awakening // Monday E-Devotion

Back in the land of reality. A week at the beach and a week on mission have left me thirsty for reality and overflowing with some sweet time with Jesus, family and others. Thanks for your patience and continued partnership as we walk with Jesus.

I have found God speaking in almost every place I was the last 17 days. First at the beach in the calm and in the eyes of my children. Next (and at many other times) on the banks of the New River in West Virginia. As the new sermon series DNA comes together, God speaks about the basis and foundation of what we believe. The simplicity of faith and relationship with Him.

Around the corner I would a person who was need of a kind word or prayer and even a great deal of people who are in love with Jesus. Pretty awesome.

The fact is that I have been looking, searching and digging into those realities. Where God spoke, it was awesome and eye opening. When God guided in a fresh way, it was sweet in so many ways.

The song "Awakening" from the band Switchfoot has a great message for where I have been in the last two weeks. It talks about being in a dream world with no where to go until the dreams started to have meaning with great ambition. Literally it was an awakening. My prayer is for the people around me, especially lost people, to find an awakening toward and from God.

Life without God is desperate and meaningless. Life with God is full of meaning and full of purpose. I am excited about my direction and the direction of The Community Fellowship . How about you?

Paul got it right when he said this...

Philippians 3:10 (hcsb) --- My goal is to know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

Join me on a journey in the next few weeks looking at the DNA of what it is to know Jesus.

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....
