shaped by the Word

Let it continue to fill your mind and heart. What is it? Thanks for asking.

It is the word of God. A daily diet of time with God and His word changes us. Our thinking and living begin to adjust to how God thinks, and all that is required of us is to follow.

That is why, once again, I point you to some of things I am reading and the overflow of time with God. This is good stuff!

Psalm 115 NLT

1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name goes all the glory for your unfailing love and faithfulness.

9 O Israel, trust the Lord! He is your helper and your shield.

13 He will bless those who fear the Lord, both great and lowly.

Psalm 116 NLT

1 I love the Lord because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy.

7 Let my soul be at rest again, for the Lord has been good to me.

Psalm 117 NLT

1 Praise the Lord, all you nations. Praise him, all you people of the earth. 2 For his unfailing love for us is powerful; the Lord’s faithfulness endures forever.

Psalm 118 NLT

1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.

22 The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone. 23 This is the Lord’s doing, and it is wonderful to see. 24 This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Powerful truth directly from Scripture. My prayer is that we will be shaped by the Word of God as we choose Him! Spend time with God today and every day.

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....
