Let's pray!

Here is a portion of a note I sent some of our church leaders yesterday:

---

Acts 1:14 NLT
They all met together and were constantly united in prayer, along with Mary the mother of Jesus, several other women, and the brothers of Jesus.

That is a powerful verse. It is vital that we get on our knees in private and in public. You (our church) will be called on this Sunday during the invitation to pray and lead our people to pray. We must do this.

The future is so bright. The blessings of God are evident. Our vision is strong and will change lives by God's grace. Yet Satan is working overtime. Therefore we can't and must not move out from under the will and hand of God.

My prayer is that will get so desperate for God in the next four weeks that can't miss God and will never be the same. Then our community will be changed, broken lives will begin to be rebuilt, hundreds of people will find in Jesus and all of this because some God's people chose to pray.

Do you hear my heart? The Community Dream Center is on my heart like never before, yet I'm not willing to move away from God just to do something.

Let's seek God. We must. Lead others to do the same.

----
If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.  But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind.  Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.

It is time to pray and believe that God can and will answer.  He is generous.  He wants to change lives, and God wants to use you and me to help others find God.  This is a time God will use.  Are we prepared to be used by God?  Are you spending time in prayer and allowing God to change you?

Let's time!  It's time to seek and trust God!

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....
