quotes


There are many quotes that I have heard through the years that have stuck in my mind.  Many of those have made me stop and think. Some even made me make some drastic changes.

Bible verses have had and continue to have the same impact on me.  I have shared many of those with you in the past here through e-devotions.  Let me take a little different path.

Here are some quotes from presidents of our nation who have talked about their faith.  Just wanted to draw attention to a few of these.

“If we ever forget that we are one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.” Ronald Reagan

“We asked for God’s help; and now, in this shining outcome, in this magnificent triumph of good over evil, we should thank God.”  George H. W. Bush

“It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible.”  George Washington

"A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education." Theodore Roosevelt

“I can see how it might be possible for a man to look down upon the earth and be an atheist, but I cannot conceive how a man could look up into the heavens and say there is no God.”  Abraham Lincoln

“Hold fast to the Bible. To the influence of this Book we are indebted for all the progress made in true civilization and to this we must look as our guide in the future.”  Ulysses S. Grant

“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.”  Theodore Roosevelt

“Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, leave the rest to God.” Ronald Reagan

That is just a few quotes from men who gave their lives in service to our nation.  They thought about faith as we should.  Speak up as they did.  Share your convictions as all need to.  

Colossians 2:7  NLT
Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.

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....
