I heard Jeff Foxworthy speak this week and he didn't tell one 'redneck' joke - not one! He didn't tell any jokes at all! Yet, he was amazing!
He told of his involvement over recent years in a rescue mission in his hometown, Atlanta, Georgia. He spoke of leading a men's Bible study there that has grown to nearly 150 men - many of whom are homeless.
He told us of one man in particular who has been turned around by the wornderful grace of God. Then, Jeff introduced us to that man and we had the opportunity to applaude a formerly homelss man who now has a mansion being built for him in Heaven!
The whole experience wasn't about Jeff Foxworthy. It wasn't even about the homeless man. It was all about Jesus and His transforming power!
Who are you investing in? How are you loving your neighbor as much as you love yourself? How is God getting His powerful work done through your life?
