Telling Stories

Telling Stories: That’s why I tell stories: to create readiness, to nudge the people toward receptive insight. In their present state they can stare till doomsday and not see it, listen till they’re blue in the face and not get it. Matthew 13:13 MSG Bible Gateway.

Be Still

Be Still: Then Jesus got up, ordered the wind to stop, and said to the sea, “Be still, absolutely still!” The wind stopped blowing, and the sea became very calm. Mark 4:39 GWT Bible Gateway.

Consider Others First

Consider Others First: Don’t push your way to the front, don’t sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don’t be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand. Taken from Philippians 2:1-4 MSG Bible Gateway.
