John Shibley

My Pastor always said, when harboring resentment or bitterness, “Life’s too short, God’s too good, and the Kingdom’s too important”. Truer words have never been spoken when considering factors that foster peace of mind. How many days have you awakened to find yourself still senselessly tormented by the way someone either betrayed, disappointed, confronted, or antagonized you? Personally, I have wasted too many hours and rented too much mental space to other people who have frustrated me.

John Shibley continues his third week in his series about getting out of the rut! Many men come to a stage of their lives that presents a crossroads and a transition from student to teacher. Some accept and embrace that challenge as a blessing, and some resist and deny that opportunity. Our pride can disqualify us from sharing our wisdom by making us feel like imposters or assuming people will consider us a “know-it-all”. That lie is part of the enemy’s scheme.
