home from Cuba



It is good to be home from Cuba, and the trip was great. I want to thank all who made the trip possible by giving or sharing resources.  It would not have happened without all the gifts.


I enjoy preaching, but I might be preached out after so many times this past week (I will be ready for Sunday as we celebrate Christmas).  I was blessed to be able to share.  I do want to give a huge shout out to my interpreters who did a great job… Xavier,  Vladimir, Belkie, Liannis.  What an honor to work with these people.


So in today’s devotion I share with you verses from the many sermons I preached the last week…


Proverbs 16:3 NASB 

Commit your works to the Lord, And your plans will be established. 


John 14:1,6 NLT 

““Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.”


Galatians 6:9 NASB 

Let’s not become discouraged in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not become weary. 


Micah 7:8 NASB 

Do not rejoice over me, enemy of mine. Though I fall I will rise; Though I live in darkness, the Lord is a light for me. 


2 John 1:4 NIV 

It has given me great joy to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father commanded us. 


Isaiah 6:8  NLT  

Then I heard the Lord asking, “Whom should I send as a messenger to this people? Who will go for us?” I said, “Here I am. Send me.”



1 Timothy 6:18  NLT  

Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others.


Ephesians 1:18  NLT  

I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.


That is enough fr tonight, and these verses are some of my favorites.  Enjoy.


Have a great Friday, and may God bless you big time.

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....
