"Angels" by David Jeremiah (a review)

I am fascinated by angels. Here is a work that opens up what God has to share with us about these divine beings. In this book the many scripture references to angels are searched and Dr. Jeremiah clears up the misconceptions that many of us have had. What I have come to understand is that Angels are part of God's plan and work on earth. Angels have many rolls to plan from warriors and protectors to messengers and even fallen angels known as demons.

Where do your thoughts and beliefs about angels come from? Are you simply an on looker who likes to collect little angel figurines to remind you to think about these creators? Or do you have a healthier belief knowing that angels are part of every day life in the spiritual world? Every Christian needs a good understanding of angels.

Here is an easy to understand and vivid picture of angels. Pick up a copy of the book and see for yourself.

Much of what people believe today about angels are based myths. Dr. Jeremiah uses scripture to share the truth about these agents of heaven, and their role and work in our world—and lives.

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....
