rick's tweets iv

Another batch of Pastor Rick's "tweets of wits" to share with you: 

My dad's old cliche for saving money: "Use it up; wear it out; make it do, or do without!"

John Stott's joke on why he never married: "I'd rather want what I don't have, than have what I don't want!"

No one can control your emotions without your permission. Who are you allowing to ruin your day?

Some things must be believed BEFORE you can see them. Ask any architect, artist, entrepreneur, or athlete.

To discover the will of God you don’t know, do the will of God you do know.

If you always feel comfortable reading God's Word, you're either not reading ALL of it, or you aren't letting it sink in.

Just as night conceals earth but reveals the universe, your dark times can reveal truths about God you wouldn't see otherwise.

Heresy is often the over-emphasis of a single truth while ignoring other truths.

As I baptized his parents, a child asked me "When can I get 'advertised' for Jesus?" That's baptism!

You don't have to be a giant to slay one. You just need to shoot straight. Remember David.

Use your head in managing yourself. Use your heart in managing others.

Celebrities, like poor photographs, are usually overexposed and underdeveloped.

If you think God is your co-pilot, you're in the wrong seat.

Being busy proves nothing. It's WHY you're busy that reveals the real you.

More will join a political protest than be a witness since it's far easier to demonstrate FOR Jesus than demonstrate Jesus.

To develop friendships, stop trying to be interesting & just be interested in others.

We are products of our past, but we don't have to be prisoners of it.

You can't fall when you're on your knees.

Blaming God for evil is like blaming the sun for darkness.

To be truly Christian, you must begin with Jesus, not anyone else. Jesus interprets Paul & all theologians, not vice-versa!

My goal has never been to save the world but to make sure everyone in the world knows there is a Savior.
