lead like Jesus

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

Who are the people in your life who lead like Jesus?  Maybe it is a friend, or your pastor.  Maybe this is your mom or dad.  Name them and then thank them.

Several years ago I attended a seminar led by some great people who spend a couple days teaching us, all kinds of ministry leaders, how to lead like Jesus did.  Many years before that I had some people who poured much into my life to help me do what Jesus did and to lead like Jesus did.

This week I have been part of the National Fellowship of Raceway Ministries (www.racewayministries.com) winter board meeting and annual membership meeting, and tonight we were able to honor our director for 10 years of service.  Roger Marsh has faithfully led this group of people to impact the lives of race fans across the country at large and small race tracks.  His passion is like Jesus' passion.  His plan often reminds me of what Jesus would do.  His words and heart always point people toward building God's kingdom and not our own kingdom.  Roger does lead like Jesus.

We need to do the same.  Find the people who impact your life and lead like Jesus.  Then thank them for following Jesus and teaching you to do the same.

Remember your leaders who taught you the word of God. Think of all the good that has come from their lives, and follow the example of their faith.

I'm grateful for the people who have come in and out of my life who truly lead like Jesus.  Some of these people were pastors while others were simple people living their lives with purpose. 

When we chose to follow Jesus, life will not always be easy, but at that moment we will lead like Jesus.  That is a calling on each of our lives where we like it or not.

I am grateful for the ministry of Roger Marsh.  His efforts continue to pray off.  His courage inspires others.  His 10 years of service to Raceway Ministries is incredible.  Maybe I will tell you more of the story sometime, but I love raceway ministries.

Find those in your life who lead like Jesus and follow their example of faith!

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

why is it Good Friday?

  Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation.  We come to Friday.  The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me   Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good?   Jesus was treated as a criminal.  He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him.  His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure.  That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the  Passion of the Christ .   Yet it is a good day.  It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart.  What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me:   He is Redemption and Redeemer   He too our Pain and Punishment   He is our Righteousness and Reality   He is the Savior and Life   All of those happened from the cross.  It was meant for the worst lawbreakers.  It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law.  It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus.   Look

Day 8 in Cuba

We have just come off and incredible weekend, and it is day 8 of the mission trip in Cuba.  Thank you to all who have been praying for this trip, the mission team and the impact it will have on those we serve.   Please don’t stop praying. Last week Alex and I served with a mission team in the mountains of southern Cuba.  There were several challenges, but God gave us safety, provision and opportunity to serve some of the sweetest people I have ever met.  No running water… sporadic electricity generated by a small, logo dammed up river, no transportation other than animals, limited food sources and more.  These people love the Lord and sharing their faith with others. Over the weekend we made our way back to Havana.  On Friday our vehicle broke down leaving us on the side of the road for several hours.  We then boarded a bus and rode 14 hours.  We arrived safely and even got some rest. Sunday was so, so good.  We visited two partner churches.  In the morning we were with one church that
