What picture could most accurately illustrate bad communication?

Maybe this picture?


How's this picture?


What about this picture?


Anyway, you get the picture. Bad communication starts out small and can build up very quickly, enough to where it becomes out of control and hard to fix.

 

scripture

 

Matthew 5:25

Jesus said, “Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison”.

Ephesians 4:26-27

“In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.

thoughts (continued)

 

Communication isn't easy. No one is necessarily good at it. It takes practice and hard work.

scripture

 

1 Chronicles 16: 23-27

Sing to the LORD, all the earth; proclaim his salvation day after day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples. For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the LORD made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and joy in his dwelling place.

Johnny the Baptizer

 

 

Matt. 18:4-5

Jesus said, “Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me.”

 

Johnny's mother looked out the window and noticed him 'playing church' with their cat. He had the cat sitting quietly and he was preaching to it.

She smiled and went about her work.

 

A while later she heard loud meowing and hissing and ran back to the open window to see Johnny baptizing the cat in a tub of water.

She called out, 'Johnny, stop that! The cat is afraid of water!'

 

Johnny looked up at her and said,

'He should have thought about that before he joined my church.'
