seek the Lord


You have to spend time with someone to get to know them.  Thus, how can we confess to know God when we don’t spent time with Him?  


That truth was rattling through my head and heart this week as I listened to a message from Tony Evans.  Powerful truth that we have to understand because no relationship gains strength without time and effort.  The same is true for our faith and time with God.  Spend time with Him.


We in America confess faith, say we love God and know that church is important, yet we choose often to stay away.  This week we have seen reports from Afghanistan of Christians who are in danger of loosing their lives because they claim faith in God.  This hurts my heart and reminds me that we have it so easy.


Why do I share both of these things?  It is because we do have it easy, but have a great and mighty God who is with us all the time.  Life is meant to be lived with God, guided by God and surround who He is making us who He calls and made us to be.


Seek the Lord.  Watch what God does.


Pray and seek Him often.  Listen close to understand His way.


Pray for those in need, those who want and ask God to come through in the most difficult times.


May we be found by God and others living by faith!


Lamentations 3:25  NASB

The Lord is good to those who await Him, To the person who seeks Him.


Romans 5:1-2 NASB

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we also have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we celebrate in hope of the glory 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....
