Have Faith Anyway.

And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 23But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. 24But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table. 28Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. Matthew 15:22-28
The place was a suburb of Detroit. The speaker was Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel. The subject: "After Auschwitz, Can We Still Believe!" Jews and Gentiles alike filled the great synagogue to listen to the recollections of one who survived the furnaces of Dachau. Thin and fragile, Wiesel stood at the podium for nearly an hour telling one story after another of the horror and despair of those bleak days in the '30s. His stories were of people confused with their imprisonment and sometimes destroyed with their release.
Painfully, silently, the audience relived the events of Wiesel's young life when he was the only surviving member of his family. Finally the stories ceased. His eyes dropped to the floor. There was no sound at all in that mammoth room for what seemed an agonizing eternity. Then he repeated the question, "After Auschwitz, can we still believe?" He shook his head slowly, sadly, "No, no..." before concluding powerfully, "but we must!"
Concerning whether or not to have faith, there is no choice. There was none for that Canaanite mom, none for Elie Wiesel, there is none for you and me. The message of this wonderful mother is "Chose to believe anyway!" You may not feel you are allowed to have faith, have it anyway. You may not feel God loves you, believe it anyway. You may come to understand that you are not included, include yourself anyway. Even the dogs get the crumbs that fall from the master's table. Rev. Dr. David E. Leininger, from his article “Hang In There!”
We can only experience God by faith. We can only have a personal relationship with Him by faith. One day the Bible promises that while now we see through a glass darkly, one day we will see Him face to face. That means that those who know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior will no longer experience Him by faith but will experience Him in His presence! What a wonderful day that will be. Faith now, face to face later. I cannot grab hold of faith, I cannot show you faith. I can only demonstrate faith. Faith is the only evidence we have of things not seen yet seen. So have faith any way, soon you will see.

We Must Pray For Those Who Do Not Know Jesus
Augustine's mother, Monica, was a fervent believer who prayed constantly for her son's salvation. She devoted her whole life to praying for Augustine's conversion. At one point, when Augustine was becoming devoted to the Manichaean philosophy, Monica begged a holy man to speak to Augustine, and show him why their beliefs were not true. The holy man refused because Augustine was known to have a great intellect, and would likely try to savage the holy man's arguments. The holy man assured Monica that he, too, had once been a Manichaean, and that Augustine was too smart to deceive himself much longer. At this, Monica began to cry. The holy man sent her away, saying, "Go, go! Leave me alone. Live on as you are living. It is not possible that the son of such tears should be lost."
The holy man was right. After many years and a fierce inner struggle, Augustine was touched by a revelation in Scripture, and became a Christian. When Monica learned of her son's salvation, she remarked that she had nothing left to live for, for the greatest desire of her heart had been fulfilled. Nine days later, Monica died. And the son she had spent her life praying for, went on to affect the whole world.
Monica never quit asking. "Live on as you are living," said the holy man. "It is not possible that the son of such tears should be lost." You are concerned about someone you love? Keep on asking God for help. Don't let your tears quench the flame of your faith in God. It may seem like God is ignoring you, but I assure you that is not the case. Don't give up. Keep asking. And keep on trusting. This is from King Duncan‘s, "When You Need Help," adapted from Ruth Bell Graham, Prodigals and Those Who Love Them.
Jesus said in Matthew “Ask, and it shall be given you, seek and ye shall find.” We must keep on asking. Day after day. Just like a child will keep asking their parents for a toy. They keep asking until their parents finally give an answer. It may not be the answer they want but it is an answer.
We must keep on seeking. The idea here is someone who keeps knocking door to door until he finds what he is searching for. He doesn’t exactly know what it is he is looking for, but he will know when he finds it. It’s like the old game show “Lets Make a Deal.” When the contestant isn’t sure what is behind door number 2, they sure like it when they see what it is.
When we keep on asking, and keep on seeking, we will find! What will we find? The perfect will of God for our lives. The will of God that will satisfy us and give us perfect peace. Isn’t that what you want? More than that, isn’t that what we need? Ask, keep on asking. Seek, keep on seeking, and then you will find the will of God.

