FAT-MAN How do you respond when a mistake has been made with your fast-food order? If you're 6'3" and weigh 270 pounds, people don't recommend crawling through the drive-through window. But that's exactly what happened when a University of Kansas football player realized a chalupa was left out of his Taco Bell order. He got so angry that he tried to climb through the 14- by 46-inch drive-through window and got stuck. The frightened manager and employees locked themselves in an office and called the police. The police pulled up to the drive-through and laughed hysterically as they discovered the legs and back end of the football player kicking in midair. Police Sergeant George Wheeler said, "When you take a big guy and put him through a small space, something's got to give." How many times have heard of some story like this, where someone is acting stupid and irrational? How many times have we ourselves acted in such a way? Paul told Titus to teach the young men to be self-controlled. How hard it is to keep your cool when someone or something is really tickin' you off. When was the last time you really got out of control because of something that had happen? What was your response to the situation? One of the primary signs that God has control of your life is that you have self-control. Your decisions, ambitions, anger, emotions, thoughts, and desires are all under the control of God so much that even the most difficult situation is under control because you are relying upon God's Word to transform your mind Romans 12:2. Being out of control is being FAT. Our fat mouths, our fat thoughts, our fat actions, are getting us into trouble because we are out of control. And this "FATNESS" shows others who is really in control. Read Gal 2:20...Don't be a "FAT-MAN".
