worthy


Take a few minutes to look at a word.  You can choose any word that would like, but I choose the word “worthy”.  That is because of what it means.


Something that has worth is important.  It has value.  It might have worth based on what it is or based upon what others think about it.


Take some time to visit this word with me.


Psalm 18:3  NLT

I called on the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and he saved me from my enemies.


First, our God is worthy.  He is more valuable than anything else.


Proverbs 12:4  NLT

A worthy wife is a crown for her husband, but a disgraceful woman is like cancer in his bones.


Second, a great wife, or spouse, is a gift, a valuable gift, to us.


Matthew 10:11  NLT

“Whenever you enter a city or village, search for a worthy person and stay in his home until you leave town.


Third, finding someone who serves you or serves with you is of huge value is worthy.


Ephesians 4:1  NLT

Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God.


Fourth, a life lived well, set a part to serve God, is a worthy and important life.


Revelation 5:12  NLT

And they sang in a mighty chorus: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered— to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing.”


Fifth and last, the one given for us, the lamb of God and the one who covers the gap between man and God is worthy, more than we will ever know.


That word is incredible.  It takes us to a new level, and I am grateful for how our awesome God has taught us about being worthy!  May we learn more, may we see our worth, may we know how God is so much more worthy than anyone has said.


God is worthy of our praise and more.

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

why is it Good Friday?

  Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation.  We come to Friday.  The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me   Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good?   Jesus was treated as a criminal.  He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him.  His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure.  That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the  Passion of the Christ .   Yet it is a good day.  It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart.  What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me:   He is Redemption and Redeemer   He too our Pain and Punishment   He is our Righteousness and Reality   He is the Savior and Life   All of those happened from the cross.  It was meant for the worst lawbreakers.  It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law.  It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus.   Look

Day 8 in Cuba

We have just come off and incredible weekend, and it is day 8 of the mission trip in Cuba.  Thank you to all who have been praying for this trip, the mission team and the impact it will have on those we serve.   Please don’t stop praying. Last week Alex and I served with a mission team in the mountains of southern Cuba.  There were several challenges, but God gave us safety, provision and opportunity to serve some of the sweetest people I have ever met.  No running water… sporadic electricity generated by a small, logo dammed up river, no transportation other than animals, limited food sources and more.  These people love the Lord and sharing their faith with others. Over the weekend we made our way back to Havana.  On Friday our vehicle broke down leaving us on the side of the road for several hours.  We then boarded a bus and rode 14 hours.  We arrived safely and even got some rest. Sunday was so, so good.  We visited two partner churches.  In the morning we were with one church that
