A farmer asked the owner of a local restaurant if he would be able to use a million frog legs. The proprietor asked where he could find so many frog legs. "There's a pond at home just full of them," he replied. "They drive me crazy night and day." After they had made an agreement for several hundred frogs, the farmer returned home. He came back a week later with two scrawny frogs and a foolish look on his face. "I guess I was wrong," he stammered. There were just two frogs in the pond, but they sure we're making a lot of noise." Next time you hear a lot of noise, remember, it may just be a couple of croakers.

 

 

Romans 10:17

So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

 

 

If you tried to pass off a letter to me saying it was my wife’s… I would be able to tell. If you tried to fake her voice over the phone I would be able to tell immediately. I have spent almost 40 years with this woman… I know her, her vocabulary, her intentions, her inflections, her attitude towards me… 

 

The more time you spend with God the more you can cut through the voices that are not his- and then you just focus on his voice and ignore the rest. 

 

 

As a kid we had a ventriloquist come and perform at our Kids church. I was mesmerized. I couldn’t believe this puppet could talk. After the service I went up and held the puppet, just waiting for it to talk to me… not a word. Where were the voices coming from? It’s a great question to ask yourself in todays world.
