He Said What?
June 22nd, 2008 | by Ed |It’s time for another installment of “Pastor Ed’s Sayings.”
Every good teacher seeks to impart a body of truth and knows that the key to learning is repetition. Good teachers know that repetition is the key to learning. Repetition is the key to learning (OK, point made).
If you say something enough times, it will eventually stick. If you can sum up key teachings in short, pithy sayings, they have an even greater chance of sticking. And they act like zip files that hold a wealth of insight.
So here are some of my favorite zip files…
* WARNING: The Surgeon General has determined that relationships may be hazardous to your health.
* Prayer reminds us of a higher power and points us to a greater purpose.
* The greatest obstacle to faith is our tendency to rely on our own understanding, abilities and resources.
* The heart of every problem is the problem of the heart.
* God loves you unselfishly (without ulterior motives), unreservedly (without reservation), and unconditionally (without strings).
* The blood of Christ has once-for-all, fully, finally, and forever forgiven our sins.
* When you became part of the New Creation, you became part of the New Community.
* There are no great people, just ordinary people committed to great causes.
* The grass isn’t greener on the other side of the fence, it’s greener where you water it.
* God uses the unlikely to accomplish the unthinkable in ways that are unpredictable.
