share your story

1 Corinthians 2:5 NLT
I did this so you would trust not in human wisdom but in the power of God.

God changes lives.  All we can do is follow God.  Let Him lead.  Listen to and follow His voice.  What we will see will point us and others to have more faith in what God alone can and will do.

There is that word again --- FAITH.  We are told in Hebrews 11 that faith is believing the things we cannot see, and we cannot please God without God.  We cannot follow God without faith.  God cannot work in us or through us without faith.  We cannot even see God without the presence of real and active faith in our lives.

This past weekend I was able to be a part of Raceway Ministry work at Martinsville Speedway which is something I love doing.  There were some great conversations about Jesus as I got to interact with fans from all over.  The stories of how God is changing lives are incredible.  I love those stories.  A friend of mine (Matt Knisely) on facebook today said that "stories without storytelling are like facts without faces; they lose their humanity".  That is awesome.

Our faith is validated by our testimony.  By our stories of living and walking with Jesus our faith is seen and heard by others.  Just like the verse I shared above, God is working in the lives of people.  He is more concerned about people than anything else.  Jesus didn't died for buildings and budgets.  He died and tells us to live for people.

Our faith, living faith comes to life as we share the stories of what God is doing in and around our lives.  It is a fact!

This same Good News that came to you is going out all over the world. It is bearing fruit everywhere by changing lives, just as it changed your lives from the day you first heard and understood the truth about God's wonderful grace.

The good news is meant to be shared.  As we share the story about Jesus, we must share our story of how we living with Jesus.  Share your story!

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 ...
