it's amazing


I close out the week with a shorter than normal devotion built around a simply phrase that has run through my mind a lot this week.  It’s amazing.  I am referring to the things that I have seen God do this week.

It all started with a young man accepting Jesus last Sunday at church.  We have been praying for him, for Josh, for a good while.  A bit later in the week Josh texted me a message that his children’s mother is close to accepting Jesus as well.  This really is amazing.

Our team, including several volunteers, have been preparing for the arrival of a mission team that will be framing walls at our new campus next week.  I have walked through the building many times.  The word “WOW” has come out of my mouth often.  It really is amazing.  God is making our dreams come true and positioning our church to be able to bless more and more people.

1 Chronicles 16:24  NLT
Publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things he does.

Psalm 111:2  NLT
How amazing are the deeds of the Lord! All who delight in him should ponder them.

Habakkuk 3:2  NLT
I have heard all about you, Lord. I am filled with awe by your amazing works. In this time of our deep need, help us again as you did in years gone by. And in your anger, remember your mercy.

God is doing so much.  It is incredible to see the lives He is changing.  It is one at a time as we count, but it really is all over the world that God is at work.  As followers of God we are to acknowledge what God has done and tell others too.

I am amazed at the way He loves me and others.

I am amazed at the miracles He does.

I am amazed at how God gets the attention of people.

I am amazed at His grace and how He extends it so much.

May God use us to help others know His amazing love and all that the truth God reveals.  By walking closer to our God we will be amazed even more.  What God is doing around us to telling others the same.  It’s amazing!

Acts 4:13  NLT
The members of the council were amazed when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, for they could see that they were ordinary men with no special training in the Scriptures. They also recognized them as men who had been with Jesus.

Thank you for your prayers and support as our church grows and our new campus is prepared for our move their in the future.  If you would like to help with the evening meals or in any other way, let me 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 ...

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....
