One of the appendices in Crossways International's In Heaven's Name, Why on Earth? is titled "Ten Deadly Delusions." If you do not have a copy of this publication, you can purchase one from us and work through those delusions with others; the answers to each delusion are included in that publication. Doing so will empower you to get your people beyond "popular opinion" to "divine revelation."
My wife, Chloris, and I send out a Christmas letter each year to about 230 partners and friends around the world. In our most recent letter, we included some intriguing one-liners that were sent to me by Vic Pabellon, my colleague in the Philippines:
- Give God what's right--not left.
- A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing.
- When praying, don't give God instructions; just report for duty.
- Don't wait for six strong men to bring you to church. Come now!
- Many people want to serve God, but only in an advisory capacity.
- It is easier to preach ten sermons than to live one.
- Peace starts with a smile.
- Many who sing,"Standing on the Promises" are content just to sit in the premises.
- If God is your co-pilot, swap seats.
- The best mathematical equation that I have ever seen: 1 cross + 3 nails = 4-given.
Give Jesus and me a lot of joy by sharing these insights and sayings with fellow-believers, family, and friends.
