“To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 44 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I’ve ever written. My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:”

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

“As many as I love, I rebuke.” Rev. 3:19

IF WE’RE WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE

  Addressing the end-time church, Jesus said.

“You say, ‘I am rich…and have need of nothing - and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked - I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore, repent.” (Rev 3:17-19 NKJV). 

  Those are strong words!  Why would Christ say that to us? Because:

 (1) Instead of believing God for New Testament results, we say God doesn’t do miracles any more.

(2) We’ve tolerated division in the name of denominational loyalty.

(3) We’ve taught that Christianity is mainly about avoiding things. As a result we’ve lost our joy, because intimacy with Christ cannot be achieved through performance.

(4) Many of our leaders have stopped modelling servant-hood and forgotten that Jesus washed feet and rode on a donkey.

5) Instead of using our financial blessing to reach the world for Christ and care for the poor, we’re acquiring and splurging on ourselves.

(6) We get upset when somebody uses contemporary methods to reach the younger generation. Instead of engaging the culture we’re hiding from it.

(7) Instead of “occupy till I come,” we’d rather fly away. We read rapture novels when we should be praying for those living on the verge of martyrdom.

Why can’t we have their kind of faith?  We can - if we’re willing to pay the price.

Just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want them to, doesn’t mean they don’t love you with all they have.  Ralph and 
Edna were both patients in a mental hospital.  One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Ralph suddenly 
jumped into the deep end.


He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.
Edna promptly jumped in to save him.  She swam to the bottom and pulled him out.  When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna’s heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.


When she went to tell Edna the news she said, ‘Edna, I have good news and bad news.  The good news is you’re being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love…  I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness.


The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him.  I am so sorry, but he’s dead.’


Edna replied, ‘He didn’t hang himself, I put him there to dry..   
How soon can I go home?’


Happy Mental Health Day!
