Bryan, I relate to this message more than I even want to admit that I do. The people that know me can always be sure that I am going to speak the truth, and sometimes that offends. I just don’t have an apology letter typed up for efficiency. Maybe I should get right on that……..
I never heard back from anyone who got a letter like that by the way I’m not sure they’re effective! LOL Thanks for checking in Ken
Usually the mad person gets over it. Lol we all need to work on not getting mad or offended about everything.
I’m kind of an approval addict.. I can’t take knowing that someone doesn’t like me. I’m a little better with counseling LOL
A lie is NEVER acceptable to God no matter what the situation may be.
Thanks for your comments.thats true but it doesn’t stop us from all lies.. sometimes we even lie to ourselvess
I lie to myself all the time, sadly.
Hi Tim thanks for signing the guest book here.. glad yer likin my sermons!
Don’t need to ask forgiveness for speaking truth. Anger is a tricky thing. The tongue can bless as well as curse. The one organ that can save, or condemn. So while speaking the truth is always preferred, sometimes it’s better not to say anything at all.
and that might be the hard part for ‘blurter’s’ like myself. who often speak before I think. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!MK
We could all use a little improval
Well I tried to post something but get an error message “looks like a duplicate”.
Oh my, a doupleganger.
No prob .. posting twice increase my popularity! ROFL text you on Superbowl Sunday
Oh, yes. I tend to be a people pleaser and sometimes I have to just let people be mad. That’s a hard thing for me to do. I have to constantly ask the Lord to tame my tongue lol.
always nice to hear from you Lynda, I know its part of being kind as well.. just sometimes You can’t always please others.
So glad you told me how I can actually leave comments on your podcast. Thanks for that! Goodness… This one got me. It makes me think of one of my very favorite books… “Unoffendable” by Brant Hansen.
Brennan Manning too in Ragamuffin Gospel says something similar about being un able to get defensive when you are accused.. Glad you found the comments page it encourages me to stay the course
Well, know I’m listening even when I fail to comment!
Very well put. We are all still a work in progress.We all need to constantly change. And you’re right, it is not about aproval from people but improval in the sight of God so we can also be compassionate to people. Shakespeare made up words, so you can too.
LOL thanks for your endorsement of my words LOL .. and your permission as well.. I’m so glad you resonate I’m not always sure that I’m making sense!
Somehow I think God approves of this message… AND ministry.
As a fellow lifetime member of Approval Addicts Anonymous, I find it difficult to let go of trying to prove my innocence, righteousness, or whatever it may be to save face, earn respect, maintain the facade that I >AM< worthy of … whatever.
IMPROVAL. – what I get when I recognize I’m approved by the only One that matters.
(Now I’m singing D & K’s song, “I’m accepted by the One who matters most”)
wish I could get off AA .. approval addicts LOL
