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 ...

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....
