Christ the Lord

In one week, it will be the eve of a long awaited day for many across the nation, and the world. Anticipation throbs in the air. Houses are being cleaned. Lists are being checked and rechecked. Travel plans are being confirmed, and menus are being finalized. Many intend to recognize and celebrate the coming of the newborn King.

The bible tells of another day. A day so long awaited that no one even knows the date or time. A day that the whole world, the bible says, groans in anticipation of. In preparation, spiritual houses are being cleaned, lists are being checked and rechecked, and travel plans are being confirmed.

It must be with great intention that  we recognize the promise fulfilled of the messiah in the form of a newborn King. It must be with even greater anticipation that we prepare for the second coming of the same, not new born, but the risen and glorified King of kings. For the Word declares he is more than just a baby born in a manger. He is the sinless one that took the place of the entire human race- dying for sins we should have died for- because he loved us too much to watch us bear that pain of deserved punishment.

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.-1 Timothy 3:16

Just as the chorus proclaims, heard in the air during this season of celebration:
 O Come let us adore Him
O Come let us adore Him
O Come let us adore Him
Christ, the Lord

Mission: Christmas Blessing

Peace & love everybody! I've been so excited it's been hard to contain myself regarding today's mission! I hope that after reading this post, you'll be as encouraged as I am now! Known by most today as "the last Stalinist country" and according to VOM, "one of the most repressive and isolated regimes in the world", North Korea needs our prayers, monetary support, and volunteers. It's even being reported that a holocaust is occurring there as I'm writing this! Christians are being tortured, killed, and having "experiments" run on them all because they testify that Jesus is their Lord. Read a short synopsis of what Persecution.com has to say about North Korea and check out their related links. Thanks to our family over at The Voice of the Martyrs, we will be able to encourage and support our North Korean brothers and sisters! With our donations of $50 we will be able to sponsor a package that will have hard-to-get essentials, ...

all we need , is in Him

Colossians 2:8-10, 12 KJV Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. sin nailed to the cross - image from web Philosophy, traditions, and all the other ways man uses to try and  understand God can only get us so far- if anywhere at all. Sometimes fooling with the newest method and the trendiest biblical insight, or perspectives, takes us in circles. The surest way to learn God, and to get understanding of His Word is through the Holy Ghost. 1 Corinthians 2:11 tells us that only the Spirit of God can know the things of God. And everything that is God, can be found bodily in Christ. In Christ we a...

Build a defense in Judah: 2Chronicles 11-15

" This time I will Praise the Lord, so she named him Judah"- Gen.29:35 In our reading passage for today 2 things jumped out for me. First, 2 chronicles 11:5 tells us that Solomon's son, Rehoboam built defense cities in Judah. Their is safety and defense in praise, and it is the best thing to build a defense in. Psalms tells us that God inhabits the praise of his people ( Ps. 22:3) Second, one of the defense cities is Bethlehem. Bethlehem? A defense city, Who woulda thought, but then how fitting for God to make an appearance, in a defense built in praise. I thought it was cool. Share your thoughts!
