I love a great quote or saying. Here are some of my favorites that my Pastor often uses:
1. But without faith it is impossible to hang with God.
This one really needs no explanation, it speaks for itself, but here's the scripture:
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (Heb.11:6)
2. Don't pray about them, pray for them.
This is my personal favorite, an important lesson I've learned. Sometimes we do get caught praying for God to fix that person (spouse, boyfriend/girlfriend, parent, brother/sister, friend, co-worker, boss) instead of praying for that person. The one that may need the fixing is the one doing the praying. If you really care about that person your praying for then pray like you care for them.
3. I worship God with the lawnmower.
And my Pastor "REALLY DOES!!!" He's been teaching us alot about worshiping God wherever you are, whatever your doing. God is worthy of our praises continuously.
4. Stop being a spiritual sissy!
In other words: "Can't we all just get along!" Especially Christians. Stop getting offended by every little thing your neighbor does or whine about how they hurt your feelings. There are more important things in the world. We are to exemplify Jesus in all that we do.
You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself. (Lev.19:18)
5. You need to go to Menards and get yourself some wood, build a bridge, and get over it
This bears reference to the last scripture: holding a grudge on somebody else.
6. You need to have a Bugs Bunny type of faith.
Bugs Bunny had no fear when it came to his foes. He'd look straight down the barrel of that shot gun of Elmer Fudd's and simply say, "What's up, Doc?"
For God has not given us a Spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.(2Tim.1:7)
So now you can tell..I do pay attention in church!
