... the negative comments or spiteful deeds? What if we came to our church board meetings offering words of praise for a job well done, and offering help when it isn't? If we intend to live together by the dominion of Christ's love for all eternity, we'd best get used to it now! That's our job: to be a royal priest rather than a royal pain. You are the only access to divine love that some person might have. Let that message be one of grace and peace each and every day that you live, and deliver that message ...

... first and the last. There is no other. He is permanent. I often talk with parents before the baptism of their first offspring. They have tell-tale dark circles under their eyes caused by sleepless nights of feeding the child. I tell them to get used to it because the nights of uninterrupted sleep are gone forever. The child will soon awake with earaches, stuffy noses, and fevers. And the parent will rock, bathe, and Tylenol until dawn’s early light. Later the child will awaken with the crashes of thunder ...

... needs to step in and keep hope alive. According to extensive aeronautical research it is impossible for the bumblebee to fly. It is just built all wrong, with proportions in inappropriate places. According to aeronautical research and design the bumblebee ought to get used to walking. The problem is nobody told the bumblebee that. So it just keeps on spreading its wings and going from flower to flower, fulfilling its purpose on earth against impossible odds. You and I are called to be the people who keep ...

... breath that Matthew speaks of Jesus’ forthcoming ministry to Jewish Galileans. After Jesus’ resurrection the scope of his ministry through his disciples and followers will be explicitly broadened to “all nations” (28:19). Given that the church has had millennia to get used to the idea of Gentile inclusion, the power of this theological message might be lost to some extent in our own contexts. So we might offer the missional vision from the Old Testament of Israel’s call to be distinctive and holy ...
80. Joseph's Story
Matthew 1:18-25
Sermon
Erskine White
... Christmas carols written about them, but not me! I truly am the forgotten person in the story. My name is Joseph; I am the father of Jesus. Well, not exactly, I'm more like His stepfather, since Jesus wasn't conceived in the usual way, which took quite some getting used to on my part, not to mention Mary's! But more on that in a minute. First, let me tell you a bit about my family. Families were terribly important in my culture; I hope they still are in yours. My father's name was Jacob, who traced his ...

As far as he is concerned, Jesus is dead, and the others better get used to it! The Patron Saint of All Who Are the Last to Know. Because he feels left out of the initial excitement and cannot believe what his friends have told him, Thomas is known as the patron saint of all who are the last to know. He has been forever ...

... , so close as to be willing to wash one another’s feet, wash one another’s hands; be to each other as Christ was to his disciples. In taking care of my mother and my mother-in-law in their last years, it took a great while to get used to having to deal with them as their minds withered. Oh, yes, the habits of reading, or the persistent repetition of an observation or conversation over and over again had its challenges, and the loss of memories to share was sad. But the touch, the holding of the hand ...

... 3 already published and climbing up the charts. There is now even a "Magic Eye" column on the last page of the comics section. When you develop this depth perception, you begin to see meaning where there were only random dots before. Once you get used to this peripheral vision way of looking at life, highly focused three-dimensional images materialize out of abstract, seemingly chaotic fields of color and random lines. Once you "get it," a whole new world of experience opens to you. No matter what you think ...

... else. But sometimes we are not sure who somebody is. Today we have a story like that. Jesus had been killed on the cross and his friends, the disciples, knew that he was buried in a tomb. They were sad but after a couple days they were starting to get used to it. Then some of them had an amazing thing happen to them. They were sitting around in a room, talking to each other about what they were going to do now that Jesus was dead. And the next thing you know, Jesus came right into the room and started ...

I am used to praying when I am alone, thank God. But when I come together with other people, when I need more than ever to pray, I still cannot get used to it.

87. Dandelions

Editor James S. Hewett
A gardener took great pride in caring for his lawn. But one year it grew full of dandelions. He tried every method and product to get rid of them, but nothing worked. Exasperated, he wrote the Department of Agriculture explaining all he had done. "What shall I try next?" he wrote. "Try getting used to them," came the reply.

... is all about for Christians. The semester had already been long enough for Kim. Being a freshman had been tough for her. Adjusting her study habits, coming to terms with professors who didn’t know her name and didn’t care to learn it, and getting used to dorm life seemed to pale in comparison to her almost constant bouts with homesickness. At night she would cry herself to sleep, thinking about her bed at home and her parents. She even missed her little brother, who had been nothing but a pest to ...

My wife enjoyed the experience for the most part but couldn't get used to sleeping in a tent. She felt vulnerable and exposed. Actually, living in a tent is a metaphor for human existence. Paul tells us that if our tent is destroyed, God has prepared for his saints a new home, eternal in the heavens (v. 1). Through faith we take ...

Then he asked, "But what about the smell?" And she said, "Oh, he'll get used to you. I did." Then Dr. Lucado went on to say, "Before you comment on the odor of someone else, check your own odor first." That's what Jesus meant when He said, "Let the one who is without sin cast the first stone." Unity has to begin with us. And ...
Nobody needs a smile so much as the one who has none to give. So get used to smiling heart-warming smiles, and you will spread sunshine in a sometimes dreary world.

It is not an uncommon scene. A couple of young men found their way into the weight room at the local exercise facility. They were, perhaps, thirteen or fourteen years of age; just beginning to approach manhood; each day the sweetness of self-confidence grows within them. At first they lingered at the edge of the weight room admiring that small group that inhabits every work-out facility. These fellows are usually in their twenties or thirties. Their bodies have been sculpted by thousands of hours of ...

This morning I would like to talk with you about things that seem to run out at just the wrong time. Let me give you an example of what I mean. Let's say your mom or dad made a batch of your favorite cookies. You came home from school and had several for a snack. Then you took some for your lunch for several days in a row. ...
