The beginning of "30 Days to Live" [+] Monday E-Devotion

A few weeks ago we videoed some of our Community family giving their testimonies about 30 Days to Live. Yesterday we kicked off the series, and I want to share with you today some scripture to chew on and some thoughts to get our devotions going this week (forgive me for being so late with the devotion today).

Some verses and blips from yesterday's message"

Psalms 39:4-5 (NLT) --- "LORD, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered, and that my life is fleeing away. My life is no longer than the width of my hand. An entire lifetime is just a moment to you; human existence is but a breath."

Start living life now because if you don't, it will be gone.

Psalm 118:24 (NASB) --- This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Enjoy and live today. Not tomorrow or the next day. This is the day God has given us.

James 4:17 (NIV) --- Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.

If God has put a desire, a decision or something on your heart, do it. Don't wait. Don't miss the blessing.

What would you do if you had 30 days to live?

More tomorrow....

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....

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 ...
