“Just say to yourself, WWBD (what would Bagster do)”
funny personal slide note...
I lead a Thursday evening home group. What an adventure this has been. Great people and lots of love. Anyway, we referenced a few verses where Peter is mentioned and I noted that he always seems to say, or do, the wrong thing at the wrong time.
I suggested that trendy WWJD NONSENSE that was going around a few years ago with the comment; “What would Jesus do? He’d be the Creator of everything, out of nothing by simply speaking it all into existence, He’d be born of a virgin, heal the sick and the blind, raise people from the dead, He’d live a sinless life and pay for the sins of everyone. YOU AIN’T JESUS!”
I suggested the better approach should be WWPD-what would Peter do? That is the better view of who we are. I jokingly suggested that I might even make a t-shirt with with that upon it. Well, last night we had a social night together and YUP, they gave me a shirt with that on it. Still laughing about this.
I can’t wait to wear it to church this morning and it will certainly be entertaining and interesting to see who “gets it”, especially the pastor, as he greets everyone before the service.
He didn’t “get it” when I titled our group.”Route 66: James- the first letter on the way”, asking; “why route 66?”
...umm...because there are 66 books in the Bible and James is the fist NT letter/book written”. That’s why =o)
I may soon have to find a different church, where the pastor knows the bible. ::eyeroll::

There is a vast difference in knowing the Bible academically and living the truth of the Living Word in our thoughts, prayers, and actions.
As we draw closer to the Lord we move away from the world. This is the hard part for so much of the world is presented as innocent fun, just politics, or I’m not as bad as those people.
When we look at the world through Gods eyes, things become simple:
If God is for it, Satan is against it!
God - marriage between a man and a woman
Satan- marriage between you and anything, a woman in England married a tree in her front yard a few years ago
God - Be fruitful and multiply
Saran - Abortion ( even post birth)
God - Male and female created He them
Satan- You can choose any gender you can imagine
God- you will live by the fruits of your labor (and I will clothe you as the birds in the field)
Satan - Take from the rich and give to the poor, taxes where one man lives by another man’s labor, government safety nets, etc
Everything we see in the news and politics must needs be looked at in the light of God’s moral clarity. Then it becomes very evidently clear where to draw the battle lines in our lives. Our choices become crystal clear, and who the right choice is for our leadership become obvious. And we must always judge people by the fruit on their tree. May God give us strength and wisdom to live as He designed us to live!

Something involving a whip and overturning tables comes to mind...

Made me chuckle
Couple of things. My wife and used to belong to a Bible Study small group that was also called, “Route 66”. And I love Peter and I refer to him as the, “Ready, Fire, Aim” guy - just like me!
For this thread I suggest WWPD=What Would Petey Do?