I Am the One Who Jesus Loves
1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
Berlin -- Jesse Owens seemed sure to win the long jump at the 1936 games. The year before he had jumped 26 feet, 8 1/4 inches -- a record that would stand for 25 years. As he walked to the long-jump pit, however, Owens saw a tall, blue eyed, blond German taking practice jumps in the 26-foot range. Owens felt nervous. He was acutely aware of the Nazis' desire to prove "Aryan superiority," especially over blacks. At this point, the tall German introduced himself as Luz Long. "You should be able to qualify with your eyes closed!" he said to Owens, referring to his two jumps. For the next few moments the black son of a sharecropper and the white model of Nazi manhood chatted. Then Long made a suggestion. Since the qualifying distance was only 23 feet, 5 1/2 inches, why not make a mark several inches before the takeoff board and jump from there, just to play it safe? Owens did and qualified easily.
In the finals Owens set an Olympic record and earned the second of four golds. The first person to congratulate him was Luz Long -- in full view of Adolf Hitler. Owens never again saw Long, who was killed in World War II. "You could melt down all the medals and cups I have," Owens later wrote, "and they wouldn't be a platting on the 24-carat friendship and love I felt for Luz Long."
Jesus' closest friend on earth, the disciple named John, is identified in the Gospels as "the one Jesus loved." If John were to be asked, 'What is your primary identity in life?' he would not reply, 'I am a disciple, an apostle, an evangelist, an author of one of the four Gospels,' but rather, 'I am the one Jesus loves.'"
What would it mean, I ask myself, if I too came to the place where I saw my primary identity in life as "the one Jesus loves"? How differently would I view myself at the end of a day? Sociologists have a theory of the looking-glass self: you become what the most important person in your life (wife, father, boss, etc.) thinks you are. How would my life change if I truly believed the Bible's astounding words about God's love for me, if I looked in the mirror and saw what God sees?
There is the story of an old saint who, on a walking tour of a rural village, sees an old peasant kneeling by the side of the road, praying. Impressed, he says to the peasant man, "You must be very close to God." The peasant looks up from his prayers, thinks a moment, and then smiles, "Yes, he's very fond of me."

The Cracked Pot

A water bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on each end of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, and while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the master’s house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.
For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a
half pots full of water in his master’s house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its
accomplishments, perfect to the end for which it was made. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do. After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter
failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you." "Why?" asked the bearer. "What are you ashamed of?" "I have been able, for these past two years, to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your master’s house. Because of my flaws, you have to do all of this work, and you don’t get full value from your efforts," the pot said. The water bearer felt sorry for the old cracked pot, and in his compassion he said," As we return to the master’s house, I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path.
Indeed, as they went up the hill, the old cracked pot took notice of the sun warming the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the path, and this cheered it some. But at the end of the trail, it still felt bad because it had leaked out half its load, and so again it apologized to the bearer for its failure. The bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of your path, but not on the other pot’s side? That’s because I have always known about your flaw, and I took advantage of it. I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back from the stream, you’ve watered them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate my master’s table. Without you being just the way you are, he would not have this beauty to grace his house." Each of us has our own unique flaws. We re all cracked pots. But if we will allow it, the Lord will use our flaws to grace His Father’s table.
The Bible tells us in Romans 5:8 “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” We were unlovely, undeserving, unwilling to turn to God. Yet He still loved us despite ourselves. And then after He saves us He gives us the privilege of serving Him. Luke 1:74 says “That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear.”
We all have our short comings and our flaws. But thanks be unto God that He looks past our flaws and sees our need. We all need Jesus because without Him we are just cracked pots. But then He takes our cracked pot and uses it for His glory as He takes us as we are and turns us into what He wants us to be.
The bottom line is God can and will use you. Will you let Him use you? Will let Him be the Lord and Savior of your life?

