what does that make me?


One of my favorite bands and worship leaders is David Crowder.  I have gravitated to his music several times over the last 5 years or so.  Simply and incredible songs that lead me and others to see, experience and worship our awesome God!

Last evening as I was mowing and listening to music one of Crowder’s songs  I was overcome with one line… “what does that make me?”  Incredible thought that I want to share with you today.

Here are some of the lyrics to David Crowder’s song “Everything Glorious”:

The day is brighter here with You
The night is lighter than its hue
Would lead me to believe
Which leads me to believe

You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
Yeah, You make everything glorious
And I am Yours,
What does that make me?

Yes, our God makes everything, and everything He makes is glorious and special.  That means you and I are the same as the other things our great God created.  We are glorious.

We are glorious based on the creation and grace of God.  It is not based on the anything we have done or anything that we are on our own a part from God.  How awesome it is to know that the creator of the universes sees us and knows us to be glorious?  That is how he made us.

When we see ourselves based on facts like this, our lives will home a much different outcome.  That is when we live in abundance.  That is when we life with strength as only God can.

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.

John 1:12  NLT
But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.

On the playground when we were young there were lots of things said that were very hard.  Something like, “I know you are but what am I?”  Another might be, “what does that make me?”

Kids can be cruel.  Humans can be cruel.  But our God is awesome.  He believes in us.  He made us glorious.  It is our opportunity to live that truth out.  God is good!

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
