Bulletin for April<\/p>\n
It is no secret that I\u2019m not exactly a lover of Twitter. Generally speaking, not a lot that is worthwhile can be said in less than 140 characters. Of course there are exceptions. The individual proverbs say a tremendous amount in small scope \u2013 although they cannot be taken in isolation if we are to use them correctly. And then there are many maxims and one liner\u2019s which are thought provoking, challenging, and funny. For this week\u2019s bulletin I have included ten \u201ctwittings\u201d ancient and modern to stir up the grey matter.<\/p>\n
1. The virtue of a man ought to be measured, not by his extraordinary assertions, but by his everyday conduct \u2013 Blaise Pascal<\/p>\n
2. Beware of no man more than of yourself; we carry our worst enemies within us \u2013 C.S. Spurgeon<\/p>\n
3. The grace and goodness and glory of God turns, “What must I do?” into, “What may I do?” \u2013 Jeremy Walker<\/p>\n
4. Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen \u2013 Winston Churchill<\/p>\n
5. To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing \u2013 Martin Luther<\/p>\n
6. I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else \u2013 C.S. Lewis<\/p>\n
7. I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots \u2013 Albert Einstein<\/p>\n
8. Before we can begin to see the cross as something done for us, we have to see it as something done by us \u2013 John Stott<\/p>\n
9.\u00a0In some awful, strange, paradoxical way, atheists tend to take religion more seriously than the practitioners. — Jonathon Miller<\/p>\n
10. Just do the best you can, and, if possible, face death with a smile \u2013 William Kauffman<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
