You know, folks, I've been thinking a lot about what real leadership in the church looks like. Jesus showed us so clearly in John chapter 13. He knew His time had come to leave this world and go to the Father. So what did He do? He got up from supper, laid aside His garments, took a towel, poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet. He wiped them with the towel that was around Him (John 13:4-5). Think about that, the Lord of glory, the Creator of everything, down on His knees doing the work of the lowest servant.
Hello folks, I want to share something tender from my life that led me deep into God's Word. I'm a dad to a wonderful non-verbal autistic son. We attend a special needs dance class together in Clydebank; it's a joy to see him move and enjoy the music in his own way.
You know, folks, when we open the book of Nehemiah, we find a man in a pretty good spot. He's the king's cupbearer, nice job, close to power, plenty of security. But then the news comes from Judah ~ the walls of Jerusalem are broken down, the gates burned with fire, the people in great distress and reproach (Nehemiah 1:3). It's heartbreaking. The city of God exposed, vulnerable.
Well, folks, let's open our Bibles, I am using the NKJV today and have a look at what the Word of God has to say about this whole business of repentance, fasting, and those things we see around us like Ash Wednesday and Lent. You know, as we go through the Scriptures studying and preaching verse by verse, we find that God isn't interested in a lot of religious show or seasonal ceremonies. He's after the heart.
Folks, let's open our Bibles to Revelation chapter 3, verse 20, where the Lord Jesus says these tender words: "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20,) I am using the NKJV today.
You know, here in the UK, folks get all excited about this thing called Pancake Tuesday, or Shrove Tuesday.
Well, folks, here we are on Valentine's Day again. As I was running over Conic Hill last night, thinking about this devotional today, running past the SPAR grocery store in Drymen, the shop is full of hearts and flowers, cards and candy. But let's take a moment and turn to the Word of God, because that is where we find the real truth about love and we will let the words speak to you.
