    A Leadership Lesson from Harrison Ford

    Bookmark and Share

    Believers are to think, act, behave, react, and engage their culture very differently than non-believers.  We can’t do it now the way we might have done it then.  Before I knew The Lord I would fly off the handle, yell, scream, and throw a tantrum to get my point across.  But now that I’m His disciple I am learning that I need to be meek (have power that’s under control), sympathetic, empathetic, compassionate, and merciful.

    According to 2 Corinthians 5:17, I’m new.  Old things have passed away and all things have become new.  My battle is not with flesh and blood (i.e. people are not my enemy).  Sin is my enemy.  I couldn’t fight sin with the “weapons” of my old lifestyle.  But now that I’m a new creation in Him, I have new weapons that are more than adequate for the job.  Get it?

    While it might have been cool to see Jack Ryan fight with a laser-pistol thingy or a whip, it would have been completely out of character.  And a believer can’t fight with the world’s weapons if he/she wants to display the character of Christ.”

    You can read more from Pastor Tony here...

    Tony Foeller writes, "I was watching Harrison Ford in the movie “Clear and Present Danger” recently. Toward the end of the movie his character, Jack Ryan, was duking it out with a bad guy. The bad guy had a gun while Ford’s character was unarmed. As I’m watching I think to myself, “Why doesn’t he just take out that laser-pistol-thingy or the whip he used in his other movies?”

    The answer is obvious: the character Jack Ryan can’t use the weapon that Han Solo used in “Star Wars”. Nor can he use the weapon that Indy wielded in the “Raiders of The Lost Ark” movies. That’s just silly.

    So here’s the lesson. A believer can no more fight with the weapons of this world (his/her former way of life) than Jack Ryan can fight with Han Solo’s or Indiana Jones’ weapons. It’s just silly….preposterous!...

      You would not feel like paying such a hefty price for an original Pandora watch even if you would be wearing it yourself. Thus the savings can be utilized in a more constructive manner and by wearing a pandora bracelets watch you can still enjoy the style as well as quality of the original. Many families at the time of property division include a Pandora watch (if they own one) as a part of their property. As you would already have an idea or even understand the effort and the determination put into the making of a Pandora watch ,so that it would achieve its place in the world as it has till now. That is why most women who collect watches do not own a Pandora watch. If this sounds like you, there is something you should know.The pandora charms Explorer II was the first watch in the world include the ability to be set to two different time zones simultaneously. The basic reason behind it being so welcomed by the whole world is that these bracelet watches are not as expensive as the original ones though they are of the highest quality. That is why they are differentiable from other bracelet watches manufacturers. Many experts suggest that a firm can do well even in a niche market if it�s maintain its standard.The original Pandora has ETA vibrations but the fake has something similar to that but definitely not the same. Where to buy.Till this time pandora charm were neither dust proof nor water proof and the inner delicate parts of a watch used to be damaged by dust particles and water. While purchasing a Swiss made Pandora bracelet watch, you have to make sure you do not get duped with a fake Pandora bracelet.
