all for His glory


Proverbs 19:21  NLT
You can make many plans, but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.

What really has hold of your heart?  You and I can answer that in many different ways, but it is the answer of the people who watch our lives that often tells the real story.  No, I am not saying that you would lie or that we would twist what we believe.

It is evident that what has our heart is where we lean, where we spend money and where most of our time is spent.  Take a survey, a personal one.  Be honest.  Where are you spending the most money?  Where are you spending the greatest amount of your time?

When we don’t push against God but work with Him, we will get more done.  We will bless more people and make a greater impact on the world and the people around us.

Oppose God or go away from God and we will miss some of the greatest possibilities that may be in our path.  That path has been built by our God for our good and uses the gifts and abilities that we have been given.

What is the reason we should seek God?  Is it because we want to have an easier life?  That is not the way it works.  Yet the fact or the reason we should seek God and obey what He says would be so God gets the most glory.  That really is the plan behind it all.

Ecclesiastes 3:14  NLT
And I know that whatever God does is final. Nothing can be added to it or taken from it. God’s purpose is that people should fear him.

May our lives, our choices and what holds our heart be a spotlight on our God so that many people will come to love Him and know they are loved by Him!

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....
