others, others, others

I'm gonna close my day with the E-Devotion talking a little bit about ... you guessed it ... others. But you are not going to be able to argue with me on these points. Tell you why later:

Philippians 2:3 (nasb) --- Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves;

Proverbs 11:25 (nlt) --- The generous will prosper;those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.

Matthew 6:15 (nlt) --- But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.

Matthew 7:12 (nlt) --- Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.

Luke 16:9 (nlt) --- Here's the lesson: Use your worldly resources to benefit others ...

John 12:17 (nlt) --- Many in the crowd had seen Jesus call Lazarus from the tomb, raising him from the dead, and they were telling others about it.

Romans 12:9 (nlt) --- Don't just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good.

Romans 15:2 (nlt) --- We should help others do what is right and build them up in the Lord.

Why can't you argue with me? God said all of those things. By the way, there are many, MANY others. It is time to get off our tails and do what we say we believe we are to do and ...

Philippians 2:4 (nlt) --- Don't look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.

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....
