The Bus Driver

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: 1 John 4:7-12

Be imitators of God . . . and walk in love. —Ephesians 5:1-2

In the middle of carting 70 pieces of luggage, an electronic piano, and other equipment through airports and on and off a tour bus, it’s easy to wonder, “Why are we doing this?”

Taking 28 teenagers on an 11-day ministry trip to a land across the ocean is not easy. But at the end of the trip our bus driver, who had carted us all over England and Scotland, grabbed the bus microphone and in tears thanked the kids for how wonderful they had been. Then after we got home, he e-mailed us to say how much he appreciated the thank you cards the kids had written to him—many of which contained the gospel.

Although the students ministered to hundreds through song during the trip, perhaps it was the bus driver who most benefited from their Christlikeness. In Ephesians we are told to be imitators of God and to walk in love (Eph. 5:1-2). Others see God in us when we show love to one another (1 John 4:12). The bus driver saw Jesus in the students and told them that they might just convert him to faith in Christ. Maybe it was for this man that we took that trip.

Why do you do what you do? Whose life are you affecting? Sometimes it’s not our target audience that we impact most. Sometimes it’s the bus drivers of the world.

Lord, may I be a shining light
For all the world to see
Your goodness and Your love displayed
As You reach out through me. —Sper

Witnessing is not just something a Christian says, but what he is.

Bible in One Year: 2 Samuel 1-2; Luke 14:1-24

Evening, Kathy. & Gut Shabbes. Missed everyone the past 2 days.

[beachn4fun]

Good morning, Everyone. Good morning

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities. I must say......awwwwww.....on the doggy retirement ceremony! (sniffle)

Now for our local DC Metroland weather report

~ Today.....Sunny. High 72F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.

~ Tonight....Mainly clear skies. Low around 45F. Winds light and variable.

I think today I'll be scarcer than chicken lips. This will be my last day in the office for a week so there's all sorts of last minute stuff.

Off course this also means that I might be around less next week while I'm on travel.

And, wouldn't you know it? It's snowing in Denver where I'll be traveling on business. Hopefully, the worst will be gone by the time I get there tomorrow.

Time for me to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are.

Now remember, the Canteen is ALWAYS

So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM
