one liners



Read on and enjoy.  Further, I pray God uses these to inspire us to go deeper with Him.

--- It is often in our quietest times with God that He speaks the loudest and our lives change the most.

--- Balance in our Christian lives comes better when we spend time in silence rather in society…

--- God comforts us in times of trouble and beyond.  The reason we have this awesome comfort and strength in our lives is so we comfort others. 

--- The fact is partnerships make me, our church and others much stronger.  Partnerships bring glory to God as we work together and not worry about who gets the credit.

--- we aren’t living the life God wants us to live because we don’t have confidence that God intends for us to have

--- "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." Jim Eliott … Are we willing to give up anything so that others may live?

--- God says keep on asking.  But ask with a plan.  That plan goes well when we are doing what we do to serve others.  The visitor wasn’t asking for food for himself.  His request was for someone else.

--- Prayer often changes the one who is praying.  We could be praying that someone else changes or moves out of our way only to find out that God does what He does best by changing us to be more like Jesus.

--- God deserves our best.  He deserves our heart.  Being generous denotes a life that has made God the center and His work the priority of it all.  I am praying for people who will become a “harvest of generosity in you”.

Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault.

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 ...
