A note concerning
"Living Water" from
TEXAS:
"I
frequently use your articles in the bulletin I put together
and which is also sent to several prisoners.
One of the recipients, who reads it faithfully, has
decided to be baptized. I just wanted you to know this
because most of us never know that we had any part in
causing someone to obey the Gospel”

--HONKING HORNS--
"But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom,
neither the churches of God"
(1Cor.11:16)
A
woman was having difficulty getting her car started after it
stalled in traffic. The gentleman (?) in the car behind her
insisted on expressing his impatience by blowing his horn
every few seconds. Finally, worn out by his thoughtlessness,
she walked back to his car and said, "I'm having some
difficulty getting my car started. If you'll go and see if
you can start it, I'll honk your horn for you!"
Some
do more honking than helping in the church! There are more
talkers than workers, and more criticizers than laborers.
Those who do the most honking generally do the least
working. They may never have preached a sermon, taught a
class, led a song, or served as an elder or deacon: but they
do know how it should be done.
Such chronic objectors make suggestions on projects
being discussed in business meetings. They say, "You go
ahead and make the plans, and I'll tell you what's wrong
with them!" It
is much easier to criticize than to do the work.
Of
course, anyone who drives much is going to be honked at now
than then. Don’t lose your temper. Maybe you need waking
up. And, before you honk the horn, make sure you've tried to
get the engine started.
"And let
us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good
works"
(Heb. 10:24)
