Harry Martin is the eldest elder at the church I grew up in, Northwest Fellowship. He reminds me a lot of Professor Kirke from the Narnia Chronicles. Almost every time he teaches he says something amusing and thoughtful. This morning he taught, and I thought, "I need to feature his quotes on my web page." Here they are: |
"You hear about the Roman Arena... I'd like to see a room full of Christians as excited as an arena full of hockey fans" |
If James Lipton asked me my favorite noise, I'd tell him: A choir of six year olds singing "This is the Day that the Lord Has made." My least favorite noise? A preacher on the television or radio asking for money. |
I'm a book channel junkie. Lisa's favorite |
Without prayer I'd just be an angry old man. Without Ducktape. Referring to how we should pray for the world leaders rather than complain about them |
THIS WEEK'S QUOTE: |
Talk about weapons of mass destruction... Just think about what one angel could do! |
And when you read the Bible in the morning, don't just flip the pages and do what it says. You might flip to "tie your ass to a tree." |
Other greats: |
(let me know if you have a quote of his I should put up here) |
"You'll come out of this smelling like roses..." I was experiencing a sort of physical/spiritual battle today in church. As I was walking to my car to have a good cry, Harry stopped me and asked me what was wrong. I told him I was going through some stuff. I was pretty vague. Anyway, he told me the above quote. I think it applies to any battle we hand over to the Lord. |
"Jesus wasn't running for Messiah" That was contributed to me by Bekah Ridenour |
It's a great thing to be 78 years old and still have a future to look forward to. |
I don't use notes to remember what to say, I use them so I don't go on and on and on. |
God "Tabernacles", not "Temples", among us. |
