the door


Doors are one of those incredible things that we often notice.  We see people painting the doors on their house many different colors.  In this Christmas season people put a wreath with lights or some other decoration on their doors.


They are the place where you enter.  My prayer is that you and I will find peace at the doors we enter, ours and others.


God also provides doors for us!


Revelation 3:20  NASB

Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.


Literally our God is seeking to enter our lives, and He calls it a door for Him.  Open your life.  Open your home.  Be open to God and His wonder in your life.


1 Corinthians 16:9  NLT

There is a wide-open door for a great work here, although many oppose me.


Paul said there was a door open for him to do lots of kingdom, God kind of work.  The same is true for you and me.  Walk through the doors that God opens for you, and obey the call of God on your life.  Walk through those doors.


Colossians 4:3  NASB

praying at the same time for us as well, that God will open up to us a door for the word, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I have also been imprisoned;


There are doors we want God to open, but ask yourself if they are literally the doors God has provided.  Some we are looking at lead us to places we know we should not be.  Others are ones we avoid yet are the blessings and the direction of God.  Ask God which doors to enter and go in.


Matthew 7:7  NLT

“Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.


You’ve been asking.  Don’t stop.  I love this verse.  Keep on.  He will provide.  He will guide.  He will open the door.


John 10:9  NASB

I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.


But make sure you have entered this door first and foremost.  Know Jesus as Savior.  Know Jesus as friend and guide.  Know Jesus as king and keeper of your life.  Know that you spend time with Jesus on a daily basis.  He is the door.


Go through those right doors this weekend!

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....
