greater days ahead


Don’t stop doing what you made a commitment to so early in the year.  I am not asking if you made some resolutions or promises, but I do ask if you had a desire to do some things that will make you stronger and guide you to be a Jesus follower.


The Bible has become some things to me that reminds me to never stop don’t turn back and keep learning.  Watch how the word of God and some special verses stand out for me and for others.


Ephesians 4:21-24  NLT

Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him, 22 throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. 23 Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. 24 Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.


To go a new direction you have leave the old direction.  God wants to renew us.  He is remaking me each and every day.  


John 1:12  NLT

But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. 


Now it is time to confess and claim the truth.  I am a child of God.  He made that reality happen.  He is who I trust and will continue to trust.  He redeemed me.  Claim it.  Confess it.  Now live it.


Psalms 1:1-2  NLT

Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. 2 But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night.


2022 will be similar to years gone by because I am going to do some of the same things that helped me win in the past.  But I am going to leave other things behind.  I am going to add some things as well.


It is time to keep on winning.  That only happens because I will go with God, move in His direction and know who I am as well how I must stand.


There are great days ahead!

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....
