Our Feet in His Hands
-

Oct 25, 2012 10:01 pm
 Today's MP3

"Jesus poured water into a bowl and began to wash the disciples' feet, drying them with the towel wrapped around Him." (John 13:5)

We say, "No!  Don't wash their feet, Jesus.  Tell them to wash Yours!"  Do we object because we don't want to see God washing feet?  Or do we object because we don't want to do the same?

Logic says, "Put up your fists."  Jesus says, "Fill up the basin."
Logic says, "She doesn't deserve it." Jesus says, "You're right, but you don't, either."

I don't understand how God can be so kind to us, but he is.  He kneels before us, takes our dirty feet in his hands, and washes them.  Not from our dirt, but from our sins.  And the cleansing isn't just a gesture; it's a necessity.  We cannot cleanse our own filth.  We cannot remove our own sin.  Our feet must be in His hands.

Would you let him wash your feet today?

America's financial crisis is just a symptom of our larger moral crisis, the result of rampant irresponsibility everywhere.

To Reach the Destination
-

Oct 14, 2012 10:01 pm
 Today's MP3

In order to reach the destination, we have to say no to some requests!  Can you imagine the chaos if a parent honored each request of a child during a trip? Can you imagine the chaos if God indulged each of ours? "No!" is a necessary word to take on a trip!

Scripture says, "For God has not destined us to the terrors of judgment but to the full attainment of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ." (I Thess. 5:9)

Note God's destiny for your life: Salvation. God's overarching desire is that you to reach that destiny. His itinerary includes stops that encourage your journey. He frowns on stops that deter you. When His sovereign plan and your earthly plan collide, a decision must be made. Who's in charge of this journey?

If God must choose between your earthly satisfaction and your heavenly salvation, which do you hope He chooses?

Subject: Listening

The voices of the crowd!  The world rams at your door.  But Jesus taps at your door.  Scripture says, "the sheep listen to His voice."  (John 10:2-4) The mark of a disciple of Jesus is the ability to hear the Master's voice.

Which voice do you hear?  Let me state something important.  There's never a time Jesus is not speaking.  Never a place in which Jesus is not present.  Never a room so dark, that the ever-present, ever-pursuing Jesus is not present.

Leaders learn to say No

No one would turn down an opportunity to minister to thousands of people—right?  Jesus did.  He dismissed the crowd!  Why?

Matthew 14:23 says, "After He had dismissed them, He went up on a mountainside by Himself to pray."

Jesus said no to the important in order to say yes to the vital!  It wasn't a selfish decision.  It was a deliberate choice to honor priorities.

Illinois State Senate Candidate questions Obamacare

She's a former nun, an Army major, a lawyer, a college professor and a physician. Now Dr. Barbara Bellar wants to be a state senator from Illinois, and she has one question about ObamaCare. "What the blank could possibly go wrong?" Bellar asks, tongue in cheek, after delivering a one-sentence indictment of President Obama's health care law.
 
"So, let me get this straight. This is a long sentence," Bellar begins. "We are going to be gifted with a healthcare plan that we are forced to purchase, and fined if we don't, which reportedly covers ten million more people without adding a single new doctor, but provides for sixteen thousand new IRS agents,written by a committee whose chairman doesn't understand it, passed by congress, that didn't read it, but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a president who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief,who didn't pay his taxes, for which we will be taxed for four years before any benifits take effect, by a government which has bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese and financed by a country that is broke. So what the blank could possibly go wrong?"
 
She sounds like she has a lot of common sense to me! I'd vote for her.
 
See the video of Dr. Bellar at the link below:
