how we walk


Ephesians 5:15  NASB

So then, be careful how you walk, not as unwise people but as wise,


Far too often we miss the truth of what wisdom does.  Notice one of the major words and actions of the verse above.  Don’t miss it.


Be careful.


It is something you have to choose, to watch for, to make a conscious effort to do.  Be careful to do right, to go the correct direction and to know what is ahead and around.


Wisdom over foolishness.  Not like those who are unwise.  Look before you cross.  Listen with your ears and eyes.  I think you get it.


Ephesians 4:1  NASB

Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called,


Then walk in a way that honors God and your calling from God.  He has set us up for good living and goodness.  His call gives us significance like nothing else can.  Take some time to choose wisely, not unwise.


Proverbs 2:7  NLT

He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest. He is a shield to those who walk with integrity.


Walk with integrity.


Proverbs 13:20  NLT

Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble.


Walk with the wise people, not with those who get you in trouble.


Proverbs 22:5  NLT

Corrupt people walk a thorny, treacherous road; whoever values life will avoid it.


Walk like you value life.


And that is just a few.  Keep walking, and walk the right way!

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