Taking Care of the Crowd
“Too often, we think that giving our lives to God is like taking a $1,000 bill and laying it on the altar, saying, "Here's my life, Lord. I'm giving it all to you." But the truth of the matter is that God sends us to the bank and tells us to cash that $1,000 bill in for quarters. And then we go through life giving away twenty-five cents here, fifty cents there, and so on. Instead of watching a ball game, we spend some time visiting a lonely person in a nursing home who has no family. Instead of sipping coffee and reading the newspaper, we get dressed and go to teach Sunday school. Instead of playing games on the computer, we listen to a friend tell us about her problems, even though we're tired and have problems of our own to deal with.
These are the moments in which the grace of God can work through us to help another human being, to feed the hunger of the heart and spirit. They may not be spectacular miracles, but these are the things we can do to bring meaning and significance to our lives.” Johnny Dean from his sermon “How Much Is Enough?”
About 60 times in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John Jesus was taking care of the “multitudes” or as we would call them today the crowds. Matthew 14:14 “And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick. “ Jesus was moved to care for all those people who followed Him. He fed them, He healed their sick, He preached to them, He even walked with them.
The part of Matthew 14:14 that touches my heart is that Jesus was “moved with compassion toward them…” Jesus had compassion and that compassion moved Him or in other words they touched His heart. He loved them. And from that love and compassion He did something. He healed them.
Do you have compassion for the multitudes, for the crowds, for the people? And does that compassion move you? Does it touch you enough to cause you to do something? Does it cause you to take care of the crowd? I’m not saying that you can do what Jesus did and go and heal them miraculously. But you can touch the crowd, one person at a time!
Is there a person that needs a friend? Is there a person who needs a kind word today? Is there a person who needs to hear about Jesus from you? Is there a church member who needs to be encouraged? Is there someone who is mourning who needs to be comforted? Is there someone who is hungry who needs to be fed? We are to take care of the multitudes, the crowds. But we must do it one person at a time. Will you do that today?

God Could Have Destroyed Us
Ernie Pyle was a WWII Correspondent. Pyle was known for writing about the average GI. He didn't write about the strategy and the campaigns. He wrote about the guy slogging through the mud and dodging bullets to get back home. He knew the GI's because he lived with them, and eventually died with them.
In one of his books, he tells the story of a German soldier who had been taken prisoner. This German soldier had been told horrible stories about what the Americans would do to POW's, and so he was scared. The German was wounded and was taken to the medical station. The medics tried to give him a shot of morphine so they could tend to his wounds; but, the German objected furiously, afraid that he was going to be tortured. After some time, after observing the attention given to the other wounded, and the other POW's, this soldier finally started to figure out that he was being treated like everyone else and his amazement grew. Finally, the chaplain, making his morning rounds, gave the German soldier cigarettes, candy, tooth powder, and soap just like everyone else. The German soldier started to grin and sat up playing with his new possessions like a little boy with new toys.
That reminds me of the power of the love of God. We are in the hands of a power that we think should destroy us. Instead, God meets us with an offer of salvation. He offers us resurrection power and glory with His only Son.
During a heated argument a young warrior struck and killed a friend of his. Knowing the ancient, inflexible customs of his people, the young man fled, running across the desert under the cover of darkness, seeking safety.
He went to the black tent of the tribal chief in order to seek his protection. The old chief took the young man in. The chief assured him that he would be safe until the matter could be settled legally.
The next day, the young man's pursuers arrived, demanding the murderer be turned over to them. They would see that justice would prevail in their own way. "But I have given my word," protested the chief. "But you don't know whom he killed!" they countered.
"I have given my word," the chief repeated. "But he killed your son!" one of them blurted out. The chief was deeply and visibly shaken with his news. He stood speechless with his head bowed for a long time. The accused and the accusers as well as curious onlookers waited breathlessly. What would happen to the young man? Finally the old man raised his head. "Then he shall become my son," he informed them, "and everything I have will one day be his. He need only accept my offer.”
The chief could have destroyed that man, but instead he offered Him life. And more that just life, adoption into His family. That’s what God does for us. Not only does He not destroy us but He offers pardon to all who will receive it. No one in their right mind would turn that down.

