Broke Down & Stranded
How did this happen and who can I BLAME?
Charles Spurgeon
in his book writes:
“The nearer a man lives to God, the more intensely has he to
mourn over his own evil heart;
and the more his Master honors him in his service, the
more also does the evil of the flesh vex and tease him day by
day.”
“Morning and Evening”
by Charles Spurgeon
Romans 1:17;
Hebrews 11; Acts
6:8
Keeping Your Tank Clean:
A. Don’t “buy” the
cheap gas!
-
Sometimes you don’t see the
damage until you are miles down the road.
B. Regular
maintenance is required.
-
The longer the trip;
-
The more unfavorable the
conditions;
-
The more significant the
mission;
-
The MORE Critical regular maintenance becomes.
C. REFUELING:
Keep the tank full.
Warning signs: E means empty not extra
Refueling Guide:
Position
yourself at the pump then:
Get
it Cap
it Use it
D. Remember even well
maintained vehicles are subject to unexpected
failures and unavoidable road hazards.
