If we are born again, we are born again by the same power that brought about the birth of Jesus. He was born of God so that we can be born of God. Merry Christmas and God bless you.

To friends we send cards. To special friends we send gifts. But to the ones we really love we go personally. Jesus came personally. He really loves us. Merry Christmas and God bless you.

Family get-together at Christmas is a wonderful time, but it is only a picture of what is to come. When Jesus the Son comes home what a reunion that will be! What a gathering! What a party, what feasting, what joy! Nobody who belongs there will be missing. Every born-again child of God will meet our “great elder brother,” the Son of all sons, face to face. The celebrations will go on forever. It will be the greatest family get-together of all time. Have a little foretaste this season. Merry...

Whatever we get of God or from Him, is not purely for our personal enjoyment. He blesses us to make us a blessing. We get more blessing when we use more blessing. We should be a spiritual riverbed, not just a full bucket. “…out of his heart will flow rivers of living waters.” (John 7,38) God bless you

We become what we were born to be only when we are "born-again" by faith in Christ Jesus. Christ said, "If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed" (John 8:36). The world's greatest book on freedom is the Bible. The very idea of freedom came from the Bible, not from Greece or Rome. Read it! Remember God made the first free nation ever seen on earth, Israel, and He wants to put a sense of liberty in our very soul. God opposes tyranny. The Gospel makes us the freeborn sons of God. God...

People ask "Do you like Christmas?” Like it? God planned the world for it! That was the key of history locking together all days. Without Christmas the world would be meaningless... The Incarnation and work of Christ are God’s greatest achievement. Christmas! It is HIS day, not the festival of fried turkeys and geese. Those who quibble about the 25th of December being once a pagan mid-winter feast have no perspective whatever. They may as well say we can’t grow wheat in a field because some...

God doesn’t need to give us inspiring dreams and visions to do what we can do, but what we can’t. We excel at being ordinary. The Lord chose us for the honor of the extraordinary. Trust Him. God bless you.

God cannot forgive except by the atonement. It needs more than omnipotence or love. He did not just overlook our sin. It meant gathering up this evil and taking it into His own bosom like a fire. Sin necessitated Calvary. It finds its dreadful finality in Him. The music of God has a minor mode, while we are called upon to “rejoice in the Lord always…” Aren’t you glad? God bless you. 

The Holy Spirit is God in action on earth. God bless you.

To save Israel God sent Moses, Joshua and others. To save us He sent nobody. He came Himself. That’s why, when Christ was born, Christians say MERRY CHRISTMAS. God bless you.

The Bible is God’s summary of events. What we call history is a record colored by the writers’ own outlook. Scripture is God’s view. “Your Word is truth” (John 17,17). It begins with an end and ends with a beginning. God ended the work of creation and He will begin a new heaven and earth. The Bible is not ‘to make us think’ but to make us act. It is neither an academic treatise nor an encyclopedia to explain everything. It does not crack every conundrum and satisfy mere curiosity. Faith is a...

Jesus said, "Fear not!" But that was not all. He was the supreme Psychologist. Notice what He said: "Do not be afraid, only believe" (Luke 8:50). It was always more than just, "Don't be afraid," or "Take courage, be brave." That alone would be useless advice. Fear is a force and it must be met by a superior force, which is faith. Fear is the negative force. It is the darkroom in which people develop their negatives. Only a positive force can cancel a negative one. That positive force is...

Fear sees just what man sees. Faith sees what God sees—and acts upon it. Faith creates action, and people of action, like Caleb and Joshua. Unbelief keeps us tied down in a spiritual wilderness — like Israel was for so many years. Fear and doubt magnify the difficulties, making us think people cannot be won for Christ and that the world is too strong. Without faith, we fear failure and mockery. But faith says people can be won, and so the joy of expectation grips us instead. By faith we move...

The perfect husband is he who doesn’t expect his wife to be perfect. The perfect wife is she who doesn’t expect her husband to be perfect. But both have a perfect Savior in Jesus Christ. God bless you.

Negative reactions to negative circumstances is one way to live and not be alive, or to be alive and not live. "The just shall live by faith", says the Bible, live and not just exist, run and not just crawl. God bless you

This world is not as it should be. We pray “Thy will be done on earth” – because it isn’t. We are here to change the world and not change ourselves to match it. God bless you.

Intercession is not a replacement for evangelism, because the two of them actually go together. Intercession means telling God about the lost - praying that he will save them from their sins. Evangelism means telling the lost about God - calling them to be reconciled to him, to stop being his enemies and to become his friends. Intercession and evangelism need each other! Together they carry the gospel into the world. Got it? God bless you. 

Mary Magdalene was shocked when she found the grave of Jesus empty. (John 20,16) “She wept bitterly”. Why? Remember that this was the Mary out of whom Jesus had cast 7 evil spirits. Mary reasoned like this: “If Jesus, my Savior is dead, it can only mean one thing – all the devils and more are going to come back to me.” But then Christ interrupted her thoughts by calling her by her name “MARY”. What her tearful eyes had missed, her ears picked up…it was the voice of her Jesus! She shot...

Churches are not clubs for the perfect. They are clinics for the sick, the wounded and the maimed, where those a bit stronger help those who are still weak. The forgiven forgive. The healed heal. The comforted comfort others. Our role is not to kick people when they are down. They are the devil’s victims and, rather than scorn we should pour on them the oil of understanding and bring recovery and joy. God bless you.

If you burry a lie, it will rot. If you bury the truth, it will rise. That’s why the grave couldn’t hold JESUS. He is “the way the truth and the life…” God bless you.