Do You Believe In Miracles?
Charles Swindol tells a funny story about a nine-year-old named Danny who came bursting out of Sunday school like a wild stallion. His eyes were darting in every direction as he tried to locate either mom or dad. Finally, after a quick search, he grabbed his Daddy by the leg and yelled, "Man, that story of Moses and all those people crossing the Red Sea was great!" His father looked down, smiled, and asked the boy to tell him about it.
"Well, the Israelites got out of Egypt, but Pharaoh and his army chased after them. So the Jews ran as fast as they could until they got to the Red Sea. The Egyptian Army was gettin' closer and closer. So Moses got on his walkie-talkie and told the Israeli Air Force to bomb the Egyptians. While that was happening, the Israeli Navy built a pontoon bridge so the people could cross over. They made it!
By now old dad was shocked. "Is THAT the way they taught you the story?" Well, no, not exactly," Danny admitted, "but if I told you the way they told it to us, you'd never believe it, Dad."
With childlike innocence the little guy put his finger on the pulse of our sophisticated adult world where cool skepticism reigns supreme. It's more popular to operate in the black-and-white world of facts. . .and, of course, to leave no space for the miraculous.
Matthew 13:58 says “And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.” Many people wish and hope for miracles. But not many people really believe in miracles. But miracles in and of themselves do not produce faith. John 12:37 “But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him.” Only faith in and belief in Christ, not miracles, produces faith and that faith produces “mighty works” that Christ does in individuals.
Jesus did miracles not to prove His power, but to prove who He was! John 3:2 “The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.” Only God can do miracles, therefore I believe miracles do happen today. I believe in miracles because I believe in Him, Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God! And the greatest miracle is to take a vile, wicked sinner, on his way to hell, and by a simple act of faith in Jesus Christ to change him into something holy, righteous and bound for glory! Have you experienced this miracle in your own life?

Opening the Door to Jesus
Is there any parallel between the experience of the followers on the road to Emmaus and our lives? Yes, there are times when each of us fails to recognize the presence of Christ or the Holy Spirit. Remember that the Scriptures promise us that Christ is with us-at least potentially-not just as an occasional, miraculous event but at all times. In Revelation 3:20, he tells us, "Behold! I stand at the door and knock. If any-one hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and sup with him, and he with me." So an experience like that of the disciples, who recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread, is always available to all of us.
So it's easy, even for dedicated Christians, to put off opening the door to Jesus. We want to be good Christians, but when it's more convenient, at least not today. "Just wait," we say, "until we reach retirement age-or our kids get out of college-or we make the last house payment. Then we'll try to put into our lives the kinds of things we would want to do if Christ were here."
But Christ is here, right now. And when we open our hearts to other people, particularly those who are different from us, we are opening the door to him. This is a practical way that Christians can take a major step toward realizing the constant presence of our Savior. He says so specifically: "As ye have done it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto me" (Matthew 2 5:40).
When we take such a step, our eyes are opened, as were those of the disciples; we expand our lives, escape from the cages we build around ourselves, and enter a new environment of surprises, adventure, and real gratification. This is some of what Cleopas and his brother learned on the way to Emmaus. Imagine their elation and excitement! I wonder how long it took them to get back to Jerusalem, to share what they'd seen and heard with their friends? They might have set a 10,000-meter speed record!
We are thankful that the miracle they experienced isn't a mystery or a secret any longer. It's a truth all of us can share. Our Savior lives, and if we let it happen-if we accept his presence-our lives will be changed forever.

