# 5 on the Top 10 List of scripture

Ephesians 3:20 (nlt)
Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

I remember the day that this verse became real to me, and then I back up and watch what God has done throughout my life and see that our God is big and awesome.

He is able. You name it. No matter the size, the distance, how hard the task may seem, God is able to take care of it all. Do we really believe that? Far too many Christians have put God in the proverbial box saying he works this way but not that way. He can do anything. Water to wine at a wedding. A dead person living again. Death bed (or death cross) confession and salvation.

We have to know that God is able. When we believe that and live that, our lives will take on new freedom and creativity. Think about it?

Our minds and lives are tied to the human possible. God is not tied to anything. The only way God is tied by is what we don't allow Him to do in our lives, and He is also tied in our lives by what we don't acknowledge He has done. Get that it. It is huge.

That verse not only tells us that God is able, but it goes on to tell us that we must honor and praise Him in everything we do. Look further in Ephesians 3. go back a few verses. God is able.

That changes our lives and others. That will change our church. And by the way, I am SO EXCITED to tell you that The Community Fellowship as the attitude and understanding that God can do what He wants to us ... the old phrase "We've never done it that way before" won't hold us back. Get a grip 'cause God is able!

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 ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
