What a refreshing change in the atmosphere you could bring to the place where you live. http://truewoman.com/?id=993 2010-09-08T14:11:15-05:00 If we look closely at Jesus' life, we find an interesting pattern. We know that Jesus spent His time on earth serving others. But have you ever considered how often He ministered when it was inconvenient? http://truewoman.com/?id=1206 2010-08-31T16:32:51-05:00 People may not be impressed by the things you say “no” to. But as you kindly, compassionately, humbly love and serve them, they'll find themselves being drawn to the Christ they see in you! http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/the-highest-title-on-earth-2685 2009-09-11T16:25:34-05:00 When we sacrifice our own comfort, our own needs, our own pride for others, we are remembering who we are. It's easy to forget that - when your life is so full and you become self-focused just to get it all done - or to get your needs met. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Eph.6.6-Eph.6.8&version=NIV 2009-07-16T15:22:21-05:00 Christians are called to service, but it must be service done out of a love for God. Acts of service done to gain praise from others are not what the Lord wants from his followers. Our reward for service comes from God, not from men. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matt.23.11&version=NIV 2009-07-14T09:47:09-05:00 Jesus had a way of up-ending accepted social patterns and assumptions. Here, in a passage that brings to mind the phrase "the last shall be first," he claims that the great will one day serve the lowly. It's a reminder that humble service is at the heart of the Christian life, and the mark of a true servant of Christ. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/What-Makes-the-Marathon-Worth-It-8140 2008-11-25T11:28:50-05:00 It actually made me think of the race I’m trying to run, which is not for Olympic gold, but for something better. These six words: “Well done, good and faithful servant,” (Matthew 25:21) spoken by Jesus at the finish line of my life. http://intothyword.org/apps/articles/default.asp?articleid=36065&columnid=3803 2008-11-10T18:08:43-05:00 His Divine Power is Given! Peter sends his greetings and blessings with solemn humbleness and intimacy to the people in the faith. http://70030.netministry.com/apps/articles/default.asp?articleid=35660&columnid=3803 2008-10-27T20:12:32-05:00 This passage in Romans is often just glanced over. You may never see a sermon or Bible study on it, because it is seen as just a list of names. But, is that all it is? http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Personal-Power/The-Most-Powerful-Person-In-The-Room-4355 2008-08-27T16:11:47-05:00 Well, okay, the server's name was officially Jesús. But his unselfish, "What can I do for you?" spirit, offered by a man with Jesus' name, said a lot to my friends. I don't know what his relationship is with Jesus, but he understands how one who bears His name should live.
