are you listening?


 

Hearing is very important.  If there is something wrong with your ears, your hearing or even your understanding, you might miss the most important things God has for you.  It is important to listen.


Understand this … God gave you eyes and ears.  Use them!  Listen to what God has to say, how He guides and the wisdom that will change our lives.  Seeing and hearing God is a gift to us.


Proverbs 20:12  NLT  

Ears to hear and eyes to see— both are gifts from the Lord.


If we listen, we will be wise.  That seems very simple.  It is.  Hear His voice.  Hear His wisdom.  Respond to what you heard and keep on listening.  It might just change your life or save your life.


But do not stop thee.  Listening is essential to growing in the Lord.  God is always speaking, but we are not always listening.


Proverbs 8:1  NLT  

Listen as Wisdom calls out! Hear as understanding raises her voice!


To hear means we have an opportunity.  To apply what we hear will change so many things including the things that seem to trip us up or hurt us the most.  Are you daily listening to what God is saying?


There is more to being a christian than going to church, reading the Bible and saying that you belong to Him.  Responding to His voice and what you hear from God is the place to start.  It is also the door that opens the blessings of your life.


John 10:27  NLT  

My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.


Are you listening and responding to God?  His voice will lead you in the right and best direction!

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

why is it Good Friday?

  Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation.  We come to Friday.  The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me   Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good?   Jesus was treated as a criminal.  He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him.  His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure.  That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the  Passion of the Christ .   Yet it is a good day.  It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart.  What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me:   He is Redemption and Redeemer   He too our Pain and Punishment   He is our Righteousness and Reality   He is the Savior and Life   All of those happened from the cross.  It was meant for the worst lawbreakers.  It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law.  It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus.   Look

Day 8 in Cuba

We have just come off and incredible weekend, and it is day 8 of the mission trip in Cuba.  Thank you to all who have been praying for this trip, the mission team and the impact it will have on those we serve.   Please don’t stop praying. Last week Alex and I served with a mission team in the mountains of southern Cuba.  There were several challenges, but God gave us safety, provision and opportunity to serve some of the sweetest people I have ever met.  No running water… sporadic electricity generated by a small, logo dammed up river, no transportation other than animals, limited food sources and more.  These people love the Lord and sharing their faith with others. Over the weekend we made our way back to Havana.  On Friday our vehicle broke down leaving us on the side of the road for several hours.  We then boarded a bus and rode 14 hours.  We arrived safely and even got some rest. Sunday was so, so good.  We visited two partner churches.  In the morning we were with one church that
