PROBLEM-SOLVING (1)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Bible Topic
a) To learn what the Bible has to say on a variety of topics affecting our everyday lives, we may find what we are looking for here.
2. Problem-Solving
a) The first principle of problem solving is to get the facts. It's in the Bible, Proverbs 18:13, TLB. "What a shame—yes, how stupid!—to decide before knowing the facts!"
b) The second principle of solving problems is to be open to new ideas. It's in the Bible, Proverbs 18:15, TLB. "The intelligent man is always open to new ideas. In fact, he looks for them."
c) The third principle of problem solving is to hear both sides of the story. It's in the Bible, Proverbs 18:17, TLB. "Any story sounds true until someone tells the other side and sets the record straight."
d) How does God want us to respond to problems? Realize that problems are inevitable and grow as a result of them. It's in the Bible, James 1:2-4, NIV. "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."
e) Problems are confirmation that we are being prepared for heaven. It's in the Bible, II Thessalonians 1:5, TLB. "This is only one example of the fair, just way God does things, for He is using your sufferings to make you ready for His Kingdom."
The End ...
