The Christmas Story – Part Eight
Now that we have Jesus, the burden is on us to help His Kingdom grow. Sure, His Kingdom will last forever, but not everyone will be a part of it. If you know somebody that’s not a part of His Kingdom today, it is our duty and honor to tell them TODAY because tomorrow we may not get the chance. Be obedient today – tell others about Jesus.

The Christmas story – Part Six
Makes me stop and think. What have I asked for that God is waiting on me to pray the “right” prayer before He answers it…. What about you? Is there something you have been repeatedly praying for, but need to stop and pray for what God wants first?

My challenge to each of us today is to find one thing to improve in our lives to make us more Christ-like. Once we accomplish this improvement in our life we can take another bite. What will you do differently today for God? By doing this we can start preparing ourselves for the Lord.

The Christmas story – Part Two
I stopped at this point, because I feel there is something we can learn from this brief part of the Christmas story. It is obedience. Although Zechariah was chosen by chance to be the priest to offer incense at the altar, we find in the following passage that he quickly obeyed and entered the sanctuary to burn the incense as instructed. He didn’t doubt, he didn’t pause – he immediately obeyed.

The Christmas Story begins
There was a man sent from God whose name was John. – John 1:6
This is the beginning of the Christmas story. Although the birth of Jesus, and the travels of the Wise Men to Him are some of the most popular scenes associated with Christmas, it is important to rewind to a time when Zechariah and Elizabeth are promised a baby (John).

got a bone to pick?
Days get so hectic that sometimes we just don’t take time to relax and forget about things. But more so than that, during these hectic days, we sometimes blame others for things that they didn’t even mean to do.

Thank God I’m alive!
Yesterday, during a long 6.5 hour drive (which normally takes 5-5.5 hours), I realized once again the importance of life. During my drive, I saw probably 5 bad accidents being cleaned up. You may have heard about or seen the show “I shouldn’t be alive.” Well, during my drive yesterday, I was almost in a horrible traffic accident. Continue reading
