Foot Washing

A friend of mine found this really neat video on YouTube of a foot washing ceremony in the wedding ceremony. So I thought that I would post it here.

How About That!

My husband, Scott, works with Finleyville's assistant fire chief. He told my husband a story of a recent call that Finleyville Fire company had to make. They came to a home where the owner was using an oil lamp because of a power outage from our recent wind storm. Well, he was in the process of refilling this oil lamp when unexpectedly, the lamp ignited! They think that it wasn't completely out. It sent a flash across the room melting the curtains & setting items in the room on fire. Afterwards the fireman returning to the room, making sure everything was out in the room & safe, were stunned at what they found. Everything was quite scorched, but one item. They went over to find a Bible opened on the night stand completely intacked & unburned! The fireman gently picked the Bible up & placed it safely on the main floor for the homeowners. How about that!

Daily Devotional from Bethany World Prayer Center

Jesus called out to them, "Come, be my disciples, and I will show you how to fish for people!" -Mark 1:17

Throughout history God has called His people to follow Him. That divine mandate to leave all and follow Him is the very crux of the Gospels. God does not need decision-makers-He needs hearers. He is looking for those who will hear His voice and respond, following Him even to the uttermost parts of the earth.

Moses did not make his own decisions concerning the building of the tabernacle but "proceeded to do everything as the Lord had commanded him" (Exodus 40:16). In all the travels of the Israelites, they followed the cloud as instructed, never moving unless the cloud moved (v. 36-37). It was not their place to determine when to move or where to go. They were totally dependent on God's guidance.

After He was baptized in the Jordan, "immediately the Holy Spirit compelled Jesus to go into the wilderness" (Mark 1:12). Without questioning or hesitating, Jesus followed the Spirit and went into a most unlikely place. In the same way, many times your mind cannot comprehend the directions of God, but you can be led of Him by your spirit, for you are the temple of the Holy Spirit.

Paul said, "For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God" (Romans 8:14). The cloud of God is no longer above you, but within you! Wait for the "cloud of peace" before moving in any direction. Don't make a hasty decision, but simply purpose from this day forward to follow the Lamb wherever He goes (Revelation 14:4).

Happy Valentine's Day!

God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son...!

Quote from Adrian Rogers

“You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”
