d like to lessen the things you worry about…try some of the following
“Set aside a day 3 to 7 days from now to worry…then write the worry down and put it in a box…then when that day comes, and you pull your written worries out, you may well be surprised at how many of the things you were worried about will have been solved or you will have learned how to live with it or them.”
Sing at least once a day…it doesn’t matter whether you have a good voice or not…just the act of singing is good for your insides…
Bloom like a flower…be a positive voice in the midst of negative events…something good can be found in almost everything…so be a finder…a cotton pickin’ bloomin’ finder who having found the good in the midst of bad rushes around sharing it with all of those around you.
Daily seek out a sunrise or a sunset (both is better) and let their joyous creative moment surge over you like an incoming tide.
Read your Bible…it will increase your knowledge of God and that will increase your faith. You say you don’t have the time while you are using some of that time you don’t have to worry.
And as a way to improve your attitude toward worry; think of it as a rocking chair…it gives you something to do but it doesn’t get you anywhere.
The Scots have a good way of thinking they have a proverb that goes “What may be, may not be."
Consider that worry does nothing good for you…it certainly does not lengthen you life or improve your health.
“I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears” (Psalm 34:4).

AGING…DO IT RIGHT
*************************************
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEND THIS BLOG TO A FRIEND GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS BLOG AND CLICK ON THE ENVELOPE.
************************************
There are over 500 stories and commentaries on this blog that began Nov 24, 2009. We'd hope and pray that as you file back through the days many of them will hold special inspiration and motivation for you.
**************************************
Did you ever stop to think that your getting older is a good deed? After all, you are checking out the territory for those who are younger.
Getting older? We all are…and it’s not all bad…actually, it’s a new land of new beginnings…of learning from old mistakes…the opportunity to fine tune our mistakes so we make less of them and not quite as badly as once we did.
The joy of grading out better in the constant exams of life might be another way of putting it.
Are we wiser…we are indeed…
What is my best advice…well, it may not be my best but it is close…
Ask the question who will attend your funeral? Those who have been your closest friends…and who have you chosen…they reflect who you are…don’t they.
Would you be happier as you grow older?
Give your all to making all around you happier…
The happiest folk of any age are givers…and those who in old age still continue this blessed trait are happiest of all.
And if you have any old hates lying around…rid yourself of them…they are a cancer and you will be old and cantankerous…that is for sure…if you do nothing but harbor old angers and pout about imagined wrongs.
There is nothing as heavy as carrying a grudge.
Be happy wherever you are…if the only way you can be happy is to be in a certain place you already have begun to open the door for future unhappiness.
Reach up toward God as he reaches down to you…and then allow yourself to be led…of such is the peace that passeth understanding found.
I found it in some old notes. I don’t even remember who Robertson McQuilkin is or when I recorded his beautiful philosophy, but I must have liked it…and (in this my 82nd year) still do…"God planned the strength and beauty of youth to be physical. But the strength and beauty of age is spiritual. We gradually lose the strength and beauty that is temporary so we'll be sure to concentrate on the strength and beauty that is forever."
And then there are those classic words of Browning
Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to be,
The last of life, for which the first was made.
Our times are in His hand,
Who saith: "A whole I planned,
Youth shows but half; trust God; see all, nor be afraid."
"Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come."
Psalms 71:18

A quote below from ONE A DAY blog entitled WORRY
“Set aside a day 3 to 7 days from now to worry…then write the worry down…and when that day comes many of things you were worried about will have been solved or you will have learned how to live with it or them.”
