you know the way


John 14:4,6  NLT

And you know the way to where I am going… Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.


You know the way.


You know the truth.


You know the life.


First of all, those things come from Jesus as He spoke to His disciples.  He is the way.  He is the truth.  He is the life.  It is and was that simple.


Second, you know the right way.  We have learned and been shown so many things throughout our lives.  That means we really do know the truth.


So why is it that we don’t do it?  It happens.  We know the right thing, the right way and what is the truth.  Yet we turn a different direction leaving the place where the blessings are, or the strength will come.


That happens for several different reasons.  The reasons we don’t follow the truth.  It could be because we think we know better or because we want to have a good time.


James 4:17  NASB

So for one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, for him it is sin.


Be careful not to miss the best God has for you.  He is not trying to keep us from having fun.  He is not trying to take away our freedom.


Jesus wanted to guide and bless and protect those that He loves.  That is what He is doing for you and me as well.  Choose the right way and to live in the truth.


It is when we follow the way, the truth and the life that we find real freedom and strength and even more life!


Have a great weekend because you know the way.


John 10:10  NLT

The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.

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....
