God Can Use Anyone

· Moses stuttered.

· David's armour didn't fit.

· John Mark was rejected by Paul.

· Timothy had ulcers.

· Amos' only training was in the school of fig-tree pruning.

· Jacob was a liar.

· David had an affair.

· Solomon was too rich.

· Abraham was too old.

· David was too young.

· Peter was afraid of death.

· Lazarus was dead.

· John was self-righteous.

· Naomi was a widow.

· Paul was a murderer.

· So was Moses.

· Jonah ran from God.

· Miriam was a gossip.

· Gideon and Thomas both doubted.

· Jeremiah was a bullfrog;

· Just kidding -- he was depressed and suicidal.

· Elijah was burned out.

· Martha was a worry-wart.

· Mary may have been lazy.

· Samson had long hair.

· Noah got drunk, and that's not all.

· Did I mention that Moses had a short fuse?

·

But God doesn't require a job interview.

· He doesn't hire and fire like most bosses,

· because He's more our Dad than our Boss.

· He doesn't look at financial gain or loss.

· He's not prejudiced or partial, not judging, grudging,

· sassy, or brassy, not deaf to our cry, not blind to our need.

A Christian minister once said, "I was never of any use until I found out that God did not intend me to be a great man."

From what I can tell - only 2 Club A members were listing in your post. What about the rest of us?

Hmmm, Yes I think so, the ones He sees He can take the stiffness out of the neck without breaking it.

It's not that he needs any as He could easily do the job better Himself but that man is to help one another to His way which leads to life eternal.

It is by faith in His word that we must receive Him, not from proof of an angel from heaven to lead us or of Himself, if we were not destroyed in His Presence.

So it boils down to the fact man works and God works through men and we must sort out who it is that is of Him. We must become critical sorters!

1Jo 4:4 ¶ Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

· Samson had long hair.

That one does not really fit, cause it was commanded that he have long hair.

Jesus has long hair also.

I like this!

There's a difference between hair that sits on your shoulders and hair that has never been cut since birth.

Who is to say that Jesus has been to a barber.

Indeed God can use anyone. But the more bagage, the less effective that person becomes.

LOL, you are not trying to be a legalist now are you my friend? Nice to "see" you here!

I am thinking that Samson's long hair comment might be related to why and how it got cut off...God can use anyone!! And He certainly used Samson!

When I was a kid; I used to pretend I was Tarzan; then it was Hercules. But when I found out about Samson; I switched to him right away. lol, and I have stayed Samson ever since!

[M. T. Cross]

I don't know OA, Tarzan got Jane and invented extreme sports with the vine swinging and all, Hercules had a really cheezy ( but good) tv series made about him as well as a Disney movie, Samson got betrayed by the girl and then got crushed by the building he was destroying.......

Actually, there is no evidence that Jesus had 'shoulder-length' hair.

Rather, Jesus probably had short-hair as was Jewish custom.

Even though God can use anybody -- He even used a donkey -- that does not mean that we are free to be just anybody. Rather, we ought to be like Christ, being conformed to the image of His likeness.

Samson is pretty cool though, and I don't think Tarzan could pull down a building ;-)

God can use anyone is not to be taken that He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness using anyone that is not walking in the light unless that light is received, believed and acted upon. Righ?

sky,

All people who are walking in the light, are also continuing to confess their sins, and if they say they have no sin in them, they are liars. Does that mean that those who walk in the light, are living after the flesh? No. Rather, those who walk in the light are those who confess their sins to God, and are cleansed from all unrighteousness.

kind regards

It is not important how much Light one has; it is only important what one does with that Light. According to many Bible principles, a little bit is as good as a lot. You only need the size of a mustart seed...God will "finish the work" by using anyone He chooses; even if we say they are not "good enough."
