Today, in Bethlehem;

December 17th, 2011

A message to us from Bethlehem; “You might recognize this as a manger. This is where Jesus laid after he was born. Right behind me was the spot he was born in. I had to elbow two girls to stick my head down in this little room and touch the spot. People were going crazy there.”

Jesus Came;

December 12th, 2011

to the Earth as a Babe in Bethlehem. Matthew 2:9,10 gives us an understanding of the wise men and their thinking; “the star they had seen in the east guided them to Bethlehem… When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.”

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.” Luke 2:14

Mocking Jesus as a National Sport

December 9th, 2011

After a lunch conversation today it became aware to my lunch companion and myself just how often we find ourselves mocking Jesus. Then I read an article on “Mocking Jesus is the New National Sport.” The author writes; “I pray that this will be a wake-up call for all Believers today. A wake-up call that we have got to get back into the marketplace where we live each day and boldly, without shame or compromise proclaim our faith in Christ. If this doesn’t motivate you, nothing will. For too long, we have been intimidated into keeping our mouths shut while those who live in rebellion to God speak loud and bold without fear or conscience to promote their ungodly lives and choices. ”
