The Turtle
The Bible says this “Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” James 1:3,4
Wax cold
God is love. When Christ enters the hearts of men, that same stone cold heart begins to melt. We begin to see that the laws of God are not to constrain us, but to protect us.
Possum
At times, we have people that play possum. They play possum at work. They play possum at home. They play possum at church. What do I mean?
Armadillos
As I visit many hospitals, and many homes, I come in contact with people that before you can enter the room, you must wear surgical attire. After the visit, you need to remove the gown and wash your hands thoroughly, despite the fact that you had gloves on. Image how these precious souls must feel. They can’t touch you, they can’t embrace you, and they can’t kiss you on the cheek. They are like armadillos

God, City & Country
“The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them. The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. The infant will play near the cobra’s den, and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s nest. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.”Isaiah 11:6-9
Conscience and Beliefs
“The city of Houston has issued subpoenas demanding a group of pastors turn over any sermons dealing with homosexuality, gender identity to Annise Parker, the city’s first openly lesbian mayor. And those ministers who fail to comply could be held in contempt of court.” Todd’s American Dispatch October14, 2014
Little Things
“He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. “ Luke16:10 It’s the little things that can have an long lasting impact.
