the big "mo" // Wednesday E-Devotion

momentum: In physics, the property or tendency of a moving object to continue moving. For an object moving in a line, the momentum is the mass of the object multiplied by its velocity (linear momentum); thus, a slowly moving, very massive body and a rapidly moving, light body can have the same momentum. (See Newton's laws of motion.) 
 
Ok.  This is not a physics lesson at all.  What it is is a commentary on what makes Christians do what they are supposed to do and how we see God working.  Does that make sense?
 
This past weekend The Community Fellowship celebrated our 1st anniversary with a huge tailgate party.  It was awesome.  Lots of people.  Great food.  Good worship and more.  Many of our people returned our "what say you" survey, and the results were right on.
 
Philippians 3:14  (nlt) --- I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.
 
Luke 19:6  (nlt) --- Zacchaeus quickly climbed down and took Jesus to his house in great excitement and joy.
 
Momentum is what drives you forward.  In racing is the impact of the wreck because of the rate of the speed the car was going.  It is also the rate at which people get excited and become part of something that is moving on.  The church is moving forward in big ways.  It is the big "mo" that we need to understand and see.
 
It is kind of like riding a wave (even though I have never surfed anything other than TV or the Internet).  God has pressed us forward, given us great blessings, and the momentum is real and making a huge impact on us and our community.
 
Will you join the big "mo"?  We are rolling on with gusto.  We are riding and having a ball.  We are following God and all the God-sized stuff He is doing.
 
The results of the survey I spoke of tell us that people are getting it.  They are getting what God has given, what we have talked about and what we are doing.  The vision is being caught and passed on.  Momentum continues to build.  It is awesome.
 
Colossians 3:2  (nlt) --- Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth.
 
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.
 
Being part of what God is doing is like nothing else in all the world.  Don't miss it.  This Sunday we are going to talk much about the big "mo" and what God has placed in front of us!

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
