Christian One Liners

I had to pass this on in my blog! Given to me by my dear friend Aunt Jessie

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 will stay at 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 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 who are singing 'Standing on the Promises' are just sitting on the premises.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
We were called to be witnesses, not lawyers or judges.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Be ye fishers of men. You catch them - He'll 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, 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.

Need A Gift? Think Pearls


What better way to commemorate the special times in our lives than with the gift of pearls. Pearls have been honored and revered through out history and are possible the oldest symbol of wealth and prosperity. Dating back to the Roman Empire, pearls were said to be worth their weigh in gold. Unlike the gemstones mined from the earth, pearls are the only gemstone formed from live animals. Contrary to popular belief, pearls usually do not form as a result of sand trapped in the oysters shell. Most often a piece of food material becomes trapped within the tissue of the oyster. Secretions then encapsulate the foreign material and the pearl is formed.
Through out the ages pearls have been worn by nobility and the working class as well. During the 1700s and early 1800s seed pearls became popular and were strung on silk. The result was a piece so delicate and elegant that the pearl became known as a symbol of purity and gentility. In fact, an 1870 newspaper article stated that pearls were "exquisitely beautiful and constitute an appropriate and elegant present to a young bride."
Pearls have become family heirlooms as a result of their luster and beauty. Most of us are familiar with the saltwater or marine pearl but many are unfamiliar with the freshwater pearls. Freshwater pearls grow in mussels which live in lakes, rivers and streams. In fact, pearls can be cultivated and are produced in countries around the world.
Due to their versatility, pearls can be worn with just about any outfit from a formal gown to jeans. Pearls are commonly found strung in necklaces and bracelets, mounted in rings, pendants, pins and brooches. If the uniform elegance of the marine pearl is not your style, maybe the unique shape and color of the cultured freshwater pearl are more your style. Pearls can range from white to gold, or purple to black. Pearls also come in a wide variety of shapes. Ranging from round to the truly unique baroque there is a variety to meet every need, occasion and individuals taste.
Pearls are extremely durable but do need some basic care. First, if you wear your pearls regularly have them restrung at least once a year and request that they be knotted between each pearl. After each wearing lightly, wipe your pearls with a soft cloth. This will remove the oil from the pearls which can affect their luster. Also, keep your pearls away from chemicals such as hair spray, makeup or perfume. It’s also a good idea to store your pearls in a separate compartment of your jewelry box or in a soft bag to prevent chipping.
If you are looking for the perfect gift for the graduate, bride or special someone, pearls will be loved and adored for years to come. If you want to give a gift that can be passed on from generation to generation, pearls are the right choice. From the classic elegance of the pearly white strand of pearls to the unique stylish flair of colored Biwa pearls, you can’t go wrong with a gift of pearls.

A Company Rising

A Company Rising by Greg Austin
www.gregaustin.org

There is a breathing, living and moving Company of those who "have an ear" that is rising up - invisible to the institutions of Religion and unseen by the tradition-bound. It is World-wide, Simultaneous and Spirit-led. This Company has no formal name, wears no crown of importance, and moves through alley ways and byways instead of parading down broad avenues.

It is the Faithful Remnant, the Wise Virgins; the True Bride awaiting her Groom. It is the Faithful Steward, the Lone Leper returning with thanksgiving. It is the church of the Latter Rain, the Temple more glorious, the Church of the living God against whom the gates of hell cannot prevail. This Company travels on its face, feasts on His grace, moves at His bidding, speaks His voice, and carries the DNA of His Son.

It is invisible that He may be seen, silent that He may be heard. Its leadership derives from the True Head, its humility comes from knowing both Who He is and Who we are. Its strength comes from knowing both what we are and Whose we are.

This Company appears, not in neon lights or before television cameras, but in humble homes and in office buildings and in streets filled with desperate, dying men. Its appearance will only be as a Traffic Sign, pointing the way to the boulevard of mercy and the avenue of grace: Guiding lost souls along the highway of longsuffering and the freeways of goodness and truth.

If you "hear" and receive this message in your heart, you are part of that Company, glorious in His Righteous Robes, resplendent in the aura of His Glory, magnetic with the perfume of His presence.

Keep walking in the way He has ordered. Watch for Him to appear - where the institution least expects Him. Two thousand years ago they anticipated He would emerge from a Temple, and to appear as Royalty. They least expected Bethlehem, and a Stable and a Feeding Trough, yet this was the Place of His choosing, the Place His Presence was ordained to begin. So in the humility of a home - a place for family, a place of shelter and sustenance and laughter, will He once again appear, emerging to captivate the hearts of the multitudes in this hour of His choosing.

I encourage you, keep moving forward. The rising up of this Church will soon shake the world!
