Over the years, I have written things I heard from sermons, radio hosts, counselors, etc., which I wanted to remember as notes on cards. ... Yet I failed to write on the note-cards where I heard it. They were intended to be like flash cards to me to remind me of the things I need to be telling myself. So with much apology to the persons who actually said these things, I still think they are worth posting to be used like flash cards to restate them over and over.
The men and women I most admired at the time I was gleening these little messages for my own healing were:
Dr. Charles Stanley, Dr. Steve Brown, Minereth and Myer ministries, the men of the Billy Graham Ministries, Kaye Arthur, and June Hunt.
And some of these were from my own heart.
...
One of man's greatest fears ~
Is fear of failure.
...
Do whatever you can
In the face fear ~
Move toward the fear
...
Pity the man who falls who ~
Hath no friend to pick him up
...
The more you must be the best~
The easier it is to Fail.
Charles Stanley
...
Encumbrances = Sense of failures ~
Lay aside every encumbrance
...
When you can't think
of anything else to pray~
Just say "Thank you Lord
for not clobbering me.
I really deserve clobbering:)
...
Just be still~
Accept the acceptance &
Be still
...
If we don't forgive
Ourselves and others~
We are playing God
We haven't the right
To not forgive
...
We're not perfect ~ Just Precious
...
We're not holding on to Him ~
He's holding on to us
...
If God didn't intend to answer it~
He wouldn't have given
so many admonitions to pray
so many admonitions to pray
...
God is willing to trust me
with something painful~
with something painful~
I want Escape, God wants Beauty
...
A "should", "ought", "must" Christian
is not much good~
is not much good~
"Do" by Attitude, not by Law or Guilt response
Charles Stanley
...
On a dirty dress, a Christlike mother does something
about the dirt~
about the dirt~
but doesn't disown the child -
so the Father with our sin and soul
so the Father with our sin and soul
...
...
Father, this is what we're asking~
because Jesus would if in our position
...
Jump into the abyss from the edge & joy of joy~
the God of the universe will catch you
...
Understanding who God is~
Is the goal in Life
...
You cannot understand ~
What God does not reveal
...
Truth doesn't stop being truth~
because it doesn't fit circumstances
...
Some things we understand, some things we accept~
until we understand:
"Precept upon Precept"
...
Strong in Convictions~
Not necesarily in Emotions
...
If God answers
"You are totally off track,"
That's OK ~
We're not omniscient.
...
You have no right to manipulate me ~
I reject the false guilt you give.
...
Praise is Draino ~
for the soul.
...
One role of the church is
to teach women ~
where their gifts lie,
not where their place is.
...
Everything cannot be put first ~
Prioritize.
...
Junk food devotions =
Quickie Bible study habits.
...
Beware of fundamental falacies ~
especially when well meaning people
try to put "Church" 1st
in your priorities.
...

Commitment
begins with a funeral ~
die to self.
...
It is honorable to desire
to be the best and be successful ~
Satan's lie and snare is
when we allow acheivements
TO TAKE MOST OUR TIME.
...
It's easy to be a complainer ~
but remember,
the complainer is always
SCARED.
...
Don't put magnets on your words ~
I'm not made of metal
& don't dump your trash on me ~
I'm not a trash can.
...
Don't sling your arrows to hurt my heart ~
It makes you kin to Satan.
...
Tell yourself the truth ~
Let God be the author of that truth.
...
The body is only a tower ~
to carry the brain around.
Exercise the brain.
...
We must not provide
one another with lists of problems ~
without lists of solutions.
Especially, to our children and spouses.
...
An ant can eat down a tree ~
ants attack the biggest problem taking smaller bites.
