All About Others

John 3:16
God loves the world so much He gave His
Son so that whoever believes in Him will
not perish but would have eternal life.

ALL ABOUT OTHERS

It’s all about others,
Our sisters and brothers,
Who live in this world beside us…

Without others to pray for,
All our prayers would be selfish,
And fall flat without passion or love.

It’s all about others,
Our sisters and brothers,
Who often seem to divide us…

Ah, but without sinners to pray for,
We’d forget who our Lord died for,
And soon we’d forget about Jesus.

It’s all about others,
Our sisters and brothers,
Who don’t know what they’re missing…

The quicker we love them,
The sooner they would listen,
The more family will make it to heaven!

ONE FAITH

This morning I heard a staggering number – 150,000 – the number of

preachers each year who leave their ministries serving Jesus to pursue

their way of living by some other means. Later I came across a Michael

Card / JMT video on Truveo I thought fit perfectly. So, with a prayer for

all pastors, Bible teachers, friends and family who desire to live for others,

love Jesus, and trust His Way for life in this ever-darkening world we live,

this poem is for you. “There is one faith, one hope… one God and

Father… given so freely to all.”  FullyRelyOnGod, Jeff & Evelyn

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He makes me to lie down in green pastures;

He leads my beside the still waters.

He restores my soul….

SHEPHERD ME WITH LOVE

I’m fallen and lost,

I can’t find my own way;

I’m broken and tossed,

Worry ruins every day!

I’m deaf and afraid,

I’m blind in my own truth;

God I need You again,

My future has no root!

I’m bloodied and bruised,

I don’t enjoy my own life;

I am weak and abused,

Pain cuts like a knife!

God help me, Lord Jesus,

Are You still there in my heart?

Lord, shepherd me with love,

Carry me back to where you are!

JEFFREE!

Pastoral Ministry: In Need of a Physician

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes

me to lie down in green pastures; He leads my beside

the still waters. He restores my soul….–Psalm 23:1-3

Human nature being what it is, the man of God may

soon adopt an air of constant piety and try to appear

what the public thinks he is. The fixed smile and

hollow tones of the professional cleric are too well

known to require further mention.

All this show of godliness, by the squeeze of circum-

stances and through no fault of the man himself, may

become a front behind which the man hides, a plain-

tive, secretly discouraged and lonely soul. Here is no

hypocrisy, no intentional double living, no actual

desire to deceive. The man has been mastered by the

circumstances. He has been made the keeper of

other people’s vineyards but his own vineyard has not

been kept. So many demands have been made upon

him that they have long ago exhausted his supply. He

has been compelled to minister to others while he

himself is in desperate need of a physician.

God Tell The Man Who Cares – p.115

“Lord, I pray for pastors everywhere today who are indeed exhausted and

depleted. The task is so overwhelming and the demands so extreme. Come

today with a fresh breath of Your Spirit to refresh, renew, and restore. Amen.”

HIS LOVE

Isaiah 26:3-4
The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace,
  Because he trusts in You. Trust in the LORD forever,
  For in GOD the LORD, we have an everlasting Rock.

HIS LOVE

Look back as far as you can look,
See the memory of your First Love;
Know God Who formed your heart,
Is the Power that caused it to start.
Stand up now while you can stand,
Believe the truth of His Good News;
Find God Who authored eternal light,
Is Father of all who hope in Christ.
Look forward as far as you can look,
See the destiny of your empty faith;
Trust God Who created every soul,
Is the Wisdom that keeps it whole.
Stand firm if no one else will stand,
Believe the way to Heaven is Jesus;
Know God Who loves you so much,
Is Savior of all who accept His love.

He alone is my rock and my salvation,
He is my fortress; I will never be shaken.
