salvation


Romans 10:1  NLT
Dear brothers and sisters, the longing of my heart and my prayer to God is for the people of Israel to be saved.

In the past week you have noticed that we have talked about our concern for people who do not follow Jesus.  That is a big deal and not only what our current series, Who’s Your One?, is all about.

I spoke with a lady yesterday that asked me not to pray for her.  It was evident in the way she responded to me that her belief in God was minimal.  She wasn’t even able to grasp why I believe in God. Pray for her.

I believe that God longs for people to come to know and follow Him.  We ought to be concerned about those who do now know Him.  Heaven is real and so is hell.  Do we care where people will be spending eternity?

God’s heart longs for people to come to know Him. So should ours.

2 Peter 3:9  NASB
The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

His promises come true.  He is still the savior.  God is the only one who can bring a person to real and abundant life. 

May we be concerned and do something about it. Spend some time asking God who the one person is you should be praying for and sharing with over the next month.  We serve a great and saving God who is concerned about us and others.

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....
