You’re Probably Right

In this episode, I read a teaching by Pastor John MacArthur. one that has made a huge impact on me.

The Lowly Walk. http://www.gty.org/library/sermons-library/1923

Some people will say to me, “You know, that’s really wonderful, and appreciate that message. It’s so ministered to me.”

And as soon as they walk by, another person will come up and say, “Did you feel poorly today?” “You didn’t seem like you were yourself. It just – something was missing.”

You know? You just really don’t know. And so, it kind of tends to cancel itself out. But it was interesting to me; the last couple of weeks I realized that I haven’t been going very fast. In fact, we’ve been in the first couple of verses here for weeks, and it’s amazing. But it’s interesting to see the response. Last week I intended to preach the message that I’ll go ahead and preach this morning, if I get done with this introduction.

But I didn’t. I just digressed, and I just kind of shared my heart. And I’ve done that now three or four times since I was away in Brazil, and even before that, God was doing some things in my own heart.

And it’s been interesting, because some people will write me. And I got a wonderful letter. I picked one up even in my little box this morning. It said, “Thank you so much for stopping in the midst of this to share the things that are on your heart and make it practical. God has really ministered to me.”

relationships and why you should jump into the deep end of your Christian Marriage and immerse yourself. stay out of the Shallow end is my advice. In a cold pool you are even colder in the shallow end, listen up you will understand.

Matthew 6:25-34New International Version

Do Not Worry

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]?

28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

1) Avoid large meetings

Large meetings waste valuable time

& energy

- They discourage debate

- People are more guarded than

open

- There's not enough time for

everyone to contribute

Don't schedule large meetings unless

you're certain they provide value to

everyone

2) Leave a meeting if you're not

contributing

If a meeting doesn't require your:

- Input

- Value

- Decisions

Your presence is useless.

It's not rude to leave a meeting.

But it's rude to waste people's time.

Forget the chain of command

Communicate with colleagues directly.

Not through supervisors or managers.

Fast communicators make fast decisions.

Fast decisions = competitive advantage.

4) Be clear, not clever

Avoid nonsense words and technical

jargon.

It slows down communication.

Choose words that are:

- Concise

- To the point

- Easy to understand

Don't sound smart. Be efficient.

5) Ditch frequent meetings

There's no better way to waste everyone's

time.

Use meetings to:

- Collaborate

- Attack issues head-on

- Solve urgent problems

But once you resolve the issue, frequent

meetings are no longer necessary.

You can resolve most issues without a

meeting

Instead of meetings:

- Send a text

- Send an email

- Communicate on a discord or slack

channel

Don

"† interrupt your team

's workflow if

it's unnecessary.

6) Use common sense

If a company rule doesn't:

- Make sense

- Contribute to progress

- Apply to your specific situation

Avoid following the rule with your eyes

closed.

Don't follow rules. Follow principles.

are you satisfied? 

Do you have enough or do you need a wittle bit mowa?

have you been made fun of because of your position in life for lack thereof?

Listen up

13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.

14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?

15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:

17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?

18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.

19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.

20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

life is nothing but a fleeting thing. it will be all over soon enough, so live well. How? 

Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord. If it real it’s that simple the red is in the “Holy Bible” find A Bible believing church that understands the inerrancy of Scripture not one that is based on Christian rock concerts falling down and getting more money getting more Blessings. You cannot add to your justification your justification is in Christ alone, through faith alone.

You better watch out

You better not cry

You better not pout

I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is comin' to town

Santa Claus is comin' to town

Santa Claus is comin' to town

He's making a list

He's checking it twice

He's gonna find out

Who's naughty or nice

Santa Claus is comin' to town

Santa Claus is comin' to town

Santa Claus is comin' to town

He sees you when you're sleeping

He knows when you're awake

He knows if you've been bad or good

So be good for goodness sake

So you better watch out

You better not cry

You better not pout

I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is comin' to town

Santa Claus is comin' to town

Santa Claus is comin' to town
