Soon Christmas will be upon us and we'll celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus!

I trust your Thanksgiving Day was a blessing to you and your family as you paused to express your gratitude to God for His infinite blessings. God has indeed blessed our nation and us as individuals. Soon Christmas will be upon us and we'll celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus! Of all the gifts and blessings God has bestowed upon us; this is His crowning achievement! In the ensuing days, let's not lose our focus on why Christmas is such an important time for Christians. Let us share with those who've never met the Lord the joy of our personal salvation and how they too may be saved. This year, for the sake of the lost, "...be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus." 2 Timothy 2:1 (NKJV)

Choose today to stay informed of God’s Will for your Life

8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. Luke 21:8 (KJV) Four times in the New Testament we find the phrase “Be not deceived” each a warning to guard against a serious danger that can derail your life and render your testimony inert. I Cor. 6:9 warns us to guard against false salvation doctrine. I Cor. 15:33 warns us to guard against listening to and using evil language that ultimately spoils our image as Christians. Gal. 6:7 warns us to stay true to God as we cannot truly serve Him and the world. Our greatest danger is not from external physical or political attacks but from personal lackadaisical attitudes which attacks our morality and spirituality. We hold the key to a wholesome relationship with God; we can refuse to be deceived. Choose today to stay informed of God’s ...

We need not doubt; God is faithful.

1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2 (NKJV) Testimonials, promoting something beneficial to or for you don't just happen in church. Every TV ad, radio commercial and newspaper ad is aimed at getting your attention and convincing you to make a purchase or subscribe to something new. That is the way of commerce and we accept it as a part of living. Some testimonials you can believe, but remember most are aimed at profiting the one doing the promoting. Christians, the Church are also involved in promoting something they believe will serve to better you; the Gospel of Christ! Through the ages God has pro...

Spiritual gifts and wisdom are not accidents nor are they only for an elite few believers

1 My son, if you receive my words, And treasure my commands within you, 2 So that you incline your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding; 3 Yes, if you cry out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding, 4 If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures; 5 Then you will understand the fear of the LORD, And find knowledge of God. Proverbs 2:1-5 (NKJV) Spiritual gifts and wisdom are not accidents nor are they only for an elite few believers. Wisdom, deep and profound wisdom is, to be sure, one of the spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit. God endows a select few with supernaturally deep and profound wisdom that it may be shared and used for the edification of the church. While this true it is also true that wisdom can be attained through diligent study. Wisdom, counsels Solomon, should be sought after with the same diligence that we pursue our livelihood and the most valuable things in life. The benefit? One will come to understan...
