This morning I was going through some old journals trying to find something I had copied and had used at one time. I finally found it, but in the meantime I ran across something else I had written (circa 2011). Here is something for you and me to think about as we head into this new week:
Everyday I do something that either adds to or subtracts from another person.
Lie-Stealing truth
Plagiarizing- Stealing credit
Murder- Stealing life
Am I a giver or a taker? And adder or a subtractor?
Great concepts to ponder this week, Bill. Thank you!!!
Thanks martha. Makes you stop and think for sure.
That last one though… ouch!
Not to lessen the other two though.
Correct.
That’s a sermon in a sentence for sure!
Probably the shortest one I’ve ever preached. 🙂
Great thoughts Bill…
I think the concept can be applied even further
—
With each decision or indecision, I make a choice to follow my creator or to take a step away from Him.
I like that too Ryan!
Thanks Ryan. And that is a good step forward. Imagine if that shot through our brain every time we made a choice.
I hate plagiarism. I wish people would stop doing it.
Would it not be wonderful if everyone was original and there was no plagiarism?
You, may say I’m a dreamer.
But I’m not the only one.
I hope someday you will join us.
And the world will be as one.
No plagiarism.
Thanx Bill. Great post. God bless you.
I agree Victor. I think it is especially disgusting when pastors preach other preacher’s sermons as though they are their own.
Isn’t it wonderful when God shows us previous insights that are just as helpful in the moment! You’re definitely a giver, Bill. May we each concentrate on our math today to be adders instead of subtractors. 🙂
Thanks for your kind words Lisa. And I do love it when God opens my eyes to new stuff when I have read it over and over before.
