resurrection song

Often I will wake up with a song on my mind. One of those even today was Resurrection Song by Rend Collective. Very simple song, but this is a powerful message. Read some of the lyrics.

Because You're risen I can rise

Because You're living I'm alive

Because Your cross is powerful

Because You rose invincible

I can get up off the floor

This is my resurrection day

Nothing's gonna hold me in the grave

This is my resurrection day

Nothing's gonna hold me down

Say goodbye to my yesterdays

Ever since I met You I am changed

This is my resurrection day

Nothing's gonna hold me down

Because You rolled my stone away

Because my debt has all been paid

Because You stand in victory

Because You crushed the enemy

I can get up off the floor (get up off the floor)

The good news is the good news

'Cause You chose the rugged cross

The good news is the good news

'Cause You rose up from the dust

Your gospel is the power

That is saving all of us

So, I can get up off the floor

Come on, get up off the floor

Here is what we know.

Jesus did for us what we could not do for ourselves, and what God knows about us changes everything. Our salvation is secure. Our debt was paid, and the good news is that we are forgiven and made new, set free and have victory.

That is the way I choose to live today and forever. How about you?

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....
