the incredible grace of God

Then the name of our Lord Jesus will be honored because of the way you live, and you will be honored along with him. This is all made possible because of the grace of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ.

Are you ever overcome by or touched by something? Maybe it is the sunrise or the sunset that grabs your attention. Maybe it is something that one of your children does or says that leaves you speechless. There are many things that happen in our lives that make us stop and appreciate them.

It is the grace of God and how God works in the lives of people that often overcomes me. Yesterday I heard a story about a lady that had a horrible past and how God confirmed that He would never hold it against her because she was completely forgiven. Another story I heard was a great blessing on a church that was seeking God to take their ministry to the next level. God rewarded their faithfulness.

God desires to work in your life and mine. As we acknowledge His grace we will see more and more of His grace. Once again, the way we live by faith and share God’s grace the more people will come to know God and His grace.

Think about God’s incredible grace!

“Without a heart transformed by the grace of Christ, we just continue to manage external and internal darkness.” ― Matt Chandler, The Explicit Gospel

“It may not be an easy thing to live in sweet fellowship with all those with whom we come in contact; but that is what the grace of God is given to us for.” ― D.L. Moody

“Spiritual disciplines can do nothing. They can only get us to the place where something can be done.” ― Richard J. Foster, Celebration of Discipline

“The meaning of life. The wasted years of life. The poor choices of life. God answers the mess of life with one word: 'grace.'” – Max Lucado

"Grace means undeserved kindness. It is the gift of God to man the moment he sees he is unworthy of God's favor." – Dwight L. Moody

"And you know, when you've experienced grace and you feel like you've been forgiven, you're a lot more forgiving of other people. You're a lot more gracious to others." – Rick Warren

May we be overcome time and again with the incredible, unending grace of God. Be known as the recipient and the giver.

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....
