YOUR BELIEF SYSTEM! WHAT IS IT? WHY IS IT? WHAT DOES IT ACCOMPLISH?

In 1762, Jean Jacques Rousseau wrote, “One half of all children die by their 8th birthday. This is nature’s law. Do not try to contradict it.” In the 19th century, the head of the U.S. Patent Office wanted to close it down. He believed that all inventions that would create change had already been invented.

And there are those who believe that there are some people who can never change. This may be a contradiction in terms, but one of the constants in our lives is that change is inevitable. We all change, all the time. From birth to death we never stay the same. We get better or we get worse. We never stay the same. For some the changes are small – they have decided who they are and whom they will follow – but…even THEY do not remain static.

And for those who want to change, and please note I did not say wish to change - your commitment to your belief system must be greater than just a wish - the decision is really not can I change but to what will I change. Who do I chose to emulate and follow.

A man named Gerald Mann wrote the following and I have taken the liberty to do a bit of rewrite. Listen and think about these thoughts for there is so much of your tomorrows in it.
There is no rut so deep you (cannot climb out of it.)
There is no dream so lost you cannot retrieve it.
There is no hurt so bad you (cannot learn from it.)
There is no sin so bad that God cannot cure it.

Have you considered putting all or an edited version of these ideas in your newsletter or your churches newsletter or your blog?
