WORDS OF WISDOM
The words of wisdom this episode come from the book of Romans Chapter 12
3 Because of the privilege and authority[c] God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us.[d] 4 Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, 5 so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.
6 In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. 7 If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. 8 If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.
9 Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them.
I talk about the new weekly newsletter that Amy and I putting out. Would you sign up for it?
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Using and Abusing.
We talk about the difference between believing, and believing.
Sometimes we can learn relationship styles from the folks we hang around.
I can stoop to low levels to get what I want, but it doesn’t help the people around me.
We should treat people with respect and love.
People shouldn’t be used or abused.
Sometimes good people are taken advantage of because of their loyalty and need to be needed.
Our self image should come from God, not comparing ourselves to each other.
We shouldn’t just tolerate people, we should celebrate them.
Narcissist means selfish. Like the Wraith from Stargate Atlantis.
They fed on the energy and the life of others to survive. Much like people who use and abuse us.
Some people never grow up emotionally and tend to treat others badly.
Hurt people, hurt people.
When we treat people like objects we are violating them. It is so important to treat people with respect, without getting walked on.
Remember the bully on the playground?
Many times they don’t grow up either.
Here is a good website on bullies and how they grow up into the world we live in.
1. God gave us a free will, he won’t make us be nice, we have to choose that.
2. We were never intended for abuse. God created us to be used by Him, not others.
3. God can give us strength if we ask Him for it.
Let’s not use and abuse people. Give some folks some grace. Are there people in my life that are abusing me? Perhaps I should change some of my friends.
Show me your friends and I’ll tell you what you think about yourself.
Here is a song I wrote called “Everything but you”
Here are the lyrics:
Everything but you
by Rick Moyer
Hurting deep inside of me
the loneliness it screams
another time and place of night
disillusioned of my dreams
Here I am again it’s down to just us two
stripped of all that is familiar
I’ve lost everything but you
Everything but you
What could have been is not
The story didn’t play
When mans intervention ruins
the form made from the clay
Here I am again it’s down to just us two
stripped of all that is familiar
I’ve lost everything but you
Everything but you
I guess it’s not the worst it could be
my choice it makes my place
I either go down in bitterness
or embrace your loving grace
Here I am again it’s down to just us two
stripped of all that is familiar
I’ve lost everything but you
Everything but you
Father please forgive them
for they know not what they do
tearing up inside of me
makes me open up to you
Here I am again it’s down to just us two
stripped of all that is familiar
I’ve lost everything but you
Everything but you
You, You, You
Everything but you.
