GIGO, BASIC GARBAGE IN? BASIC GARBAGE OUT.
Flawed or nonsense input into data produces nonsense output. Life is about the quality of the output depends on the QUALITY OF INPUT. Where does garbage go? It goes in a landfill?
Garbage, trash, dump, rubbish, waste, junk, LITTER,
Your words, your attitudes and your actions are only as good as the information you provide.
Want to hear an euphemism: “FILE 13. ” If a program is given incorrect, invalid or nonsensical input, it will always produce incorrect, invalid and nonsense output.
Colossians 3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
Colossians 3:23 (NLT2) Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.
Colossians 3:23 (NIV) Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men,
GOOD EFFORT, BAD RESULTS. HE MEANT WELL? O MAN OF GOD, THERE IS DEATH IN THE POT…
Elisha was the preacher. All the young workers were building or enlarging the SCHOOL OF MINISTRY. There was a call to the young men to come and work and help. As the men worked they got hungry. So they decided to cook a big pot of vegetable soup. One young man made what could have been a FATAL MISTAKE. His ignorance could have killed many preachers.
2 Kings 4:38 And Elisha came again to Gilgal: and there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the sons of the prophets. 39 And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage: for they knew them not. 40 So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O thou man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof. 41 But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot.
I CAN’T STOP BIRDS FROM FLYING OVER MY HEAD! BUT I CAN STOP THEM FROM BUILDING NEST ON MY HEAD.
I ASKED A LITTLE BOY WHAT HE WANTED TO BE WHEN HE GREW UP? He answered me, I want to draw. I said: That is good to be an artist! He said no I want to draw a government check. He would be the 4th generation to “draw?” The goals of life might require no effort.
HIDDEN POISONOUS ROOTS GROW DEEP. WE MUST LEARN TO IDENTIFY THE ROOT OF OUR PROBLEMS. I HAVE BEEN WOUNDED AND THE INFECTION HAS TURNED INTO GANG GREEN.
Hebrews 12:12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; 13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. 14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: 15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
Hebrews 12:12 (NLT2) So take a new grip with your tired hands and strengthen your weak knees. 13 Mark out a straight path for your feet so that those who are weak and lame will not fall but become strong. 14 Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord.
15 Look after each other so that none of you fails to receive the grace of God. Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many.
WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN WHEN WE ARE TREATED BADLY? WE MUST BE AGREEABLE. TALK ABOUT POISON IN THE POT? DON’T RETALIATE INSULTS…
1 Peter 3:9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
1 Peter 3:9 (MSG) That goes for all of you, no exceptions. No retaliation. No sharp-tongued sarcasm. Instead, bless—that's your job, to bless. You'll be a blessing and also get a blessing.
THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT APPLYING OURSELVES AND GIVING OUR BEST EFFORT. CHOICES HAVE CONSEQUENCES… SEEMS WE LIVE IN A DAY OF HAND OUTS NOT HAND UPS. GIVE ME A FISH VS. TEACH ME TO FISH.
2 Thessalonians 3:10 (NLT2) Even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “Those unwilling to work will not get to eat.” 11 Yet we hear that some of you are living idle lives, refusing to work and meddling in other people’s business. 12 We command such people and urge them in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and work to earn their own living.
Seems many of this new generation have not been taught work ethics.
WHAT IS THE LEAST EFFORT I CAN GIVE AND STILL SLIDE BY? WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN SMALL EFFORT AND LITTLE EFFORT? DO WE WANT TO ATTAIN SUCCESS WITH GIVING LITTLE TO NO EFFORT?
Habakkuk 3:1 (LB) This is the prayer of triumph that Habakkuk sang before the Lord. 2. O Lord, now I have heard your report, I worship you in awl for the fearful things you are going to do. In this time of our deep need, begin again to help us, as you did in years gone by. Show us your power to save us. In your wrath and in your mercy.
WE FACE EXHAUSTION WHEN WE GROW WEARY AND DESIRE TO QUIT. LITTLE EFFORT, LITTLE RESULTS. GOD PROMISES US DIVINE STRENGTH IF WE FAINT NOT.
Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Galatians 6:9 (MSG) So let's not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don't give up, or quit.
IN SEASONS OF DISCOURAGEMENT WE TEND TO LOSE SIGHT OF THE GOAL BEFORE US.
Ecclesiastes 9:10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
Ecclesiastes 9:10 (NLT2) Whatever you do, do well. For when you go to the grave, there will be no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom.
WE MUST EXERT EFFORT TO LEARN CONTENTMENT AND JOY. LIFE IS EASY WHEN YOU ARE UP ON A MOUNTAIN BUT REAL LIFE MUST LEARN THE VALUE OF VALLEYS.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Philippians 4:13 (MSG) Whatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am.
HOW MANY TIMES DOES IT TAKE TO OVERCOME THE POISON IN THE POT?
Matthew 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
490, ARE WE AS QUICK TO FORGIVE AS GOD IS?
Psalm 51:12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
CONCLUSION: TO CHOIR DIRECT SING THIS: I AM IN IT TO WIN IT.
Habakkuk 3:17 Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: 18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. 19 The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.
