Receive God’s Gift

by

The message and meaning of Christmas is unique among all other celebrations and holidays. When you strip away the commercialism, revisionism and all the other “isms” connected to Christmas, it really comes down to being all about one mission and one Name. In what has become known as the Greatest Story ever told, the Bible records the very reason why Jesus Christ came to earth. Having been born as a helpless babe, Jesus came to suffer a criminal’s death upon the Cross as a sacrifice for us in our place. So what is to be the message in all of this? …

Learning From Adversity

by

With Christ’s strength, we can be content in any difficulty God allows in our life. 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, …

THE PEARLS

by

Good Morning! The cheerful girl with bouncy golden curls was almost five. Waiting with her mother at the checkout stand, she saw them: a circle of glistening white pearls in a pink foil box. “Oh please, Mommy. Can I have them? Please, Mommy, please!”Quickly the mother checked the back of the little foil box and then looked back into the pleading blue eyes of her little girl’s upturned face. “A dollar ninety-five. That’s almost $2.00. If you really want them, you can save enough money to buy them for yourself. Your birthday’s only a week away and you might get …

The Bible’s First Promise

by

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. (Genesis 3:15) This is the first promise to fallen man. It contains the whole gospel and the essence of the covenant of grace. It has been in great measure fulfilled. The seed of the woman, even our Lord Jesus, was bruised in His heel, and a terrible bruising it was. How terrible will be the final bruising of the serpent’s head! This was virtually done when Jesus took away sin, vanquished death, and …

A Time for God ~ By deborah ann A time for patience, and for some rest a time to let God . . . do what is best. A time for endurance, to run the good race a time to stop running and abound in His grace. A time for serenity, in the midst of the buzz a time to find harmony as God always does. A time to listen, and to be still a time to wait for His perfect will. A time for calmness, when composure is gone a time for quietness and to God, be drawn. A …
