what do you believe?

 


What we believe about God is important.  In fact this reality is one that is part of who I am, and I pray it is true about you.  That is that we believe God is and He is able and He has all things in His hands.


1 Thessalonians 2:13  NLT  

Therefore, we never stop thanking God that when you received his message from us, you didn’t think of our words as mere human ideas. You accepted what we said as the very word of God—which, of course, it is. And this word continues to work in you who believe.


I want to share a song with you that has grabbed my attention.  The song sums up the issue of believing who God is.


Too Good Not to Believe

by Brandon Lake and Cody Carnes


I've lived stories that have proved Your faithfulness

I've seen miracles my mind can't comprehend

And there is beauty in what I can't understand

Jesus, it's You, Jesus, it's You


I believe

You're the wonder-working God

All the miracles I've seen

Too good to not believe

You're the wonder-working God

And You heal because You love

Oh, the miracles we'll see

You're too good to not believe…


And I can't resurrect a man with my own hands

But just the mention of Your name can raise the dead (yeah)

All the glory to the only One who can

Jesus, it's You, Jesus, it's You (come on)


After everything I've seen 

You're too good to not believe… 


We've seen cancer disappear

We've seen broken bodies healed

Don't you tell me He can't do it


We've seen real life resurrection

We've seen mental health restored

Don't you tell me He can't do it


We've seen families reunited

We've seen prodigals return (come home)

Don't you tell me He can't do it 


We've seen troubled souls delivered

We've seen addicts finally freed (finally freed)

Don't you tell me He can't do it


We'll see cities in revival

Salvation flood the streets (come on)

Don't you tell me He can't do it


We'll see glory fill the nations

Like the world has never seen

Don't you tell me He can't do it


'Cause I know that He can

Yes, I believe (I believe)

You're the wonder-working God… 


You're the same yesterday, today and forever (too good to not believe)

You can do anything Jesus, You can do anything (I believe, I believe, yeah)

Hallelujah, wonder-working God

Wonder-working God

Don't you ever stop believing

'Cause He's so, so good

So, so good


Go and find the song.  Go and search the Scripture.  Choose to believe.  It will change your life!

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....

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 ...
