live like life it is all about Jesus

Just a simple thought today.
Our Adversary majors in 3 things:noise,hurry & crowds. If he can keep us engaged in "muchness" & "manyness," he'll rest satisfied. --- Richard Foster

In our LOVE MORE ... EXPECT LESS. series I asked our people yesterday to think about their funeral.  Will people at your funeral know that you have prepared for that day?  Most people, including Christians, are not living life like it is all about Jesus.  We live like it is all about us.

If we were to unwrap the Christmas gift God has for us, we will not find ourselves inside the gift.  Jesus is the gift, and He is what this season and life is all about.

Let's live like it is all about Jesus.

James 4:14 (nlt) --- How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it's here a little while, then it's gone.

We talked about the shepherds and the wisemen who went to visit Jesus.  Their time with Jesus began with and ended with worship.  Shouldn't our celebration be the same.

Matthew 2:11 (nasb) --- After coming into the house they saw the Child with Mary His mother; and they fell to the ground and worshiped Him. Then, opening their treasures, they presented to Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

The wisemen worshipped, gave and were in awe of God.

Luke 2:20 (nasb) --- The shepherds went back, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen, just as had been told them.

The shepherds were overcome with everything.  It made them worship.

It's all about Jesus.  Let's worship Him and live life is all about Jesus!

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 ...
