Worth It All :: Monday E-Devotion

"And so we keep on praying for you, that our God will make you worthy of
the life to which he called you. And we pray that God, by his power,
will fulfill all your good intentions and faithful deeds." 2
Thessalonians 1:11 (NLT)

Jesus paid the highest price. He died for us. Through His death and
suffering and now His life we are forgiven, accepted by God and given
the responsibility and ability to live for God. Are we worthy of Jesus'
death?

Without Him we are nothing. Without Him we are lost. Yet God said we
are worth Jesus' death.

Is living for Him worth it all? The Christian life is not easy. In
fact sometimes, it is tougher than we ever imagined. So, is it worth
living for Him?

Yes it is worth it all. Why? Jesus gave His life. Why can't we?

Yes it is worth it all. Why? People need to know Jesus. Why can't we
influence them?

Yes it is worth it all. Why? Because God has called us to serve Him by
serving and encouraging others.

Worth it all. It is that. Our investment in Christ lets others know we
mean business with our relationship with Jesus. What are we willing to
give? Maybe, what are we willing to give up?

For you, is it worth it all?

"And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies
to God. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice-the kind he will accept.
When you think of what he has done for you, is this too much to ask?"
Romans 12:1 (NLT)

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you

why is it Good Friday?

  Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation.  We come to Friday.  The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me   Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good?   Jesus was treated as a criminal.  He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him.  His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure.  That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the  Passion of the Christ .   Yet it is a good day.  It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart.  What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me:   He is Redemption and Redeemer   He too our Pain and Punishment   He is our Righteousness and Reality   He is the Savior and Life   All of those happened from the cross.  It was meant for the worst lawbreakers.  It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law.  It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus.   Look

Day 8 in Cuba

We have just come off and incredible weekend, and it is day 8 of the mission trip in Cuba.  Thank you to all who have been praying for this trip, the mission team and the impact it will have on those we serve.   Please don’t stop praying. Last week Alex and I served with a mission team in the mountains of southern Cuba.  There were several challenges, but God gave us safety, provision and opportunity to serve some of the sweetest people I have ever met.  No running water… sporadic electricity generated by a small, logo dammed up river, no transportation other than animals, limited food sources and more.  These people love the Lord and sharing their faith with others. Over the weekend we made our way back to Havana.  On Friday our vehicle broke down leaving us on the side of the road for several hours.  We then boarded a bus and rode 14 hours.  We arrived safely and even got some rest. Sunday was so, so good.  We visited two partner churches.  In the morning we were with one church that
