Riding on the Roller Coaster of Life with Dirty Feet

Several weeks ago I preached a sermon entitled, "Dirty Feet" during a revival and 10th anniversary celebration at the Empowerment Temple AME Church in Congo Town, Liberia.  The sermon looked at the passage found in Romans 10:11-15.  I then highlighted three ways you can tell when people have Godly “Dirty Feet.”  Here are the points:

1. They are people that “Walk by Faith and Not by Sight” --You must believe in the faith that you profess and be willing to be obedient to God’s voice. 
2. They are people that are “Truth Bearers/People with a Purpose”   
3. They are unifiers.

 In giving these points I did not realize that I would be tested by God on all and my feet would be soiled.  I guess it's the quintessential question, do you practice what you preach?

One prayer partner even noted:  "Your life is a real roller-coaster:  Visiting a paralyzed student and then meeting two Nobel Peace Prize laureates, celebrating your birthday alone and
then having your chapter published!  So glad SBMS is going well!  :)"

Thanks for the encouragement everyone!