You Don't Need a Passport.
A person was married recently and for his honeymoon he took his new
wife on a cruise to the Caribbean. One of their stops was Cozemel, Mexico.
It is one of the most popular ports-of-call for cruise ships and a popular
vacation spot if you want to relax in the sun and get away from it all. You
need either a passport or proof of your US citizenship to go there. If you'
re going to travel to exotic places you have to have the proper paperwork.
Peaceful surroundings are not possible without red tape. Nor are they free.
Many people believe they need a passport to heaven. As long as they belong
to the right groups, observe the right practices, believe the right things,
they are guaranteed a room in God's great mansion. Jesus told his followers
that there is only one way to heaven. It is not with a passport, it was
through him. He said, "I am the way, the truth and the life“……the only way to God is through Jesus Christ!
As we start a new year let’s first of all make sure that we are saved from our sins. Are you sure that you have trusted in Jesus Christ? Are you sure that you have turned from your ways and your thinking about salvation? Are you trusting in Christ and His finished work on the cross alone and not any of your good deeds? Make sure! It’s not hard to be saved it’s just faith, faith in Christ alone. Don’t wait for a feeling. Don’t wait for a miracle. Don’t wait for a sign. Don’t wait for proof. And you don’t need a passport either. The miracle is Jesus, the sign is cross and the proof is the resurrection. Just come to Christ. He is your passport. And He is waiting…….for you.
Then I would urge all believers to make this year a year of the Bible for you. Read the Bible! Ten minutes a day and you can read the Bible through in a year. The Bible is God’s word and therefore it is a miracle book. It speaks to us as though God Himself were next to you.
Make this year a year of prayer for you. Have a specific time to pray each day. A time to get alone with God. Praise God, thank God, take others names to God in intercession and pray for God to use you to bring glory to His name!
Make this year a year of worship for you! “Forsake not the assembling of yourselves together…“ The easiest thing we as Christians can do is go to church. I have a guy in my church that since January 2013 has missed only one Sunday! Worship is preparing you for heaven and the sweet fellowship we will find there. So I call it “heaven practice” because in heaven we will have perfect worship and fellowship!
And finally make this year a year you look for Him! Jesus is coming for His church. I could be today, it could be tomorrow. Jesus said “In an hour that ye think not the Son of Man cometh.” So don’t be caught off guard. The Bible promises a blessing to those who are looking for Him. Most of us dread, fear and try to avoid the undertaker. But I’m excited and joyous because I’m looking for the UPPER taker! And I don’t need a passport, it’s free. Paid for by the precious blood of Jesus Christ!

What is Your Colt?

Three friends were discussing death and one of them asked: "What would you
like people to say about you at your funeral?"
The first of the friends said: I would like them to say, he was a great
humanitarian, who cared about his community.
The second said: He was a great husband and father, who was an example for
many to follow," said another.
The third friend said, I would like them to say, "Look, he's moving!!"
Bill Wilson pastors an inner city church in New York City. His mission field is a very violent place. He himself has been stabbed twice as he ministered to the people of the community surrounding the church. Once a Puerto Rican woman became involved in the church and was led to Christ. After her conversion she came to Pastor Wilson and said, "I want to do something to help with the church's ministry." He asked her what her talents were and she could think of nothing---she couldn't even speak English---but she did love children. So he put her on one of the church's buses that went into neighborhoods and transported kids to church. Every week she performed her duties. She would find the worst-looking kid on the bus, put him on her lap and whisper over and over the only words she had learned in English: "I love you. Jesus loves you."

After several months, she became attached to one little boy in particular. The boy didn't speak. He came to Sunday School every week with his sister and sat on the woman's lap, but he never made a sound. Each week she would tell him all the way to Sunday School and all the way home, "I love you and Jesus loves you."

One day, to her amazement, the little boy turned around and stammered, "I---I---I love you too!" Then he put his arms around her and gave her a big hug. That was 2:30 on a Sunday afternoon. At 6:30 that night he was found dead. His own mother had beaten him to death and thrown his body in the trash. "I love you and Jesus loves you." Those were some of the last words this little boy heard in his short life---from the lips of a Puerto Rican woman who could barely speak English. This woman gave her one talent to God and because of that a little boy who never heard the word "love" in his own home, experienced and responded to the love of Christ.

What can you give? What is your "colt"? You and I each have something in our lives, which, if given back to God, could, like the colt, move Jesus and His message further down the road.

