THE PROBLEM WITH PROBLEMS
NEHEMIAH 4: 10-23
JANUARY 7, 1996 A.M. SERVICE
INTRODUCTION
A. YOU KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE A BAD YEAR WHEN:
1. THE GOVERNMENT NOTIFIES YOU THAT YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY
NUMBER HAS BEEN REVOKED.
2. YOUR PERSONAL COMPUTER THREATENS TO TELL ALL.
3. AS THE MOVING VAN STARTS TO UNLOAD NEXT DOOR, THE FIRST
FOUR ITEMS DOWN THE RAMP ARE DIRT BIKES.
4. YOU NEW BOSS ASKS IF THEY'VE FILLED YOUR OLD POSITION YET.
5. YOUR PACEMAKER IS RECALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
B. IT'S A NEW YEAR: ONE THINGS FOR SURE. IT WILL NOT BE PROBLEM
FREE.
1. PROBLEMS ARE A REAL PART OF REAL LIFE. UNLIKE THE TV
PROGRAMS WE WATCH ALL OF THEM CAN'T BE SOLVED IN 30
MINUTES EITHER.
2. A GROUP OF PSYCHIATRISTS MET TOGETHER IN BUFFALO TO
DEFINE LIFE. AFTER A WEEK OF DISCUSSION, THEIR DEFINITION
OF LIFE WAS . . . "LIFE IS STRESS AND YOU'D BETTER LIKE IT."
C. TODAY'S MESSAGE IS DESIGNED TO HELP EACH OF US DEALS WITH THE
PROBLEMS THAT WILL ARISE IN THE MANY AREAS OF OUR LIVES THIS
YEAR.
ILL. FIRST, THINK OF ALL THE AREAS OF YOUR LIFE WHERE THINGS COULD
GO WRONG DURING THE NEXT 365 DAYS. EXCUSE ME! 366, THIS IS A
LEAP YEAR. (ONE MORE DAY FOR PROBLEMS TO OCCUR!)
I. THE PROBLEM WITH PROBLEMS. VS. 10-11.
PEOPLE SURROUNDED BY PROBLEMS HAVE A TENDENCY TO:
A. LOSE THEIR STRENGTH. "THE STRENGTH OF THE BURDEN BEARERS IS
FAILING . . . "
1. THE TENDENCY IS TO LOSE STRENGTH: PHYSICALLY,
EMOTIONALLY, AND SPIRITUALLY.
2. PEOPLE SURROUNDED BY PROBLEMS BECOME VULNERABLE.
3. MOUNTING PROBLEMS LEAD TO STRESS THAT LEADS TO FATIGUE.
