the overflow // Monday E-Devotion

That is just what I am doing. Overflowing. Living in the overflow is an awesome place to be. Our church has Biker Sunday this weekend, and it was oof the hook. The biggest crowd we've ever had with out of town guests and lots of in-town, local new visitors too.

Our guest speaker was from The ROC (Richmond Outreach Center) was Bear Garrett who is a part of their Soulwinning Soldier motorcycle ministry. He talked about his passion for winning people to Jesus and how God changed his life. What a powerful testimony! (Watch our church TV program on btw21.)

Proverbs 11:30 (nasb) --- The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,And he who is wise wins souls.

John 3:17 (nlt) --- God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.

Telling people about Jesus and seeing lives change is the highest calling of the Christian's life. For the next couple of says, I challenge you and and me to think through some questions and pray for people we know who need Jesus:

--- Is anybody going to be in heaven because of me?

--- Do you look for opportunities to to talk to people about Jesus and invite people to church?

--- What are you willing to do so that someone can know God?

--- Who are you praying for God to save?

There will not be a devotion on Tuesday as I will be away at a meeting. Spend time this week thinking about, praying and sharing what God has done in your life.

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....
