I wrote this to try and promote a healthy discussion. These are my views and opinions, but that does not mean that you must agree. If you want to defend your views and beliefs please do, but please do it in such a way that will shine a light on your beliefs and not embarrass them. I struggled with whether I should even upload this video or not, but I prayed about it, and you obviously can see the outcome of that. One World, One Love, One God.
(While I appreciate all the Bible quotes, you must respect my belief to question the absoluteness of quotations that have been translated from their original language and passed down from generation to generation by flawed men. If the Bible is truly God’s word, why are there different versions of the Bible? The original video claims we should be weary of religion because it has been corrupted by man, I am certainly not disagreeing with that aspect of it, just talking that idea even further to encourage reflection. )

PATIENCE by Dr. Harold Sala
Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance. Romans 5:3
Lord Halifax once said, “A man who is master of patience is master of everything else.” Ralph Waldo Emerson put it a little differently, but the thought was the same when he said, “Patience and fortitude conquer all things.” Why is patience such a victor? Perhaps the answer lies in the simple fact that the person who is patient has conquered himself, and the man who conquers himself can conquer anything.
Impatience usually signifies a disoriented person who is trying to do too much, who expects more of others than they are capable of delivering. The impatient person has never mastered himself, let alone his world. There are times when some consider patience to be a display of cowardice, when actually it is wisdom and valor. Historians consider Queen Victoria a very patient monarch. Others considered her weak. They thought she was simply indecisive, but history shows that patience required a great deal more strength of character than impatience.
How patient are you, anyway? Do you think of yourself as very patient, somewhat patient, somewhat impatient‑‑or completely impatient? At times if you stop and consider the whole situation, it will be easier to learn to wait patiently. Think of it like this. What strength of character does it take to quit, or tell somebody off, or throw in the towel, or walk out on your mate? Anyone can blow it. Anyone can walk out, but it requires real strength of character to be patient. It takes time for an oak tree to mature and produce a strong tree, but given a chance, the patient oak can endure the test of time and the storm which destroys other trees.
Have you ever wished for greater patience? Chances are you have. Most of us want greater patience, but few of us are willing to undergo the reconstruction that produces the end result. Writing to the Romans many years ago Paul opened his heart and told them some of the problems that confronted him. Then Paul told them how we learn patience. He said, “Troubles can develop passionate patience in us” (Romans 5:3, The Message). Right there most of us say‑‑”Whoa! Patience we want, but not more trouble.
Have you thought much of Moses? He was a prime example of impatience. He faced a problem and decided to play God. He took matters in his own hands and killed an Egyptian in the process. We do that. We run into difficulty and then decide we have to help God solve the problem. Instead of holding steady, instead of saying, “God, I need your help,” we jump into things and often do more damage than good. We lose our tempers and say words we often regret.
It took Moses 40 years in the desert to learn what patience is about. But we do not have that much time. Chances are you may not even have 40 days. When you reach dead‑end corner have you ever stopped in your tracks and looked to God for His guidance? Have you come in sincerity and asked Him to show you the right path? God will, if you will trust Him. He promised, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path” (Proverbs 3:5‑6).
Peter Marshall once prayed, “Teach us, O Lord, the disciplines of patience, for we find that to wait is often harder than to work. When we wait upon Thee we shall not be ashamed, but shall renew our strength. May we be willing to stop our feverish activities and listen to what Thou hast to say, that our prayers shall not be the sending of night letters but conversations with God. This we ask in Jesus name. Amen.” Tribulation produces patience, and patience is a crowning virtue.

A poem I wrote to highlight the difference between Jesus and false religion. In the scriptures Jesus received the most opposition from the most religious people of his day. At it’s core Jesus’ gospel and the good news of the Cross is in pure opposition to self-righteousness/self-justification. Religion is man centered, Jesus is God-centered. This poem highlights my journey to discover this truth. Religion either ends in pride or despair. Pride because you make a list and can do it and act better than everyone, or despair because you can’t do your own list of rules and feel “not good enough” for God. With Jesus though you have humble confident joy because He represents you, you don’t represent yourself and His sacrifice is perfect putting us in perfect standing with God!

Leadership is important: good leadership can see a group of people achieve great things; poor leadership can alienate support and fail to accomplish the objectives aimed for. There is no better person to learn from about leadership than Jesus and this we do as we continue through John’s Gospel.
