success with no regrets :: Friday E-Devotion

I am often floored by the Christians I talk to you that are full of regrets or depressed or feel as if they failed.  We have GOT to get what God's says in our ears, hearts and minds.  That means knowing so great stuff: God loves you, God fills you, God guides and gives success....and so much more.
 
In the past week Craig Groeschel from Lifechurch has written on the idea of success .  Here are the four points that he said are huge points that will help us have less regret and grab the true understanding of success:
 
SPIRITUAL PASSION, INTEGRITY, HUMILITY, STRONG WORK ETHIC
 
Those seem to be stuff that comes with knowing who is in control.  It is God.  No me and not even the church.  It is all about seeing that people hear about and get pointed toward God.  Integrity and humility are tied to the fact that "we need God".  Don't lose that. 
 
What happens when we think we don't need God?  Answer: regrets, failure and so much more.
 
I pray that a sweet look at some old Scripture may give you some real passion to serve God and serve the people He loves...
 
Psalm 139:23-24 (nlt) --- Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.  Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
Matthew 5 (nlt) --- 5 God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth... 8 God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God.  9 God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.

May God give us awesome, unstoppable passion to see people touched for our unending God!  No regrets and God given success...

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
