You Don’t Have To You Get To!!!

I come from a discipleship program whose motto is “Trained To Serve Jesus 24/7″! We’ve lived by the credo, “You don’t have to – You get to!!!” for many years! So when I heard “Pas” (my loving expression of respect as taught by this discipleship group and which I’ve taught many others to use for Pastor) use this expression, I knew I was in the right place! I haven’t heard it for a while at High Point but I know it’s still at the heart of our worship. I just want to say that if pastor or anyone that you know has asked you to do something hard for the kingdom of God, simply look within yourself and ask if this is not in your heart. Then say out loud – I don’t have to – I get to!!! http://thenowhiningblog.blogspot.com http://setfreetexas.wordpress.com -  This post is being posted as it first appeared on the http://ilovehighpointchurch.wordpress.com blog this morning, with the exception of this notice!!!  Thanks TKR

If You're Praising You Can't Be Whining

When you have a thankful heart and you are considering all of the things that you have to be grateful for it makes it impossible to cry and complain.  When you know that the creator of the universe cared enough about you to come to the earth in the form of a man to give you eternal life and take you out of every backsliding and trouble that you every got into, then you realize that you have everything to be grateful for and you can open you're mouth in praise to Him.  While you are praising Him it's impossible to whine.  Praise the King!!!
