I Did It My Way (2 of 4)
Series: Lies People Believe
Jeff Strite
Proverbs 3:5-10
Back in 2010 there’s the true story of a British man named Shawn Murtagh who decided to wear a Halloween costume. To complete the costume he had a sequined top hat he wanted to wear at an angle on his head. But it wouldn’t quite stay on, so instead of attaching the hat to his head with a string, he decided to glue it on. He tried fabric glue. That didn’t work, so then he used ... Super Glue.
The Good news was: the hat stayed on.
The Bad news was: It wouldn’t come off.
He tried using soap and warm water, but that didn’t work. So he went to the emergency room, and the ER doctor told him ‘‘Super Glue is actually quite strong. If I rip the hat off, it will tear your scalp and could lead to an infection.’’
So the nurse cut the hat off with scissors. She told reporters, ‘‘I cut off the top of the hat, leaving only the brim, so he won’t look like that much of an idiot.’’ The brim finally came off, but only after he soaked head in warm water for 12 hours.
There is a way that seems right unto a man... but the end thereof can be pretty embarrassing. Especially if you use Super Glue.
But, when it comes to the more serious decisions of life, if we insist on doing things OUR way, it can get real dangerous... real quick. The actual quote from Proverbs 14:12 says ‘‘There is a way that seems right unto a man, but the end thereof is the way of death’’
The sermon series we’re preaching this month deals with ‘‘Lies That People Believe.’’ And the lie we’re looking at today is ... ‘‘I Did It My Way.’’
Now, you might recognize those words from a song written back in the 60’s by Paul Anka and made popular by Frank Sinatra. It’s a powerful song, and it starts out with the singer talking about the difficulties of life. At one point, you hear these words:
‘‘Regrets, I’ve had a few; but then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption.
