The Christ-Centered Life Walk Worthy Walk Differently

"The Ministry of Silly Walks" is a sketch from the Monty Python comedy troupe's television show Monty Python's Flying Circus, episode 14, which is entitled "Face the Press". The episode first aired in 1970. A shortened version of the sketch was performed for Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl. This sketch involves John Cleese as a bowler hatted civil servant in a fictitious British government ministry responsible for developing Silly Walks through grants. Cleese, throughout the sketch, walks in a variety of silly ways (including one that briefly imitates the scissor gait of spastic diplegia), and it is these various silly walks, more than the dialogue, that has earned the sketch its popularity.

Walk Differently  So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do . . . Ephesians 4:17

Walk Differently  So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do . . . in the futility of their thinking. They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them . . . Ephesians 4:17-18

Walk Differently  …separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them . . . due to the hardening of their hearts.   Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more. Ephesians 4: 18-19

WILL MIND BEHAVIOR Hardened Heart Dark Mind/ Ignorance Callous Sensual Greedy for more BEHAVIOR

Walk Differently   You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. Ephesians 4: 18-19

Walk Differently You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

Take a Step 1. What have I done today that only a Christian would do? ASK 1. What have I done today that only a Christian would do? 2. If strangers were to view my life for a day, what would they conclude about me? . . . my priorities? . . . my faith? 3. Are there habits, activities or attitudes that I need to “take off?” Take a Step Because of God’s great love for us, Christ came and paid our debt and made us His child. We are bought with a price – His death. We belong to Him.

Take a Step ACT 1. Today, I decide to “take off” _______________. 2. Today, I will look at my choices and actions with a new mind. 3.

You are not your own, you are bought with a price. Therefore, glorify God with your body” (1 Cor. 6:19-20).
