who's next?


 

Who is next?  I mean who is the person that God working on.  It might be that God is working on this specific person that they would accept Him as savior.  It might be that God is working in a person that He is calling to a specific ministry to serve in some way.


Because you and I are human and not God we don’t know exactly what God is doing.  Since that is the case we need to understand how we can help people get closer to God as well as to respond to His call in their lives.


Pray.


Romans 10:1  NLT  

Dear brothers and sisters, the longing of my heart and my prayer to God is for the people of Israel to be saved.


Colossians 1:11  NLT  

We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy,


Encourage.


1 Timothy 2:12  NLT  

We pleaded with you, encouraged you, and urged you to live your lives in a way that God would consider worthy. For he called you to share in his Kingdom and glory.


Speak life.


Acts 16:32  NLT  

And they shared the word of the Lord with him and with all who lived in his household.


Live out your faith each day.


2 Thessalonians 1:11  NLT  

So we keep on praying for you, asking our God to enable you to live a life worthy of his call. May he give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do.


Since we don’t know who God is working on or calling, may our lives encourage people to meet and know God as well as pursue Him each day.  Make your life count for more than just getting by.  Help people thrive.

Two weeks from now is my next trip to Cuba, December 7-15.  I will be in Villa Clara, the central region of Cuba, leading a retreat for leaders in the sports ministry.  Will you support this trip with prayer and finances?  If so, please reach out to me at pastormh@gmail.com

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....
