God can! I can't! I decide to let Him! My Hope: 1) God is good; 2) I'm lost in trouble; 3) Jesus came to save me; 4) I can accept Him now. What most people need is a good listening to. Stop, Look, and Listen--It saves lives. My four chosen beliefs: 1) God is good. 2) Jesus came, died, and lives again. 3) The Bible is worth reading. 4) The seventh day is the Sabbath and important. Two rules for better communication: 1) Listen more; and 2) Say "I." Unscramble "Listen" to find "Silent." Quick steps to Bible reading: Pray, Read, Reflect, Tell. Jesus is: The Way out of trouble, The Truth instead of lies, The Life instead of despair. "Man dwells apart, though not alone, He walks among his peers unread; The best of thoughts which he hath known For lack of listeners are not said."~Jean Ingelow "The poet doesn't invent. He listens."~Jean Cocteau "One of the best ways to persuade others is by listening to them."~Dean Rusk One day at a time. Think. Engage the mind. Keep coming back. "Silence is one of the hardest things to refute."~Josh Billings "Never pass up a chance to keep your mouth shut."~Anonymous "Remember that in giving any reason at all for refusing, you lay some foundation for a future request."~Arthur Helps "That man's silence is wonderful to listen to."~Thomas Hardy “It is impossible to govern the world without God and the Bible.”~George Washington “The Bible is worth all the other books which have ever been printed.”~Patrick Henry “I have made it a practice every year for several years to read through the Bible.”~John Adams “If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper; but if we and our posterity neglect its instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury our glory in profound obscurity.”~Daniel Webster “The Bible is a book in comparison with which all others in my eyes are of minor importance; and which in all my perplexities and distresses has never failed to give me light and strength.”~Robert E. Lee “In regard to this great book, I have but to say, it is the best gift God has given to man. All the good Savior gave to the world was communicated through this book. But for it we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man’s welfare, here and hereafter, are to be found portrayed in it.”~Abraham Lincoln “It is impossible to enslave mentally or socially a Bible-reading people. The principles of the Bible are the groundwork of human freedom.”~Horace Greeley “Hold fast to the Bible as the sheet-anchor of your liberties; write its precepts in your hearts and practice them in your lives. To the influence of this book we are indebted for all the progress made in true civilization, and to this we must look as our guide in the future.”~Ulysses S. Grant |
