Pastor Steve shares this link to stimulate some Thursday Thoughts…

Self Pity Refresher – On Thursdays I like to send over some thoughts; blogs to consider or Scripture to meditate on. While I couldn’t tell you why – there are ordinarily three “Thursday Thoughts” each week. Today there is only one. The reason? I think you might want to read it three times. There is plenty of challenge here for us all. Eric Davis writes: “Feelings are the golden calf of our day. We worship our feelings and hold them higher than anything, especially truth. This is evident, for example, in that our feelings become the determiner of what is good and bad; the judge of what is right and wrong. If my feelings are hurt, then something must be wrong. If you hurt my feelings, then you are a villain. So, where there is self-pity, there is the idol of feelings. My feelings have been hurt by something. Since I hold feelings as supreme, I become consumed by feeling sorry for myself. So, self-pity’s goal, then, becomes setting my toppled idol of feelings back on its feet. And if you hinder this cause, and do not help it, then you are labeled “unloving.”” You can read the rest HERE. Oh, and then read it again, and again.
