Love Always

1 Corinthians 13:6-7-"Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

Always love - pretty tall order and pretty tough stuff. Only God is "always." But then Christians are fueled to a always love through the Holy Spirit! Check out the promised source of "always" love in Romans 5:5.

The Importance of the Word of God

Hebrews 4:12-"For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."

Colossians 3:16-"Let the word of Christ, dwell in your hearts richly..."

I am a ardent student of history and I love to study the presidents. My favorite President of all time is President Theodore Roosevelt who once made the famous quote, "A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education." I couldn't agree more with that statement. The Word of God is the key to our spiritual growth and living a victorious life. Don't forget to take time this upcoming year to study God's word and meditate upon its truth each and every day. Hear the words of Paul, "Let the word of Christ dwell in your hearts richly." Let's do that this year.

The Rock

Isaiah 26:4-"Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord is the Rock Eternal."

When we see mountains we feel small, knowing not only how much larger they are than we are, but also how much longer they have been here than we have been. But the Lord existed long before any mountain and will exist long after it has melted into nothing. The only rock of security, and all the forevers we have, are found in him.

The True Meaning of Christmas

"And there were in the same country shepherds, abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them! And they were sore afraid ... And the angel said unto them, "Fear not! For, behold, I bring you tidings o great joy, which shall be to all my people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ, the Lord." "And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger." And suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the Heavenly Host praising God, and saying, "Glory to God in the Highest, and on Earth peace, and good will toward men." "That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown." - Linus Van Pelt
