Where to Take Your Complaints – #9780

July 5, 2024

Ken really felt he got a promotion when he left the business world to enter full-time Christian ministry, and I think he did. But it wasn’t so much because of the salary. Oh, I’m sure you thought it was because of the great money that he would make in Christian ministry. No, it wasn’t because of the great benefits, but his job before had been handling consumer complaints.

Now, he was definitely a candidate for a lot of antacids. Can you imagine getting calls all day long from people whose whole thing is to tell you what they didn’t like? He’s in ministry now, so Ken deals with a lot of people’s burdens, but it’s a whole lot better stress than that old job was. How would you be able to listen to people dump on you for eight hours a day? It’s a dirty job, but somebody’s got to do it, and somebody wants to.

I’m Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “Where to Take Your Complaints.”

Our word for today from the Word of God comes from Psalm 142. David says, “I cry aloud to the Lord.” Sure sounds like he’s hurting. “I lift up my voice to the Lord for mercy. I pour out my complaint before Him. Before Him I tell my trouble. When my spirit grows faint within me, it is You who knows my way.” That’s a very interesting portrayal of where our complaints ought to go. God’s Throne Room – that’s where you ought to take your complaints. David said, “I pour out my complaint to Him. It’s before the Lord I tell my trouble.” “He’s the One where I, in a sense, dump all of this hurt, anger, and frustration.”

Of course, we have a tendency to take our complaints to other places, don’t we? We complain to our friends, we complain about the other guy to everybody else except the guy, we complain to our family, we complain to our co-workers, and the only thing we accomplish is we get to drag them down with us. They were feeling great until we came along. And then, all of a sudden, this big, dark cloud came in with us. We start them thinking negatively about it too. And we sound like squeaky chalk.

Well, the Bible tells us in 1 Peter 3:15, as believers, to “be ready to give a reason for the hope that is in us.” A lot of folks can’t hear our hope because they hear more about our hassles. Listen to yourself. Step outside of yourself and just try to listen. Are you becoming a complainer? God doesn’t say, “Don’t complain.” That would be denying the pain – denying your real feelings. He invites us to complain all over Him. He’s the One who can do something about it.

David said, “It is You who knows my way.” You know, that’s why people bypass the complaint department sometimes and go right to the president. They say, “Hey, I want action! So forget the complaint guy; I’m going straight to the top!” Well, that’s actually the place to go. Sometimes it’s appropriate to go to an offending person and confront them in order to seek healing. And, of course, it’s appropriate to share our burden with other people and ask them to pray for us. But first, dump all your garbage at your Lord’s feet. Go to the top! Get the emotions out before Him. Get some objectivity, some perspective that comes from being in God’s presence with all that stuff.

Hebrews 4 tells us that we can go to the throne of God’s Grace and there we can “obtain mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” How about trading your gripes for grace? The Throne Room of God is the complaint department of the universe. So, let God deal with your complaints. You won’t get action by complaining to all the employees. Skip them and go straight to the top.

True: Does this align with God’s Word?
(Psalm 19:7; John 16:13; 2 Timothy 3:16–17)
Honourable: Does this bring respect to yourself and others?
(Proverbs 22:1; Romans 12:10; 1 Peter 2:12)
Right: Is it just and fair?
(Micah 6:8; Romans 12:2; Proverbs 21:3)
Pure: Is it free from moral fault?
(Psalm 51:10; Philippians 4:8; James 3:17)
Lovely: Does it promote love and compassion?
(1 Corinthians 16:14; Colossians 3:12–14; 1 John 4:7)
Praiseworthy: Is it deserving of admiration and respect?
(Psalm 145:3; Ephesians 1:12; Philippians 2:3)

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7, NKJV).

[2] And the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed. [3] And Moses said, “I will turn aside to see this great sight, why the bush is not burned.” [4] When the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.”

BUFFALO RIDING – #4578

Wednesday, July 28, 2004

I love to drive through Custer State Park in South Dakota because if you’re lucky you get to see a lot of buffalo. Now, seeing them is one thing – riding them is another. We were recently in South Dakota. One important part of our ministry, of course, is reaching what one researcher called the most devastated young people in America, and we were there for an outreach among Native American young people. Reservation young people are in just great need of the Lord. We were with our Lakota Sioux Christian brother and we saw some buffalo, and we joked a little bit about hunting them, and so on. Then he said, “You know, I know someone who rides buffalo in parades and on holidays.” I said, “Wait a minute. Did you say rides a buffalo?” I can’t imagine boarding one of these wonderful wild animals. Well, somebody asked this buffalo rider, “What’s it take?” He said, “Patience.” Then he said, “If you neglect him one or two days, he won’t be tamed anymore.”

I’m Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “Buffalo Riding.”

Our word for today comes from Romans 7:19. It talks about the buffalo inside you and me – a wild beast that does not want to be tamed. Verse 19: “For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do – this I keep on doing. Now, if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.” Verse 24, “What a wretched man I am!” Paul says. “Who will rescue me from this body of death?” It’s pretty hopeless up to this point. And then here’s the good news. “Thanks be to God – through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

There’s an animal inside me that wants to go against God. The hymn writer says, “Prone to wander, Lord I feel it … prone to leave the God I love.” We know what God wants. We want it too, but we keep choosing to let that part of us that gets out of control run us. We can’t tame it, but we’re not without hope. There’s a Savior, not only from the penalty of sin, but from the power of sin. Romans 6 says, “sin will no longer be your master.” When we surrender that wild part of us to Jesus, He begins to tame what has always ruled us. But you can’t tame it once and for all. It takes patience, like the buffalo rider said.

