Tuesday's Top Eight- Vision Problems
Church Vision Problems
Proverbs 28:19 says, “Where there is no vision, the people
perish.” So, for those that are Christians, you would think that we would be
good to go, right? But during my time in church, I have observed several vision
problems that could use correction. Here’s the top eight: 1. Near Sighted- Would really like to go into all the world, but have trouble seeing past the front door, or the bottom of their wallet.
2. Far Sighted- So satisfied with the slide show from the orphanage in Belarus, where they’ve sent $50 a month, they forget that there are hurting people here too.
3. Short Sighted- Spend, spend, spend, not worried
about the fact that someone else will have to budget for this after we are
gone. (You know, kind of like Congress.)Uses the term “walk in faith” like a
club and a shield to cover for poor planning and absence of reason.
4.
Negative Outlook- The glass is ¾ empty, cracked,
and dirty…and the water is muddy.
5.
Rose-Colored Glasses Syndrome- The church is
in decline, but we’re just fine.
6. Splinter
and Beam Injury- Causes by hitting the beam in your eye against something while
trying to remove the splinter from someone else’s eye.
7. Heritage Hindsight – Afflicted with fond visions
and recollections of days gone by. These folks frequently plow up the corn
while looking back.
8.
“I” Trouble- “I” did this and “I” want that. This
issue is usually brought on by a case of the “Me”asles.
Somebody get me my seeing-eye dog…
