SOME TALK THE TALK, BUT MAY STUMBLE WALKING THE TALK
A man was being tailgated by a stressed-out woman on a busy boulevard.
Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right
Thing, stopping at the cross, walk, even though he could have beaten the red
Light by accelerating through the intersection.
The tailgating woman hit the roof, and the horn, screaming in frustration as
She missed her chance to get through the intersection with him. As she was
Still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face
Of a very serious police officer.
The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her to
The police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and
Placed in a cell.
After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the
Door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer
Was waiting with her personal effects.
He said"I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your
Car while you were blowing your horn, flipping the guy off in front of you,
and cussing a blue streak at him.
I noticed the 'What Would Jesus Do"Bumper sticker, the 'Follow Me to Sunday
School' bumper sticker and the
Chrome-plated fish emblem on the trunk. Naturally, I assumed you had stolen
the car."

Making dreams come true
+++++++++++++++++++
Dreams do indeed come true, but not on their own. Desires are
Most certainly fulfilled, but not just by wishing.
Dreams and desires provide the powerful energy necessary for
Achievement, and yet someone must focus and direct that
Energy. When it comes to your dreams, that is your job.
Go ahead, dream the biggest, most wonderful and personally
Meaningful dream you can imagine, and feel the intensity of
Your longing for it. Then, with your passion at full
Throttle, get busy making that dream a reality.
The joy of accomplishment is in the doing, and in feeling
The dynamic strength of your own capabilities. What you
Truly seek is not to have, but to do, to create, to
Experience the feeling of being purposefully effective.
If you could have anything just by wishing, what would be
The point, what would be the value? Fortunately, you have
The opportunity to create great value precisely because your
Every wish does not instantly materialize.
You have the opportunity to give life to any dream by giving
Your effort, attention, focus and commitment to it. And by
So doing, not only are you able to achieve the dream, you
Also give it real meaning.
~~Ralph Marston

The Drive Through Place
Hi, This is St. Peter's Place, may I help you?
Yes, I am in a big hurry, I have some place to go. I will take an instant
healing, and 3 blessings please.
The next customer comes through, saying: I need for my marriage to be healed
I don't have time to work on it, or pray, so could you just give me the
marriage blessing, and fix it please?
The next customer is equally unaware when saying: I need the blessing my
neighbor has, could you help me win the lottery? I am going on vacation next
week and could use the extra money.
People lining up with the greatest intentions, the least faith, and almost
no relationship with God, yet expecting instant gratification when they pray
Suddenly God is the "fix it" man. We do not have to do anything on our part
it is all His job.
While I was watching a famous newscaster tonight, He was talking about his
concept of God. A God who would forgive everyone, because He was merciful.
A God who never got angry, who never judged, but only loved people. A God
who never did a trial after we die, but fulfills nebulous needs while we are
alive. A God we don't need to have a dedicated or holy, righteous
relationship with. A God of convenience. A God of people's own making to
suit whatever lifestyle they choose to live.
This is not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
This is what the world is saying nowadays. Oh I will take the God that never
judges, so I can sleep with everyone in town, or smoke and drink or do drugs
but God will still love me. I will never have to confess or change,
because God is merciful.
A drive through God.
Where do people come up with this stuff?
My friends, this is why we have a Bible.
1. It tells us who God is.
2. It tells us what He expects from us.
3. It tells what happens to those who disobey.
4. It tells how to find salvation through Jesus Christ.
The Bible says Jesus is the truth, the life, and the way, there is no other
way to God, except through redemption in Jesus Christ.
This means we have to be proactive. We have to:
1. Recognize we are a sinner in need of salvation.
2. Recognize Jesus died for those sins, and to receive His salvation we must
take certain steps.
3. Confess our sins to God, every one we can remember, then we make a public
confession of that faith.
4. When we repent of our sins, it means we leave them behind, we walk away
from them, we get into the word, and live as Jesus taught.
We make a conscious effort to change, and ask God to help us change the
things we cannot, so we can be right before Him. Forgiven, renewed by the
blood of the Lamb of God.
There is no other way! We cannot pick and choose the parts of the Bible we
like or don't like or agree with or don't agree with. We cannot tell God who
to be, or what His laws and concepts should be.
It is like this. We must accept Him for who He is, we must live righteously
before Him, by accepting His son, and repenting of our sins, and then
walking right by reading His word, praying and living a holy life.
Anything else, is straying from the truth. You can make up all the thoughts
about God you want, the newscaster can justify his lifestyle by being in
denial about God, the person who has strong addictions will deny God to
justify his sin. The person steeped in sexual sin or perversion will try to
justify a kind, all loving God, to leave out any part of the scripture that
might convict them of sins.
Sin is a reality. God is not only a merciful God, but a God of judgment.
The drive through thing won't work. If you want a relationship with God,
there is one way. The right way, through Jesus Christ. Any other way leads
to eternal death.
Now that you have been told, there is no excuse. Pass this to others, so
they may know that there is no excuse that will stand before God's all
knowing judgment and wisdom. He sees all, knows all, knows every where you
have been, every thought you have had, every deed you have done. Everything
that is done in darkness will be bought into light.
Where you will stand in that light?
There is only one way.
You either choose life or death by your decisions.
