Wishy Washy… what a great way to describe people who do not live on a straight line… I can’t stand wishy washy people, they drive me crazy… Now I need to be careful when I talk about wishy washy people because well… Im one of them. And thats where were going today!

Why Does God use wishy washy people?

- Demonstrate his grace

His Grace is amazing saving us as sinners…

But its super amazing in forgiving us in our failures after salvation.

Stephen Glenn - Adopted kids. He adopted a 15 year old boy. He ran the car through the garage. Stephen came home the boy had packed his suitcase, sitting on the bed waiting to be dropped back off at the social workers office…

Stephen said to him: did you not think I knew days like this would happen. The boy doubted him… Stephen went to his study, got a letter out of his desk and had the boy read it. It said “I know you will blow it, But I adopted you because I love you, not because you will be perfect”.

His grace proves his redemption even in our failure and our foolishness.

Jesus restored Peter. - He may discipline but he never abandons us.

- He uses the foolish things to confound the wise.

It was said years ago NASA spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to create a pen that would write in space (no gravity made it almost impossible)

To show off to Russia they sent them a few… Russia returned them and said thanks but no thanks we use pencils.

Later The US sent a drill bit so small it could drill it could drill through the center of a stick pin… they sent it to the Chinese to see if they wanted to order any (and brag) China said, great job, but it tends to overheat so we added a feature to help with that… upon closer inspection they found a hole drilled straight through the center of it.

*You would never Pick Peter to change the world.

You would never pick David to defeat a Giant

You would never pick a stutter’er to be the greatest leader in the Bible

You would never choose a mass murderer to be the greatest evangelist

You would never pick a teenager to lead the NEW Church Plants

**WHAT WOULD YOU “NEVER” BE CALLED TO BE?

The best husband?

The best employee?

The most fulfilled and at peace?

The best marriage?

The best health?

The best soul winner?

The best healer?

The best author?

The best Teacher?
