Weekly THIS & THAT for 7/30/06: Christian One-Liners

This and That:
Christian One-Liners

Someday we may have a sign that we could advertise upcoming events, welcome newcomers, tell the title of the coming homily, or show one-liners as follows.

➢ Don’t let your worries get the best of you; remember, Moses started out as a basket case.

➢ Some people are kind, polite, and sweet-spirited until you try to sit in their pews.

➢ Many folks want to serve God, but only as advisors.

➢ It is easier to preach ten sermons than it is to live one.

➢ The good Lord didn’t create anything without a purpose, but mosquitoes come close.

➢ When you get to your wit’s end, you’ll find God lives there.

➢ People are funny; they want the front of the bus, the middle of the road, and the back of the church.

➢ Opportunity may knock once, but temptation bangs on your front door forever.

➢ Quit griping about your church; if it was perfect, you couldn’t belong.

➢ If the church wants a better pastor, it only needs to pray for the one it has.

➢ God Himself does not propose to judge a man or a woman until they are dead. So why should you?

➢ Some minds are like concrete thoroughly mixed up and permanently set.

➢ Peace starts with a smile.

➢ I don’t know why some people change churches; what difference does it make which one you stay home from!

➢ A lot of church members who are singing “Standing on the Promises” are just sitting on the premises.

➢ We were called to be witnesses, not lawyers or judges.

➢ Be you fishers of men and women. You catch them; the Lord will clean them.

➢ Coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous.

➢ Don’t put a question mark where God put a period.

➢ Don’t wait for 6 strong men to take you to church.

➢ Forbidden fruits create many jams.

➢ God doesn’t call the qualified; God qualifies the called.

➢ God grades on the cross, not the curve.

➢ God loves everyone, but probably prefers “fruits of the spirit” over “religious nuts!”

➢ God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage.

➢ He who angers you, controls you!

➢ If God is your Co-pilot - swap seats!

➢ Prayer: Don’t give God instructions -- just report for duty!

➢ The task ahead of us is never as great as the power behind us.

➢ The will of God never takes you to where the grace of God will not protect you.

➢ We don’t change the message; the message changes us.

➢ You can tell how big a person is by what it takes to discourage him or her.

➢ The best mathematical equation I have ever seen: 1 cross + 3 nails= 4 given.
