Knoxville Convention Gems from Saturday

Listed below are the gems I have gleaned from my Saturday notes from our Knoxville church convention:
  • It's the daily faithfulness that God appreciates. We may want to do something grand and glorious, but a constant daily service is what means something to God.
  • Cast you care upon God, means talking to God about it, not just throwing your cares to the wind and hoping things will work out okay.
  • It would be so sad just to suppose that Jesus was with us, and find out too late that He was not.
  • Reading about faith helps us to be faithful (Enoch, Mary the mother of Jesus, Abraham, the centurion, Caleb & Joshua, ...)
  • The good ground of itself can never bring forth good fruit.
  • God directs the workers to the right place, at the right time, with the right message.
  • There's a lot we don't understand, but we believe it!
  • The devil knows how important faith is to us, and he wants to shake our faith.
  • The Lord kept David wherever he went. We're thankful that God can preserve us whither soever we go.
  • A wish: "I wish I could think of Jesus as much as I think of myself."
  • Be available every day for the Lord to speak to us.
  • God delights in Jesus. We should delight in Jesus. If not, something is wrong.
  • How do you see Jesus? Is His story a fairy tale to you? John saw Jesus as we all must see Jesus. "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." (Jesus would have done it for me alone.)

Joke of the Day
A dietitian was once addressing a large audience in Chicago. "The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting here, years ago.

"Red meat is awful. Soft drinks erode your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. Vegetables can be disastrous, and none of us realizes the long-term harm caused by the germs in our drinking water.

"But there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all and we all have, or will, eat it. Can anyone here tell me what food it is that causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?"

A 75-year-old man in the front row stood up and said, "Wedding cake."
