What If ? { With The Wise Guys }

What If ? 

Ask The Wise Guys! 

Meet...Takashi and Phil. The wise guys. These guys know stuff. Why they ponder over every little thing that there is to ponder. They're like Binky and the Brain only smarter and less animated. But these guys get to the bottom of stuff and they don't mess around.. Lets look in on them now as they are reading letter's from their fan male. Pondering the answers to life and Considering the wisdom of the ages.

 Fan:  Dear Wise Guys, Boy sometimes life is tough. I feel like I am going through a slow churning meet grinder sprinkled with hot sauce. Any advise?

Wise Guys:  Dear Tough Life, We saw it written one time... "in life it does not matter how slow you go as long as you don't stop." Good luck with meet grinder!

       *********************************************************

Fan:  Dear Wise guys, I start my day early but I can't seem to get ahead. What should I do?

Wise Guys:  Dear Tough Luck, We see you must be living by adage that early bird gets worm. That is great saying, but only if you are bird. Better to sleep in than to get eaten. Plus you will feel better.

        **********************************************************

Fan:   Dear Wise Guys, I know that there are a lot of skeptics out there these days. Atheists, agnostics and vast numbers of other religions and gods. The world says, to think that there is only one way to find spiritual solace would be closed minded, self centered and down right intolerant. With the knowledge of all of these other religions and ways that seem to point to a god or an idea of a god, how can we know for certain which way is right? 

Wise Guys:   When looking for a god wait until he introduces himself then you will know which one is true God. All others dead and have bad smell.

*****************************************************************

Fan:   Have you ever asked the question, "What if the bible really is true?"

Wise Guys:   Dear Truth Seeker, Yes! ... here is what we find. If bible not true and you follow it, you will live honorable life. If bible true and you don't follow it, get advise from "Meet Grinder Fan."  You soon be in same hot sauce.

 

Thanks for your time. God bless you and above all else....LoveEachOther and trust in Jesus!

 

 

 

 

 

A Prayer....I Have A Problem

                     (pic shared from http://www.bvcoc.com.au/purpose-of-prayer)

 “FATHER, I HAVE a problem. 

It’s weighing heavy on me. It’s all I can think about, night and day. Before I bring it to you in prayer, I suppose I should pray for those who are less fortunate than me—those in this world who have hardly enough food for this day, and for those who don’t have a roof over their heads at night.

 I also pray for families who have lost loved ones in sudden death, for parents whose children have leukemia, for the many people who are dying of brain tumors, for the hundreds of thousands who are laid waste with other terrible cancers, for people whose bodies have been suddenly shattered in car wrecks, for those who are lying in hospitals with agonizing burns over their bodies, whose faces have been burned beyond recognition. 

I pray for people with emphysema, whose eyes fill with terror as they struggle for every breath merely to live, for those who are tormented beyond words by irrational fears, for the elderly who are wracked with the pains of aging, whose only ‘escape’ is death. 

“I pray for people who are watching their loved ones fade before their eyes through the grief of Alzheimer’s disease, for the many thousands who are suffering the agony of AIDS, for those who are in such despair that they are contemplating suicide, for people who are tormented by the demons of alcoholism and drug addiction. 

I pray for children who have been abandoned by their parents, for those who are sexually abused, for wives held in quiet despair, beaten and abused by cruel drunken husbands, for people whose minds have been destroyed by mental disorders, for those who have lost everything in floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, and earthquakes. 

I pray for the blind, who never see the faces of the ones they love or the beauty of a sunrise, for those whose bodies are deformed by painful arthritis, for the many whose lives will be taken from them today by murderers, for those wasting away on their deathbeds in hospitals.

“Most of all, I cry out for the millions who don’t know the forgiveness that is in Jesus Christ . . . for those who in a moment of time will be swept into hell by the cold hand of death, and find to their utter horror the unspeakable vengeance of eternal fire. They will be eternally damned to everlasting punishment. O God, I pray for them.

“ That's Strange. I can’t seem to remember what my problem was. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”

Thankful?  You bet I am!

Let's join hands and hearts together and pray this prayer as one today as we go and visit those who make us thankful. 

Happy Thanksgiving friends and family, God bless you all and above all else......... ..................   LoveEachOther and trust in Jesus!

 

Prayer  "I Have a Problem"--  (Author unknown)

The Adversary

My devotions today bring me to Mathew 5:25,  It reads, 

"Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison."

As I look at the commentary on this verse the theologians state that Jesus was speaking about them who are at odds with each other. An adversary or opponent at the law which disagrees with you and that it is better to be reconciled to him. 

They go on to say that Jesus urges that it is better to go out of our way to avoid legal conflicts before human judges. They also go on to say that the payment of debt and the prison referred to here simply mean the normal legal process that one would encounter in a civil suit.

Some sound advice for certain, but what if there is more meaning to it than that? I mean doesn't it seem that there is also a spiritual application here. Lets look at it in that light for a moment.

First we must break it down bit by bit, " Agree with your adversary  quickly"  I think that this first part is what throws us off and makes us think that it must apply solely to literal translation, as in the human courts. Because after all wouldn't the adversary in the spiritual essence mean the devil? And if it is, then there is no way that the Lord would tell us to agree with our adversary (the devil) quickly! Right? But that is to only assume that we are righteous, and if we are righteous than our enemy, clearly,  is the devil. But the Lord also tells us that non are righteous, no, not one! 

So, what then? 

If we are then on the side of the unrighteous, while still in our sins, who does that make our adversary, our opponent, our enemy?  It is the Lord! Then and only then does this verse make total sense, and the warning that the Lord is giving is really to all who are against Him, and His advise is to agree with Him quickly, while we still live and are in the way with Him and still have a chance before it is too late. Then, if not, after death we will be delivered up to the judge who is God and then be given to the officers, the angels, and then cast into prison or Hell. 

Oh Yes, that is the true meaning and it fits well for the day! We have the opportunity to come to the Father, even now, and confess our sins to Him and to agree with our adversary the Lord, who stands against sin and the works of the devil for it was this reason that He came into the world, to destroy the work of the enemies of God and in Him do we have hope, if we will only come to Him and ask Him to be the Lord of our life and then we may truly live and above all else LoveEachOther and trust in Jesus!

Do It Quickly! Won't you? 

Before it's too late!

I know you say that I am not against Him, I believe in Him. Let me ask you this then; Does the evidence in your life support that? Are you a reflection of the spirit of love, or the spirit of rebellion?

Jesus says that these are them who believe in me. Those who here my word and do it. 

Be yee holy for He is holy and let all who name the name of Jesus turn from sin, for unless you repent you will perish, says the Lord!

May God bless you and keep you and may your name be written in the book of life, the book of the family of God, and may you be known as the friend of God.
