Step It Up...

Many have requested the Stand/Step Up part from my message on Sunday. I can't quite remember where I first heard a version of this. Some female speaker gave me the idea and of course, I tweaked it and "newhope'ized" for Sunday. :-)

Enjoy...

It’s time for Christians to Step Up

• If you see injustice, STAND UP
• If something needs to be said, SPEAK UP
• If you make an appointment, SHOW UP
• If you make a mistake, FESS UP
• If you’re overstepping, BACK UP
• If you get behind, CATCH UP
• If they knock you down, GET UP…and do away with timidity!
• If you’re out of line, STRAIGHTEN UP
• When your boss instructs, KEEP UP
• When the elderly speak, LISTEN UP
• When your preacher preaches, WAKE UP (I threw that one in there for fun ☺)
• When your country calls, MAN UP
• Ladies too... WOMAN UP
• When the fight is over, MAKE UP
• If you’re being hard, EASE UP
• If your heart is closed, OPEN UP
• If you want to buy something, SAVE UP
• It’s not an entitlement, so SHUT UP!
• If you make a mess, CLEAN IT UP
• If you drop trash, PICK IT UP
• If a car is waiting for you to walk cross the street, dagumit SPEED IT UP!
• If you’re cold busted, GIVE IT UP
• If people fall down, HELP THEM UP
• Not the government, YOU STEP UP …and do away with timidity!
• If you have a concern, BRING IT UP
• If idiots start fighting, BREAK IT UP
• If the music is good and wholesome, TURN IT UP
• If the message is poisonous, THROW IT UP
• If your words are vulgar, CLAM IT UP
• If your words encourage, KEEP IT UP
• If your pants are baggy, PULL THEM UP (Pants on the ground – pants on the ground – looking like a fool with your pants on the ground ☺)
• If you’re dressed half naked, COVER IT UP
• If you can’t afford it, PASS IT UP
• No “bailouts” folks, PONY UP
• If you make a promise, BACK IT UP
• When life is good, SOAK IT UP
• When life’s unfair, SUCK IT UP
• When life is sad, just LOOK STRAIGHT UP
• And life’s too short people, so LIVE IT UP!

And Paul would say live it up NOT with timidity, but power, love, and self discipline! (I Timothy 1:7)
