follow God


It is a new day.  That means possibilities and opportunities of many different kinds, and it also means that will be people that we meet that need Jesus.  Maybe they need to see an example.  Maybe they need to hear His story.

You might remember a saying that I have heard many times: “what you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say.”

That is a tough truth.  So, I stop today to give you some spiritual thoughts.  That is because of our walk with God, our spiritual life, ought to be changing our words and our walk.  We don’t change so others can we see are godly or good.  We change because God is working in me to make me more like Him.

Take a few minutes to read some verse from Galatians 5.  

Galatians 5  NLT

1 So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.

5 But we who live by the Spirit eagerly wait to receive by faith the righteousness God has promised to us. 

7 You were running the race so well. Who has held you back from following the truth? 

8 It certainly isn’t God, for he is the one who called you to freedom. 

16 So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. 

22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!

24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there.

Powerful truth that transforms our lives.  The change comes as we follow the spirit of God!

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....
