ROADSIDE BAPTIST MISSION CHURCH

THOUGHT AND SCRIPTURE FOR THE WEEK

Do not think you are on the right road just because it is a

well-beaten path. Matthew 7:13 and 14 - Enter ye in at the

strait gate; for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that

leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which

leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

GOD ALWAYS HAS THE LAST LAUGH

Many years ago, Tyndall translated and printed Bibles. The

King of England wanted the Bibles destroyed, so he sent his

soldier to Tyndall to buy all of the Bibles. Tyndall quoted an

exorbitant price, which the soldier willingly paid it to get the

Bibles and destroy them. Tyndall took that money and used

it to print thirty times more Bibles than he sold the soldier.

When those Bibles were distributed, the King asked how

Tyndall got the money to reprint all those Bibles. The

soldier replied, “He did it with the money you paid him.”

OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES

Little Boy: God, how long is a second in Heaven?

God: A second in Heaven is 1 billion years.

Little Boy: God, how much is a penny in Heaven?

God: A penny in Heaven is 1 billion dollars.

Little Boy: God, may I have a penny?

God: In a second.

THE MOST BOUGHT BUT LEAST READ BOOK

According to a survey taken in England in July 2009,

75% of the people that were questioned said they owned

a Bible. However, only one in twenty people could

name the Ten Commandments and 60% did not know

the story of the Good Samaritan. Most British young

people believe the Bible is “irrelevant” and “old

fashioned.” One person thought David and Goliath was

the name of a ship. Owning a Bible is not enough; it has

to be read and heeded on a daily basis.

FOREVER EYES

“Forever Eyes” is a term that means to look at all

things from an eternal perspective. This is important

when establishing priorities. It helps keep a proper

balance with job and home responsibilities, church

activities and everything else that needs to be done. If

you do not use “Forever Eyes,” you may make poor

choices about prioritizing. “Forever Eyes” may cause

you to change plans or make difficult choices, but God’s

ways are always better than our ways. Ask Him to help

you live each day with eternity in mind.
