Title: Get off the Guilt Trip
Scripture: Zechariah 3:1-7
Author: James Merritt
Introduction
1. What Is the Worst Trip You Have Ever Taken in Your Life? Mine Is Very Easy to Remember. Our Three Sons Were Still Pretty Small and We Were Looking Forward to a Week’s Vacation Down in Panama City Beach. A Very Generous Church Member Had Given Us His Condo on the Beach, to Use for a Week, Absolutely Free. We Went to Visit Another Church the Sunday Before We Left and the Pastor’s Wife Hugged Teresa. Unbeknownst to Teresa She Had a Very Contagious Virus.
2. By the Time We Got Down to the Beach, Teresa Was Deathly Sick and She Stayed Sick All Week Long. She Never Left the Condo and Guess Who Was Left to Watch After Three Small Boys? Me! I Am Not Saying It Was Hard and Difficult, but It Did Make Me Understand Why Some Animals Eat Their Young. It Was either Go Out to the Pool and Try to Keep Watch on Three Rambunctious Boys, Referee Fights, Get Them Ice Cream When They Needed It, and Take Them to the Restroom or Take Them to the Beach When either One or Two of Them Didn’t Want to Go. They Wanted to Stay at the Pool, but the Other One Wanted to Go to the Beach So if One Went They All Went. Or, We Could All Go Back to the Room to See Poor, Miserable Mom Sick to Her Stomach and Not Wanting to Do Anything. The Greatest Joy of My Life Was Getting Back Home. It Was a Horrific Trip.
3. I Have Been on One Trip More Than I Care to Admit. It Is the Worst Trip I Have Ever Taken and It Is the Worst Trip Anybody Can Take. In Fact, No One Really Plans to Take This Trip and Once You Are on It, You Want to End It as Soon as Possible. It Is Called “The Guilt Trip.”
4. It Never Ceases to Amaze Me to See How Many People That You Wouldn’t Know It Unless They Told You Are on This Trip. They either for Some Reason Stay in the Same Trip or Get Out of It Just to Go on Another One. What You Learn About the Guilt Trip Is if You Don’t Exit the Trip, It Becomes a Guilt ...
