things to never worry about


Call me a social media junky or whatever you must.  I enjoy the connections on Facebook, the learning and friendships from Twitter and even the ministry contacts via linkedin.  I check each one pretty often.  Sunday evening as I was scrolling through Facebook I came across this picture.  It is simply 5 things that we, as God’s kids, don’t have to worry about.  Profound truth.

We will never be forsaken.  That is God’s promise, and God doesn’t break His promises as we humans do.  He is always with us.

Hebrews 13:5
NLT
Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.”

You are useful to God and always will be.  Your life has purpose.  You have meaning.  It is all based on what God says about you.  No one or no thing can change that fact.

1 Corinthians 12:18-21 NLT
But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where he wants it.  How strange a body would be if it had only one part!  Yes, there are many parts, but only one body.

Our future is totally secure and in God’s hands.  His plan is for your good, your success and for loads and loads of hope.  You are God’s kid. 

Jeremiah 29:11
NLT
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

God wants to hear from you.  We are not bothering God when we pray.  Like a parent loves to hear from their child, God wants to hear from us and often.

1 Peter 5:7
NLT
Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

We have to battle lots of lies, and one of the biggest lies is that we are not forgiven.  That is a lie.  It is time we believe what God says and even tell others.

1 John 1:9
NLT
But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.

These are simple truths that out to help us get through the tough days and help us shout from the tops of the trees on the good days.  God can’t lie.  It is against His character and His nature.  God says we are His, we have the biggest and best hope and that nothing, absolutely nothing can change this truth.

Ask God to help you believe this, claim it and share it.  Praise God for the things we will never have to worry about!

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
