You can’t be serious! That can't be necessary? By Eddie Windsor

Recently I was thinking about decisions people make that in our modern day society are not considered wrong but are having a negative impact on their lives. It seems that the common thought now days is “Why Not” everyone is doing it. The other day I questioned a person about something they were doing that was clearly hurting their personal life and relationships. Their response was that what they were doing was not sin.

1 Corinthians 10:23 “Everything is permissible but not everything is beneficial, (and) not everything is constructive.” (NIV)

At first glance it seems like “Everything is permissible” is a blank check for Gods people. It is true we have been given incredible freedoms but let’s not write the check until we have finished this verse. “Everything is permissible but not everything is beneficial, (and) not everything is constructive.” The Apostle Paul is saying that there are many things we do in life that are not necessarily wrong there just not necessary. Let me say it like this, not everything makes for a better life even though its legal. I have discovered that it’s not a matter between good and bad. It’s more of a matter between what’s good and what’s the best. Most of the choices you make in life are not choices between really good and really evil. You don’t get up in the morning and say, “Shall I read my Bible or shall I become an international terrorist?” “Should I pray or become a drug addict?” So what is the real issue here? What is this verse actually saying? That most of the decisions you make are not necessarily wrong, they’re morally and socially neutral in our today’s society.

Can we talk honestly for a couple of minutes? Can we talk about things that are not morally and or socially wrong but they are negatively impacting your life! You say Eddie alcohol is permissible I’m 21 years old now. Your right but it’s destroying your body and destroying your relationships! It’s legal and someday you may be legally dead. You beat the gardener and pool man into the ground on price. It’s permissible but you have destroyed your Christian witness. An elderly couple is confused and driving slow in the fast lane. You blast your horn and confuse them even more. It’s permissible but maybe next time lay off the horn and try praying for their safety. I could give examples like this all day but I think you can see the point.

Are these things evil? No. Are they bad? No. Will they make you a better person? Absolutely not! The question is not, is there anything wrong with it? The question is, will this make my life better?

If you share your faith your fired, By Eddie Windsor

In the early 1970's my father (Edward M. Windsor) drove school bus for our local public school district. During his employee orientation he was told that school employee's were not permitted to share their religious beliefs. But if you knew my father you would realize that would be impossible for him. His passion was introducing people to his Lord. So he decided to get up at 4:30AM each morning and drive the bus route backwards praying for about two hours for each and every child and their families by name. He did this day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year.


A couple of weeks ago (more than 30 years later) I attended my father's funeral service. It was no surprise that aproximitly15 people were in attendance that had been on my father's school bus route. As I talked to each of these families it was easy to see the impact my father had on their lives. We estimated that 60% of the families who rode his school bus are now serving God and attribute their faith in Jesus to my father. Several kids from my fathers bus route have now become pastors.


The Teacher Applicant...

After being interviewed by the school administration, the teaching prospect said, "Let me see if I've got this right!

You want me to go into that room with all those kids, correct their disruptive behavior, observe them for signs of abuse, monitor their dress habits, censor their T-shirt messages, and instill in them a love for learning.

You want me to check their backpacks for weapons, wage war on drugs and sexually transmitted diseases, and raise their sense of self esteem and personal pride!

You want me to teach them patriotism and good citizenship, sportsmanship and fair play, and how to register to vote, balance a checkbook, and apply for a job.

You want me to check their heads for lice, recognize signs of antisocial behavior, and make sure that they all pass the state exams.

You also want me to provide them with an equal education regardless of their handicaps, and communicate regularly with their parents in English and Spanish by letter, telephone, newsletter, and report card.

You want me to do all this with a piece of chalk, a blackboard, a bulletin board, a few books, a big smile, and a starting salary that qualifies me for food stamps!?

You want me to do all this and then you tell me........ I CAN'T PRAY?

The next time you find yourself in a place where you are told you can't pray. Remember my father!

I am my fathers son,
