Something To Think About...
A boss was complaining in his staff meeting that he wasn’t getting any respect. Later that morning he went to a local sign shop and bought a small sign that read, “I’m the Boss”. He then taped it to his office door.
Later that day, when he returned from lunch, he found that someone had taped a note to the sign that said, “Your wife called, she wants her sign back!”
Everyone likes to be the boss, to be in control, to be respected. That’s the natural attitude of the world around us. But Jesus calls us to an attitude that is not very natural:
“You know that the rulers of the non-Jewish people love to show their power over the people...it should not be that way among you. Whoever wants to become great among you must serve the rest of you like a servant. Whoever wants to become first among you must serve the rest of you like a slave. ...the Son of Man did not come to be served. He came to serve others...” (Matt. 20:25-28)
Concerned that everyone be aware that you’re the boss? Be more concerned about what you can do to serve others.

Something To Think About...
A lady had been married for many years when suddenly her husband died. This is what she put on his tombstone:
THE LIGHT OF MY LIFE HAS GONE OUT.
Not long afterward she met, fell in love with and married another man. After thinking at some length about it, she went to the monument maker and had him add this to the tombstone:
THE LIGHT OF MY LIFE HAS GONE OUT.
P.S. I Found A Match.
Reminds me of what happened to the church at Ephesus. There was a lot of activity in that congregation. They were commended for their perseverance, their refusal to tolerate false doctrine, and their labor for the cause of Christ. But there was something missing. The “light of their life” had gone out. They lost the first love they had for Christ, and it had reached the point that they were doing lots of “religious works” without love as a motivator.
“Nevertheless I have this against you, that you left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works…” (Revelation 2:4-5a).
Perhaps you’ve found yourself in a similar situation. You’re doing all the “right” things, but that love you once had for Christ just isn’t there anymore. Perhaps you need to find a match and rekindle the flame. It’s important to that before the light truly goes out in our lives:
“...or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place.” (Rev. 2:5b)
May you find again your “first love”!

Something To Think About...
A little boy asked his father what was the highest number he had ever counted. Replying that he did not know, the father asked his son his highest number. It was 973.
“Why did you stop there?” wondered the father.
“Because church was over.”
I suspect that you have probably sat through worship services where your mind was focused on something just as trivial rather than on God. It’s easy to let the mind wander. “I can’t wait to see the ballgame this afternoon.” “I wander what we are having for lunch.” “I’ve never noticed before that the carpet down there is starting to unravel a bit.” Is it any wonder that we so often leave the worship assembly with the feeling that it wasn’t very meaningful?
Worship should be a time when we are confronted with the majesty and glory of God. As we reflect on God’s power, we realize how much we need Him in our times of weakness. As we reflect on God’s wisdom, we realize how much we need Him in our times of indecision. As we reflect on God’s holiness, we are made aware of our own sinfulness and the need for forgiveness. As we reflect on God’s love, we realize the effort God has gone to to make that forgiveness available.
It’s not a ritual we go through every week. It is an opportunity to express our praise to the One who means more to us than all the earth. We leave with the challenge to “be holy as He is holy.” May we worship and praise God from the heart. (Ps. 96:4-9)
