CONVERSION, NEED OF FOLLOW UPImportance of Follow-UpDate: 12/2005.101 Dawson Trotman - Founder of Navigators "Remember, making the decision is 5%; 95% is following through. God is not glorified by a raised hand unless the decision is confirmed by a Christian life that follows it." COOPERATIONCooperationDate: 3/1998.1147 When Anwar Sadat of Egypt was assassinated, a temporary burial place was provided beside Egypt's Unknown Soldier. How interesting that Egypt's best-known soldier should be buried beside Egypt's Unknown Soldier! In the kingdom of God there are many unknown soldiers. They march right beside the well-known soldiers. They do their part. What they do is important. Without their work the famous would not be famous. Without them nothing would be accomplished. -- Robert C. Shannon, 1000 Windows, (Cincinnati, Ohio: Standard Publishing Company, 1997). See: Romans 12:4-8; 1 Corinthians 12:12; 1 Peter 4:10-11
COOPERATIONCooperationDate: 3/1998.1148 Rivers gain more attention than the little streams that create them. You can name the great rivers of the world but you cannot name their tributaries. However, without the tributaries there would be no river. It must be remembered, too, that the smaller streams, while less well known, are purer and are found on a higher elevation. Some of our lives are tributary lives. It is our role to provide the pure water from the higher elevation that enables another to be a mighty river of power and influence. -- Robert C. Shannon, 1000 Windows, (Cincinnati, Ohio: Standard Publishing Company, 1997). See: Romans 12:4-8; 1 Corinthians 12:12; 1 Peter 4:10-11
Date: 12/2008.101 AMG Book 4 #307 To refrain from gossip when others about you delight in it. To stand up for the absent person who is being abused. To live honestly within your means and not dishonestly on the means of others. To be a real man, true woman by holding fast to your ideals when it causes you to be looked upon as strange & peculiar. To refuse to do a thing which is wrong though others do it. To live according to your own convictions. To dress according to your income and to deny yourself what you cannot afford to buy These take courage. COURAGE TelemachusDate: 11/2007.101 Illustrations for Preaching & Teaching From Leadership Journal: Ed. Craig Brian Larson #37 Charles Colson in Loving God, tells the story of Telemachus, a fourth century Christian. He lived in a remote village tending his garden and spending much time in prayer. One day he thought he heard the voice of God telling him to go to Rome, so he obeyed, setting out on foot. Weary weeks later, he arrived in the city at the time of a great festival. The little monk followed the crowd surging down the streets into the Coliseum. he saw the gladiators stand before the emperor and say, "We who are going to fight to death salute you." Then he realized these men were going to fight to the death for the entertainment of the crowd. He cried out, "In the name of Christ stop!" As the games began, he pushed his way through the crowd, climbed over the wall and dropped to the floor of the arena. When the crowd saw this tiny figure rushing to the gladiators and saying, "In the name of Christ, stop!" they thought it was part of the show and began to laugh. When they realized it wasn't, the laughter turned to anger. As he was pleading with the gladiators to stop, one of them plunged a sword into his body. he fell to the sand. As he was dying, his last words were, "in the name of Christ, stop!" Then a strange thing happened. The gladiators stood looking at the tiny figure lying there. A hush fell over the Coliseum. Way up in the upper rows, a man stood and made his way to the exit. Other began to follow. In dead silence, everyone left the Coliseum. The year was 391 BC and that was the last battle to the death between gladiators in the Roman Coliseum. Never again in the great stadium did men kill each other for the entertainment of the crowd all because of one tiny voice that could hardly be heard above the tumult. One voice - one life- that spoke the truth in God's name. COURAGE, EXAMPLES OF300 The OriginalDate: 8/2008.101 17 Aug 2008 DCFC English - Heb 11:32-34/ Jud 6-7 - Gideon, 300 the Original Used for Gideon & his 300. The movie 300 is about the Battle of Thermopylae which occurred in 480 BC. It tells of the bravery of 300 Spartan soldiers led by their king Leonides, who stood against the might of the Persian empire. Despite being killed by the Persian army, their act inspired the rest of the Greeks to unite and fight the Persians as they tried to cross over into Europe from the Mediterranean in the Battle of Plataea, ending the Greco-Persian war. About 150 years later, the united Greeks under Alexander the Great, cross over from Europe to the Mediterranean and defeated the Persians at the Granicus River & eventually took over as the world's superpower. Leonides & his 300 men thus became a symbol of Greek courage. I want you to take a look at this segment of the movie, when Leonides had been betrayed and was surrounded by the Persian army. Look at what he said while facing a certain death Wow! That is courage isn't it? But do you know that they are not the original 300. About 500 years before Leonides, there was another 300. But these 300 were not elite warriors with 6 pack. They were not led by a courageous hero like Leonides, in fact their leader was a coward. But the difference was that they won their battle! They won because they had God on their side. This is the story of Gideon & his 300.
