In Or Out: Lord Of Our Attitudes

In or Out · Around November 27, 2021

"The only difference between you and me is that you can see my handicap, but I can't see yours. We all have them. When people ask me how I've been able to overcome my physical handicaps, I tell them that I haven't overcome anything. I've simply learned what I can't do - such as play the piano or eat with chopsticks - but more importantly, I've learned what I can do. Then I do what I can do with all my heart and soul." - Roger Crawford

1. If you want to have a cruddy attitude, be full of yourself.

Prideful people are complainers.

Prideful people are stubborn.

Prideful people are control freaks.

Luke 9:47-48Translation not recorded

Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him. Then he said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For he who is the least among you all—he is the greatest."

"The Almighty didn’t act high and mighty. The only one who was holy didn’t act “holier than thou”. The only one who knew it all didn’t act like a “know it all” and the one who owned all the stuff never “strutted his stuff."

Luke 9:51-54NIV

Samaritan Opposition

51As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. 52And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him; 53but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. 54When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them[1]?”
