more about serving

Yesterday I talked about the art of servanthood and said this … do something for someone who generally does that for you. I mean turn the tables, change the method, think of that person that has done so much in serving you and go serve them.

It is a new way of thinking or living. It is servanthood at its height and best. It was seen in the greatest giving to the least. That is not the “Robin Hood” mentality of taking from the rich to give to the poor. It is simply recognizing those who do for you and doing for them.

Colossians 3:24 NLT

Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ.

Here are some quotes about being a servant:

"What you do has far greater impact than what you say.” - Steven Covey

"Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds will continue in others.” - Rosa Parks

"A life isn't significant except for its impact on others lives.” - Jackie Robinson

Faithful servants never retire. You can retire from your career, but you will never retire from serving God. - Rick Warren

That is just a few. May we be found serving and sharing more often than we serve served!

Proverbs 3:27 NLT

Do not withhold good from those who deserve it when it’s in your power to help them.

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
