ENLARGE
Quote - 'Enlarge the place of your tent.' - Isaiah 54
Hi, I'm Phil Pringle
You're going to love this;
______________________________________________________
As we get larger, we must get larger.
It's impossible to run a large organisation like a small one.
Bigger groups attract bigger people.
We have to become bigger people to handle bigger people.
Enlargement means - I get more generous;
I widen my acceptance of others; I'm more merciful;
I plan bigger, longer, grander plans; I stretch!
I cope with more.
I have more patience, greater love, stronger joy, firmer purpose.
I enlarge!
Stepping out with you,
Pst Phil Pringle

REIGNING IN LIFE
Quote - 'People who deny responsibility for their own actions use a language that portrays them as passive victims of circumstance' - Theodore Dalrymple
Hi, I'm Phil Pringle
You're going to love this;
_________________________________________________
Jesus Christ sits at the right hand of the throne of God.
Because He reigns, I reign.
He rules, I rule.
I'm in Him. He's in me.
He rules over sickness and disease. I rule over sickness and disease.
He rules over the devil. I rule over the devil.
I act in His Name.
His power is the same as it ever was! And His power resides in me.

DILIGENCE
Quote - 'The hand of the diligent will rule, but the lazy man will be put to forced labour. - Proverbs 12:24
Hi, I'm Phil Pringle
You're going to love this;
_______________________________________________________
Leadership falls to the diligent.
Those not diligent work for someone else.
Diligence assumes responsibility; meets deadlines; keeps promises; studies all the areas of your business; keeps at a thing until it is completed.
The American Heritage Dictionary defines diligence as; 1. Earnest and persistent application to an undertaking; steady effort; assiduity. 2. Attentive care; heedfullness.
Without diligence we forfeit control, influence and leadership not just in other's lives, but also in our own.

LAZINESS
Quote - 'The desire of the lazy man kills him, for his hands refuse to labour. - Prov 21:25
Hi, I'm Phil Pringle
You're going to love this;
___________________________________________
The heart of the lazy will be ruled by frustration and anger unless effort matches desire.
The thrill of the hunt and the kill is all the lazy person wants.
To gut the fish, skin the bear or butcher the beast is too much like hard work.
The lazy man lives in an unfinished world - Nothing is completed.
The excitement of starting a thing soon fades to hard work that the lazy person does not want to do.

YOUR FUTURE
Quote - 'Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old.' - Isa 43:18
Hi, I'm Phil Pringle
You're going to love this;
________________________________________________
Preoccupation with the past prevents us from appropriating our future.
What you're focused on is where you're going.
No matter what your emotional attitude is, you'll go where you're focused.
You may hate the person you think about all the time.
The hatred won't stop you going there though.
You'll go where you're focused.
If you're focussed on the past, you're going backwards.
Choose to forget the past.
Focus on the brilliant future.

THINK BIG
Quote - 'Big goals get big results. No goals get no results.'
- Mark Victor Hansen
Hi, I'm Phil Pringle
You're going to love this;
___________________________________________________
I've found it easier to raise finance for a $12 million building than for a $3000 washing machine.
If it doesn't inspire it doesn't motivate.
The team, the congregation, the public must be captured by the vision.
If it's too small it won't inspire.
If it's rediculously big it won't be believed.
Big, realistic thinking delivers.
People rally to a big dream.

THE WILLING HEART
Quote - 'Toil, when willing, groweth less' - Bayard Taylor
Hi, I'm Phil Pringle
You're going to love this;
__________________________________________________________
Energy is high when our will is engaged.
Without enthusiasm, strength for the task will flag.
When kids 'have to do' what they don't want to do, shoulders sag and knuckles drag.
When they're doing what they want to do... streaked lightning!
Creativity, positivity and fun, follow the willing heart.
Burnout follows those who live a life they don't want to live.
Getting willing is a decision I make.
I want to do this!

Take my Son
A wealthy man and his son loved to collect rare works of art. They had everything in their collection, from Picasso to Raphael. They would often sit together and admire the great works of art.
When the Vietnam conflict broke out, the son went to war. He was very courageous and died in battle while rescuing another soldier. The father was notified and grieved deeply for his only son.
About a month later, just before Christmas, there was a knock at the door. A young man stood at the door with a large package in his hands.
He said, "Sir, you don't know me, but I am the soldier for whom your son gave his life. He saved many lives that day, and he was carrying me to safety when a bullet struck him in the heart and he died instantly. He often talked about you, and your love for art." The young man held out this package. "I know this isn't much. I'm not really a great artist, but I think your son would have wanted you to have this."
The father opened the package. It was a portrait of his son, painted by the young man. He stared in awe at the way the soldier had captured the personality of his son in the painting. The father was so drawn to the eyes that his own eyes welled up with tears. He thanked the young man and offered to pay him for the picture. "Oh, no sir, I could never repay what your son did for me. It's a gift."
The father hung the portrait over his mantle. Every time visitors came to his home he took them to see the portrait of his son before he showed them any of the other great works he had collected.
The man died a few months later. There was to be a great auction of his paintings Many influential people gathered, excited over seeing the great paintings and having an opportunity to purchase one for their collection.
On the platform sat the painting of the son. The auctioneer pounded his gavel. "We will start the bidding with this picture of the son. Who will bid for this picture?"
There was silence.
Then a voice in the back of the room shouted, "We want to see the famous paintings. Skip this one."
But the auctioneer persisted. "Will somebody bid for this painting. Who will start the bidding? $100, $200?"
Another voice angrily.. "We didn't come to see this painting. We came to see the Van Goghs, the Rembrandts. Get on with the real bids!"
But still the auctioneer continued. "The son! The son! Who'll take the son?"
Finally, a voice came from the very back of the room. It was the longtime gardener of the man and his son. "I'll give $10 for the painting." Being a poor man, it was all he could afford
"We have $10, who will bid $20?"
"Give it to him for $10. Let's see the masters."
"$10 is the bid, won't someone bid $20?"
The crowd was becoming angry. They didn't want the picture of the son.
They wanted the more worthy investments for their collections.
The auctioneer pounded the gavel. "Going once, twice, SOLD for $10!"
A man sitting on the second row shouted, "Now let's get on with the collection!"
The auctioneer laid down his gavel. "I'm sorry, the auction is over."
"What about the paintings?"
"I am sorry. When I was called to conduct this auction, I was told of a secret stipulation in the will. I was not allowed to reveal that stipulation until this time. Only the painting of the son would be auctioned. Whoever bought that painting would inherit the entire estate, including the paintings.
The man who took the son gets everything!"
God gave His son 2,000 years ago to die on the cross. Much like the auctioneer, His message today is: "The son, the son, who'll take the son?"
Because, you see, whoever takes the Son gets everything.
FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, WHO SO EVER BELIEVETH, SHALL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE...THAT'S LOVE
God Bless.
