give people value

One of the things that I love doing the most is helping people know their God given value. Literally, God values people. It is our job to help others, to build others, to encourage others and in so doing help people know they are valuable.

People matter to God. This has been proven over and over. Our great and gracious God puts the greatest value not on things, not on positions, but on the people that He deeply cares about.

There are a few things that stand out when you believe what God says about people. This is personal. This is unending truth that ought to be shared more and more but the people who are pursuing God.

Help people know their value but valuing, honoring and lifting the people God values.

Give value to the people God values.

Jeremiah 31:3 NLT

Long ago the Lord said to Israel: “I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself.

Give honor to the people God honors.

Romans 12:10 NASB

Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor;

Serve those who God places around us.

Galatians 5:13 NASB

For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

Build what really lasts.

Romans 14:19 NASB

So then we pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another.

Give value to the people you encounter today and every day.

PS - today is our summer Red Cross blood drive at The Community Fellowship. Please come out between noon and 6 to give blood and save lives!

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
