Weekly THIS AND THAT for August 16, 2009: Christian One-Liners

This and That:

Christian One-Liners

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 advisers.

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,

Middle of the road,

And back of the church.

Opportunity may knock once,

But temptation bangs on the front door forever.

Quit griping about your Church;

If it was perfect, you couldn’t belong.

If a Church wants a better pastor,

It only needs to pray for the one it has.

We’re called to be witnesses, not lawyers or judges.

God Himself doesn’t propose to judge a man until he is 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 singing “Standing on the Promises”

Are just sitting on the premises.

Be ye fishers of men. You catch ‘em

The Lord will clean 'em.

Stop, Drop, and Roll won’t work in Hell.

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,

He 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.

The best mathematical equation I have ever seen:

1 cross + 3 nails = 4 given.

Fondly,

Father Nicholas
