“You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have a right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you.”

 

A mechanic fixing a harley engine in his shop sees a distinguished heart surgeon walk in and the mechanic calls him over.  “hey Doc, look here, I can tear this engine apart, put in new cylinders, Pistons and having it will work good as new.  So how come  you make more money?”.   The Doctor leaned over to him and whispered in his ear, “trying doing it with the engine running!”  

Garth’s note: everyone thinks they are qualified to give advice, the truth is very few really are.  When you’re a pastor everyone wants to give you advice… but you see your church as a living breathing being (Body of Christ) it’s not a business, it is not some dead entity that mere advice will help. And beyond that I as a pastor have earned the right to speak into my problems and my church. In the same way you must earn the right to speak into other peoples lives. I love how TD Jakes said it.  

Quote:You have earned the right to think, but not to be heard. You have not suffered through the message yet so you will come across arrogant. But if you have slaved, suffered, endured, persevered and come through the other side you have a voice! (TD Jakes)

When I broke my neck I had to wear a halo vest. Its a big plastic body cast from the waist up. Bolts in your head… you kind of look like Frankenstein. I would daily get dozens of questions and hundreds of stairs from people. One week we were driving home from a family reunion in Nebraska… We stopped in a Pizza Hut in the evening… I went over to play Ms. Pac man and felt the presence of a young girl my age standing next to me… I knew right away what she wanted… she would hit me up with questions of what, how when why and what if…. I literally was short of patience and was praying to God I could play the best game of ms. Pacman I could so I wouldn’t have to talk to her. When the game was over I turned to look at her as if to say “I don’t want to answer any questions right now… but I immediately noticed her left arm all shriveled up and pulled in close to her body… 

She had been through the fire… she had earned the right to ask questions and give advice. Maybe you are quick to talk and slow to think and lack the fire to do just that… take time and ask God to give you wisdom… maybe you can’t give advice, but you could give comfort and that might be needed even more.
