help others know their value

 


We are just a few days ahead from our back2school outreach, and one of the things that we do is to share with students and their families that they have value.  God loves each and every one.  It is an honor to help others grow to know and experience Jesus.


Why do we want to help them grow as well as have a great school year?  think about this … Roots are important.  If roots aren’t getting nourished, the rest of the plant will not get what it needs.  When roots are strong, the rest of the plant will be strong.


Here is just a few thoughts or truths to help us and others grow in Christ and live a life and is successful.


Psalm 46:1  NLT  

God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.


Deuteronomy 31:8  NLT  

Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.”


Trust God.  Let Him be your strength and toil your life with value.  Too many days we allow our situation and circumstances to dictate how we feel and what we do.  Life is meant to be enjoyed and us to be strong.   


James 4:8  NLT  

Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.


Get close to God.  That is where we see God and how He values our lives.  May we give others value.  May we seek God, be an example for others and truly make a difference in the world in which we live.


Again that is just one more reason why back2school matters.  Continue to pray for back2school and choose to be part of this opportunity.  Email your questions or thoughts (emailback2school@gmail.com) and go to www.gob2s.com for more details.

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