Luke 9:23, “Take up your cross daily, and follow me.” If you neglect that buffalo, that animal inside of you one or two days, well, he won’t be tamed anymore. That sin has beaten you. And it has to be beaten now on a 24-hour basis. Twenty-four-hour little victories. Some of us have made the mistake of thinking that one great spiritual experience would tame the buffalo once and for all. But it keeps getting away from us again. It keeps riding over us. We miss the daily part.

If you conquer sin one day at a time, and if Jesus is the only one that can conquer it, then it stands to reason you have to be with Jesus each new day. You notice something that happens consistently when you miss a day or two of your time with Jesus. The dark side of you starts to surface again. I see it happen to me. I see traits that I was seeing less of, and suddenly I start seeing more of it again and so does everyone else close to me. It’s as if that daily surrender time with Jesus is the only dam that holds back the parts of me I hate. You miss being with the Savior from sin, and the sin starts to leak back in. You need a consistent get-together with the Lord Jesus where you again make Him Lord of your stubborn sins.

That’s largely the margin between victory and defeat because we’ve all got a buffalo to tame. Let him go unattended for a couple of days, and that sin will stampede right over you again. But you can ride the buffalo that has ridden you by daily turning over the reins to the one who died to tame the animal in you – the Savior, Jesus Christ.

Third F….

11/28/1981 Bear Bryant becomes the winningest college football coach of all time #315 in the iron bowl……

10 Best Quotes From Bear Bryant

1. “When you make a mistake, there are only three things you should ever do about it: 1. Admit it. 2. Learn from it, and 3. Don’t repeat it.”
2. “The first time you quit, it’s hard. The second time, it gets easier. The third time, you don’t even have to think about it.”
3. “It’s not the will to win that matters—everybody has that. It’s the will to prepare to win that matters.”
4. “I know what it takes to win. If I can sell them on what it takes to win, then we are not going to lose too many football games.”
5. “My attitude has always been…if it’s worth playing, it’s worth paying the price to win.”
6. “If a man is a quitter, I’d rather find out in practice than in a game. I ask for all a player has so I’ll know later what I can expect.”
7. “Football changes and so do people. The successful coach is the one who sets the trend, not the one who follows it.”
8. “Set goals-high goals for you and your organization. When your organization has a goal to shoot for, you create teamwork, people working for a common good.”
9. “It’s awfully important to win with humility. It’s also important to lose. I hate to lose worse than anyone, but if you never lose you won’t know how to act. If you lose with humility, then you can come back.”
10. “You boys were eight and ten years old last time Alabama was on top. That was before any of you were paying much attention to it. What are you doing here? Tell me why you are here. If you are not here to win a national championship, you’re in the wrong place. You boys are special. I don’t want my players to be like other students. I want special people. You can learn a lot on the football field that isn’t taught in the home, the church, or the classroom. There are going to be days when you think you’ve got no more to give and then you’re going to give plenty more. You are going to have pride and class. You are going to be very special. You are going to win the national championship for Alabama.”

Inspirational Quotes From Bryant

• “Winning isn’t everything, but it beats anything that comes in second.”
• “If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride -and never quit- you’ll be a winner. The price of victory is high but so are the rewards.”
• “In life, you’ll have your back up against the wall many times. You might as well get used to it”
• “It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.”

Continue on….until returning to the BORO to finish in a circle of silent trust…..

Quick Timeline of the JFK Assassination:

If you look at photos in the 1950s and early 60s men wore hats.

John F Kennedy was so popular that men stopped wearing hats!

“In 1964, the year the Warren Commission issued its report, the New York Times

published five stories in which ‘conspiracy theory‘ appeared.”

• According to his son, and his friends. Bobby Kennedy did not believe the Warren Commission:

Official Treory 1. Only one shooter Lee Harvey Oswald.

The Bullet was found on Governor Connelly’s Gurney.

Bullet was just sitting there.

Bullet was Not Distorted.

Why was there no repercussions against Cuba?

Things we didn’t know at the time of Warren Report in 1964:

The Warren report was given the task to fit the evidence to fit the official story.

2. The Route was changed at the last minute.
3. JFK was always in pain and wore a backbrace.

He was fired by John F. Kennedy over the latter fiasco.

Alan Dulles was then Put on the Warren Commission.

Along with Future President Gerald Ford.

OPERATION NORTHWOODS

The CIA was going to fly an unmanned passenger jet via remote control over Cuba and blow it up and Blame the Cuban government.

How do we know this?

In the 1992 Assassination Records Review Board disclosed this document

The Assassination Records Review Board was an independent federal agency created to oversee the identification and release of records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

OPERATION NORTHWOODS was vetoed by Kennedy.

16,000 U.S. military personnel were in Vietnam.

JFK was withdrawing troops when we he was assassinated.

11/22/63 JFK Assassinated

August 1964 in the Gulf of Tonkin

Unseen North Vietnamese “ships attacked” two US ships.

2/21/65 Malcolm X Assassinated

4/4/68 Martin Luther King Assassinated

6/5/68 Robert Kennedy Assassinated

LBJ Leaves office January 20, 1969

Closing thoughts from Roger Stone:

Q: What is the lesson from the murder of John F. Kennedy?

A: Government lies. The government that lies to you about the JFK assassination will lie to you about Benghazi today. It will lie to you about healthcare today. Citizens need to be skeptical about what the government says. Prior to 1963, most people thought the government was trying to help them and tell them the truth
