bold about who ya serve // Monday E-Devotion

Tony Morgan mentioned something on his blog today was awesome.  He was coming out of a corporate office and saw their goal.  It was Scripture, word for word.
 
Here is Oebe's corporate goal:
 
COLOSSIANS 4:5-6 (nasb) --- Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward others, making the most of the opportunity. Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.
 
Plastered on the outside of their building.  Visible on their website.  For all to see.  This company doesn't hold anything back about what they believe.  What do you think about that.
 
I think some of us have joined a secret society we'd like to call church.  We go there, when we can, talk about it to the society members and maybe a few others, and that is it.  Most people wouldn't know I am with Jesus.  Do you get the point?
 
You got to be bold about who ya serve.  Do people know you are with Jesus?  I am not talking about getting you a soap box and heading out to the corner with your big ol Bible and preaching.  I am talking living out loud.  Steven Curtis Chapman in his song " Live Out Loud" said "and if God's love is burning  in our hearts, we're gonna glow.  There's just no way to keep it in."
 
Plain and simple.  It is time to be bold about who ya serve.  Yeah, Jesus died a horrible death so we can have real and meaningful life.  By the way, you know people who need Jesus.  But do those people know that you have meaning?
 
Colossians 4:5-6 (nlt) --- Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity.  Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone.
 
Matthew 5:16 (nlt) --- In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.

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....
