Proverbs 2.0

During these lazy, crazy days of summer, yours truly is choosing to exercise his right to take a break himself (call it literary laziness).  But rather than leaving you with nothing to read, I am opting instead for a selection of random quotes from folks wiser and, in some cases, more humorous than I.  Included in this blog are just scattered thoughts and life observations which should remind us not to take ourselves too seriously, but always to be pursuing God-likeness.  I like to call lists like these:  Proverbs 2.0. 

Don't let your worries get the best of you; remember, Moses started out as a basket case.

Many folks want to serve God, but only as advisers.

The good Lord didn't create anything without a purpose, but mosquitoes come close.

Opportunity may knock once, but temptation bangs on your front door forever.

If the church wants a better pastor, it only needs to pray for the one it has.

A lot of church members who are singing "Standing on the Promises" are just sitting on the premises.

Be fishers of men. You catch them. He'll clean them.

Coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous.

Don't put a question mark where God put a period.

Don't wait for six strong men to take you to church.

Forbidden fruits create many jams.

God doesn't call the qualified. He qualifies the called.

If God is your copilot - swap seats!

A bird in the hand is safer than one overhead.

A ship in the harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.

He who never made a mistake, never made a discovery.

It is never too late to be what you might have been.

If you are willing to admit faults, you have one less fault to admit.

You cannot get to the top by sitting on your bottom.

Rather than asking God to bless what you’re doing, find out what God is doing, because it’s already blessed.


Love one another.  No, really.  Love one another.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            tad
