I’m not completely worthless, I can always serve as a bad example.

“Encourage anyone who feels left out, help all who are weak, and be patient with everyone.” 1 Thessalonians 5:14 (CEV)

Today’s verse tells us, it’s important to look for someone who most other people wouldn’t encourage. A lot of people like to encourage or help powerful people because it might give them a leg up on something.

I have been to a lot of places, but I’ve never been in Cahoots. Apparently you can’t go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone.

I’ve also never been in Cognito, either. I hear no one recognizes you there.

I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump.

I have, however, been in Sane. They don’t have an airport; you have to be driven there. I have made several trips, thanks to my friends and family.

The right note, played at the wrong time, is a wrong note.

God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.  I Corinthians 1:9 ESV

“When discouragement sets in and you feel unheard – when you are forced to wait on God – when you find yourself caught between faith and a hard place – when there is nothing there… no evidence of God’s miracle on the horizon – remember that God is faithful, powerful, and responsive. He has seen you through trials in the past and He will see you through trials in the future. Even in the challenges you face now, you are seen, you are heard, and He is able.” – Gwen Smith 

Joey walked into his dad’s study while his dad was working on the computer.

“Dad,” said Joey, “Remember when you told me you’d give me twenty dollars if I passed my math test?” Dad nodded.

“Well,” said Joey, “The good news is that I just saved you twenty bucks.”

Thought for the day
“If my life is motivated by my ambition to leave a legacy, what I’ll probably leave as a legacy is ambition. But if my life is motivated by the power of the Spirit in my life; if I live in the awareness of the indwelling Christ; if I allow His presence to guide my actions, to guide my motives…that’s the only time I think that we really leave a great legacy. That which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit.” – Rich Mullins, the “Awesome God” guy 

Reverend Smith, a respected church leader, arrived in a large city to deliver a series of speeches.

At a banquet the first evening, he noticed some reporters in the audience. Because he wanted to use some of the stories he told that night in his speeches the next day, he asked the reporters to omit them from their articles.

One article that came out the next day, written by a cub reporter, concluded with this line: “Reverend Smith also told a number of stories that cannot be printed.”

“Doctor, Doctor! My husband makes me boiling mad!”

“Now, just simmer down.”

Colossians 3:12 says, “[A]s God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience” (NIV). 

Because we know how much God loves us, we can demonstrate compassion, kindness, humility and patience with others. And that’s exactly what the church has been called to do. It’s the place for the broken, the place for those whose lives don’t work out as they should. 

“Razor Request”

Ronnie goes down to the barber shop. He gets his hair cut and then he is getting a shave. After being nicked by the barber several times Ronnie says, “Hey buddy, have you got an extra razor?”

The barber replies “Well yes sir I do, would you prefer shaving yourself?”

Ronnie said, “Well not exactly but I thought I could defend myself.”

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:1–2 (NIV)

No matter what you’ve ever done, there is no condemnation in Christ. He sits at the Father’s right hand, not as an accuser, but as an advocate willing to give his life for you.

Ruth and Esther meet for the first time in fifty years since high school.

Ruth begins to tell Esther about her children. “My son is a doctor and he’s got four kids. My daughter is a lawyer and she has three great kids. So tell me Esther, how about your kids?”

Esther replies, “Unfortunately, Morty and I don’t have any children and so we have no grandchildren either.” 

Ruth says, “No children? … and no grandkids? So tell me, Esther, what do you do for aggravation?”

“No, I’m not going to give up trying to become The Invisible Man: Have I made myself clear?”

“You search the Scriptures because you believe they give you eternal life. And the Scriptures point to me!” (John 5:39 NLT)

We’re not really studying the Bible until we do two things. First, write down what we’ve learned, and, second, talk it over with others. God will change your life when you do these two things.
