This Christmas, accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord. Give Him the gift that He wants––your heart, your soul, your life.
~Billy Graham~
The intricate history of God’s initial promise realized so fully at Jesus’ first coming increases confidence that the rest of God’s promises will be fulfilled at Jesus’ second coming and after that, into eternity.

The angels must often be astonished at us and think we are the strangest creatures that well can be, yet they love us, and therefore they take a great interest in that Gospel that promotes our highest good.
~C.H. Spurgeon~
Immanuel, God with us in our nature, in our sorrow, in our lifework, in our punishment, in our grave, and now with us, or rather we with Him, in the resurrection, ascension, triumph, and Second Advent splendor.

“The purpose of the Bible? Salvation. God’s highest passion is to get His children home. His book, the Bible, describes His plan of salvation. The purpose of the Bible is to proclaim God’s plan and passion to save His children.”—
Max Lucado
We can have our own truth and follow our own way and lose everything. Or we can accept God’s truth —His Word — and follow Him and gain it all. The choice is ours.

The death of Jesus may not be frequently talked about at Christmastime, but may we never forget that the miracle of the cross was made possible by the miracle of the incarnation.

“Loving our neighbors and our enemies is the core of the Sermon on the Mount, the core of Christianity… Love trumps judgment. We have to regain our credibility as people who know how to love...”

There has never been a great and true revival without much prayer. Many modern so-called revivals are gotten up by man's machinery. Genuine revivals are brought down by prayer.

From initial salvation to growth and service, all that is needed must be received from the Lord. This is an encouraging reality. Yet, it is also a humbling truth.

It was the whole Trinity, which at the beginning of creation said, "Let us make man". It was the whole Trinity again, which at the beginning of the Gospel seemed to say, "Let us save man."

Forgiveness is the key that unlocks the heavy door, opens the prison, and empowers us to walk away from bitterness and anger.
Following his famous Christmas tale of Ebenezer Scrooge, Charles Dickens wrote a small novella titled The Haunted Man in which the main character, like Scrooge, needs a change of heart. Professor Redlaw’s life was being destroyed by bitterness and anger and his inability to forgive and “forget the sorrow, wrong, and trouble you have known…”
A lack of forgiveness locks our hearts in a prison, separated from God and others. We become like Dickens’ Haunted Man.
