Current Reads: Deadly Viper Character Assassins, Catholicism and Fundamentalism, and Going All the Way

Just those I'd throw a blog out there with the books I have on my reading list at this time. And yes, I am readint them all, slowly I might ad. So, here are the books, a little description, a note or link or so. Enjoy....I am!

Our leadership team at The Community Fellowship is reading Deadly Viper Character Assassins which is a great little book about integrity and godliness. Learn more at this website: http://www.deadlyvipers.org/

A buddy of mine gave me this book a couple years ago, and I have just started it. Interesting read with lots of big words and thoughts. I am finding some stuff that I have not thought about.

Craig Groeschel is pastor of Lifechurch.tv and writes a blog called Swerve. The book is about relationships that work. Written for people headed into or out of marriage, or for those trying to make sense of the one they are in. I am considering use this as a tool for pre-marital counseling. By the way, my brother Steve and his family go to life church, and I am look forward to visiting this Christmas.

So, that is what I am reading and carrying around with me these days. I read slow and sometimes have to re-read to get the point, but you know, God has some big stuff for us in some corners of books and on the avenues of life. It is my thought and God's call to live life the best we can.

Lets live it up and get as many people excited about life as we can!

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....
