A TRUE DISCIPLE OF CHRIST

Richard Wurmbrand, now with the Lord, was in prison in Romania during the Communist era following WWII, and he was sharing the faith with another prisoner who had been severely disappointed by the conduct of a priest in a prison where he was previously incarcerated.
Wurmbrand’s response to him was that “not every man in holy order has a priestly heart, nor were all who called themselves “Christians” really disciples of Christ, in the true sense of the word. A man who visits a barber to be shaved, or a man who orders a suit from a tailor, is not a disciple, but a customer. So, also, one who comes to the Savior only to be saved is the Savior’s customer, not His disciple.

A disciple is one who says to Christ, ‘How I long to do work like Yours! ~ To go from place to place taking away fear; bringing instead joy, truth, comfort, and life eternal’”

Some people reach the top of the ladder of success only to find it is leaning against the wrong wall!

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness,
and all these things will be added unto you.”
~ Matthew 6:33

YOU WERE GIVEN A NICKNAME DESCRIPTIVE OF YOUR CHARACTER, WOULD YOU BE PROUD OF IT? “A good name is rather to be chosen than riches.” ~ Proverbs 22:1

CHILDREN’S LOGIC "Give me a sentence about a public servant," said a teacher. The small boy wrote: "The fireman came down the ladder pregnant." The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. "Don't you know what pregnant means?" she asked. "Sure," said the young boy confidently. "It means carrying a child." ####### A nursery school teacher was delivering a station wagon full of kids home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog's duties. "They use him to keep crowds back," said one child. "No," said another, "he's just for good luck." A third child brought the argument to a close. "They use the dogs," she said firmly, "to find the fire hydrants!” = = * * * = = * * * = = PRIORITIES: Some people reach the top of the ladder of success only to find it is leaning against the wrong wall!

I was walking down the street when I was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked me for a couple of dollars for dinner. I took out my wallet, got out ten dollars and asked, "If I give you this money, will you buy wine with it instead of dinner?" "No, I had to stop drinking years ago", the homeless woman told me. "Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?" I asked. "No, I don't waste time shopping," the homeless woman said. "I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive." "Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food?" I asked. "Are you NUTS?" replied the homeless woman. "I haven't had my hair done in 20 years!" "Well," I said, "I'm not going to give you the money. Instead, I'm going to take you out for dinner with my husband and me tonight." The homeless Woman was shocked. "Won't your husband be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting." I said, "That's okay. It's important for him to see what a woman looks like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments, and wine." &&&&&&&&& Hmmm?
