“As sinners, we can deceive ourselves, as well as the people around us, with what is truly in our hearts, but the Bible shows us who we actually are, judging our true beliefs. As we read, soak in, and apply its truths, Scripture performs spiritual open-heart surgery. Like a personal counselor, God’s Word can go straight to the source of our issues, connecting with and changing our actions, our thoughts, and even our very motives.”

“It is time to realize that we need God more than He needs us…. Let us, young and old, join together, as did the First Continental Congress, in first step, in humble heartfelt prayer. Let us do so for the love of God and His great goodness, in search of His guidance and the grace of repentance, in seeking His blessings, His peace, and the resting of His kind and holy hands on ourselves, our nation, our friends in defense of freedom, and all mankind, now and always.”

– President Ronald Reagan, Speech to American People (1986)

Give God Your Thanks

“God says to give thanks in everything. That doesn’t mean you need to give thanks FOR everything. You don’t need to give thanks FOR that bad day. Or FOR that bad relationship. Or being passed over at work. Financial hardship. Whatever it is – you are not to give thanks FOR the difficulties, but rather IN the difficulties. That is a very important distinction, and one I think we often miss. Giving thanks IN everything shows a heart of faith that God is bigger than the difficulties and that He can use them, if you approach Him with the right heart and spirit, for your good and His glory.”

Nothing is better than You / You turn mourning to dancing / You give beauty for ashes / You turn shame into glory / You’re the only one who can”

“It is a great thing to enter the inner chamber, and shut the door, and meet the Father in secret. It is a greater thing to open the door again, and go out, in an enjoyment of that presence .”

God…Absolute Morality

“To claim there are absolute truths about right and wrong is viewed as being intolerant, bigoted or judgmental–the three ‘sins’ of our postmodern secular culture.”

Christmas Is About Christ

It’s easy to get caught up in gift giving and celebratory events during Christmas; but let’s not forget what the holiday commemorates.

Many songs are written in celebration of Christ’s birth. One in particular is “The Little Drummer Boy” (originally “Carol of the Drum“). A beloved Christmas song written in 1941 by American composer Katherine Kennicott Davis,  it was first recorded in 1951 by the Trapp Family Singers.

The simple lyrics explain the heartache of a poor boy, when invited to meet baby Jesus thought, “I have no gift to bring that’s fit to give our King.”

That young boy then offered the King the only thing he had…himself.  

Picture the scene as it unfolds before the Christ child:

America – Trust Jesus

The mid-term election is over. Men and women – candidates from every state – declared what they stood for and what they would do to improve our country…they all made promises.

We Americans, after looking for truth in those declarations made by the candidates, voted for who we thought would best serve our nation.

Will their political promises be kept? Track records reveal political promises made before elections have not always been kept after the election is finalized. Promises made…but unkept…indicate trust was broken. For any nation to succeed it must have trust in Someone…Someone who is fully truthful…

Jesus.

As Election 2022 comes to pass may we remember to praise His holy name, praise God for the nation He has given us to grow and abound in His presence. Praise Him for past and present leaders and for our 2023 leaders forthcoming for “he deposes kings and raises up others” as He chooses. Praise Him in advance for giving us wisdom to select our leaders just as He did Moses and the Eleven.

Americans, 64% of which proclaim to be Christian, can change the negative road our nation is traveling on in this next election.

VOTE!
