Do Not Act Impulsively!








How Often Have We Heard Someone Say: 
"I Lost My Head!" 
After Acting Presumptuously 
And
In Haste!?! 

Oh, How Satan ... The Bounty-Hunter 
Loves To Hear Those Words Uttered 
In The Leisurely Activity Called Sorrowful Repentance! 
 
Beloved, 

A Scornful Dog Eats Dirty Pudding 
And 
The Impulsive, Hasty To Be Angry Person 
Gets To Slowly, Sorrowfully, Eat 
The Usually Unpalatable Patty Of 
Remorse And Regret 
If 
They Are Wise Unto The Saving Of Their Own Soul! 

We Are Imbued By Our Maker-Savior With 
The Ability To Think Clearly 
And 
Reason Wisely! 

Unfortunately, Many Of Us Choose To Act Irrationally
Impulsively ... Foolishly
Giving In To Sinful-Self While Forgetting That 
All Acts Have Outcomes
Many Of Which Are Unintended
Most Of Which Can Never Be Corrected! 

Please Don't Put Your Brain In Park 
While Your Mouth, Hands, And Feet Are In Motion! 

Let Us Remember What We Were Taught In Primary School 
When Learning To Cross The Street: 

Look Right! 
Look Left! 
And 
Look Right Again
And
Then Cross 
If
The Way Is Clear! 

Weigh The Pros! 
Weigh The Con

And

Remember That Impulsiveness 
Never Lays Out The Warm, Comfortable
Pretty Bed Of Peace And Quiet! 

Think Twice ... Even Thrice
Before You Act, Act Up, Or Act Out! 

Please Practice Self-Control: 
It Is One Of The Choice Fruits Of The Holy Spirit! 

Peace!

Lean On Jesus!






Have You Considered, Even For A Moment, That 
Wherever Our Minds Go, Our Bodies Follow!?! 

Have You Considered The Word That Says That 
As A Man Thinks In His Heart So Is He!?! 

Have You Seriously Given Consideration To The Warning That 
We Not Only Sin By Word And Deed 
But Also By Thought, Our First Step Into Action!?! 

Beloved, 

We Think Before We Speak 
And
We Speak Before We Act
Even If It Is Only To Ourselves! 

Many Of Us Would Love To Say That 
We Acted Without Thinking 
But 
Saying This Negates The Fact That 
Thoughts Are To Words And Actions 
What Food Is To Energy And Strength! 

The Elders Always Warned Us By Saying 
"What A Sober Mind Conceals
A Drunken Mind Reveals!" 

Beware Of Passion And Pride 
And 
Let No One Encourage You Into The Folly Of 
"No Guts, No Glory!" 

Vainglory Is Not Glory 
Because 
It Does Not Profit! 

If You Desire Real And Lasting Glory
Choose To Glory In The Cross Of Christ!

Let Us Dare Today 
To Think On Christ Jesus Who Thinks On Us 
And
Let Us By Working Faith Choose To Follow His Example 
By Indulging Exalted Thoughts
Kind Words
And 
Lovingly-Done Deeds! 

Choose To Learn Impulse Control 
Or Else
Instead Of Being Led By The Customized Reins Of 
The Word Of God
You Will Be Like A Pop-Kite 
On The Ferocious Winds Of Destructive Change 
Compliments Of Satan The God-Fraud! 

Lean On Jesus Christ The King! 
Learn From Jesus Christ The Lord! 
Jesus Christ, Alone, Saves! 

Peace!
