A COBU Crutch
List of Basic Issues We Threw Away
It was explained to me that this is a list of the things that basically went in one ear and out the other.
1) "My Need for Jesus / Evidence of God's Love for Me" paper
2) The Thankfulness Chain.
Evidently, each of these listed items is to ignite certain synapses already planted in their brains by Stewart.
The "Thankfulness Chain" was explained to me something like this:
How can we be thankful?
How can we be thankful unless we've received something?
We can't recieve anything unless we ask
We're not going to ask for something unless we think we need it
We're not going to think we need something..
You get the picture...
Programmed round and round!
The Paper
Is three columns covering almost entirely two sides of a sheet of paper, so there's no way I'm going to type the whole thing out. Besides, you wouldn't want to read the whole thing anyway.
Up above are the first two items on the sheet.
There are 241 in all!
Just keep those in mind.
Geez, it's not that bad is it?
It's not like there's 633.
...Just wait!
Some of the list:
3) We must be a LOVE ONE ANOTHER FELLOWSHIP.
4)the #1 PRINCIPLE because it is the #1 Principle.
5) My sin is too strong for me; it scares me; I'm ashamed of it, and all I want to do is hide. But I'm going to depend on Jesus and live by faith, and FORGET MY THINKING!
6) We must unite in staying with Jesus by living the whole Recipe, because it is the ONLY Recipe; otherwise a human point of view will take over, and get over on us, whether from within or without.
(WOW! Please pass the paranoia please. Mmm - good coolaide...
7) the Cycle: Alarm / Lazy / Direct Hostility.
8) PLENTY of reason to be ashamed, but NO NEED to be.
9) The reality of the resurrection.
10) The BIG PICTURE vs. the little trash.

240) What is promised to faith? That your builders will outstrip your destroyers.