Jesus said in John 15:5 “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” What is your colt? Your life! What can you give? Everything to Christ!

Mary’s character, Mary’s child and Mary’s consecration.
Mary steps from the manger scene and plays a very vital and crucial and a very blessed role in the Christmas story. The question begins to be raised--what role does Mary play? In our Christian faith, exactly where do we place Mary? Is she alongside the Lord Jesus Christ on an equal basis? It's no question that Mary is the best-known woman in the history of the world. Her name occurs over 51 times in the New Testament. Her name is the most popular name in the world given to little girls.
First of all lets look at her character. In Luke 1:27. It says the angel was sent "to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary." Notice the Bible says she was a virgin. People laugh at that word today. God places a premium on this kind of purity. God wants us to be pure. Mary, as we will see, is not sinless, but Mary has kept herself clean and pure for God.
Luke 1:28, says "Hail, thou that art highly favored..." Literally the words “highly favored” means pursued with grace. It is not that Mary bestowed grace on anyone, but that she was an object of God's grace upon her own life. She did not ACHIEVE grace, she RECEIVED grace.
Let’s look at her child. Luke 1:31, "And behold, thou shalt conceive in they womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus….For he shall save his people from their sins." This tells us that Mary's child is going to be the Redeemer, the Savior. MARY IS NOT THE SAVIOR OR CO-SAVIOR! She is blessed AMONG women, not ABOVE women. Mary prays in Luke 1:46 and 47, "My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my SAVIOR." She does not magnify herself, she rejoices IN God, she magnifies the Lord. Mary was not the Savior, she had to have a Savior just like we do. Mary was not the Redeemer. She had to have a Redeemer. You and I have to have a Redeemer. Can you say as Mary did that God is MY Savior? He is THE Savior, but can you say He is MY Savior?
Finally, let’s look at her consecration. Luke 1:34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? Mary wanted to know how this was possible. The angel answers in Luke 1:35 and 37 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. For with God nothing shall be impossible. Mary could have said, "I'm sorry but that's just too difficult to do. I'm going to pass on this one." But she didn't do that. Luke 1:38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. Mary consecrated herself to God's will and God's plan for her life.
I wonder if you could say that today? Be it unto me according to your word. Lord, I consecrate myself to do your will. I'll do just exactly what you want me to do. If you will make that decision that whatever God's will is you will consecrate yourself and commit yourself to it and say to the Lord, "Be it unto me according to your Word." Whatever you say, Lord, that's what I want to do. Do that then you'll have a happy Christmas and a blessed life like Mary's.

Getting Rid of the Bah Humbugs
Many years ago the Puritans thought that they were ruining Christmas with all their pagan rituals. They especially objected to the fact that the holiday usually came on a week day, therefore distracting people, they thought, from the Lord's Day of Sunday. So they took action and got rid of Christmas altogether. In Puritan settlements across 17th century America a law was passed outlawing the celebration of Christmas.
Can Christmas, as the Puritans thought, be saved from us and our sinful ways? So what if we spend $40 billion annually on presents. Can you think of a better way of spending all that money than on gifts of love. And so what if all the lights and tinsel does create a fairy tale setting that soon disappears as does the so called Christmas spirit. What harm is there in that?
So let the message ring out this day, not that we are destroying this holy day, but rather, that we can never destroy this day. Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be for all generations. For unto you is born this day, in the city of David, a savior who is Christ the Lord.
Not only some trying to destroy Christmas but some are trying to destroy God‘s grace which is what Christmas is all about. God sent His Son, we had nothing to do with it. We did not request a Savior to be sent to us. And most of all, we did not deserve a Savior to be sent to us, yet God sent His Son to us that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. So grace then is God’s free gift to us. A gift cannot be earned or it is no longer a gift is it? Some are trying to turn the grace of God into something that can be earned, worked for or obeyed.
Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace are ye saved through faith, not of works, lest anyone should boast.“ When did God ever say “bah, Humbug” to grace? Why did He put this passage in the Bible and many more like them if we were to “obey the gospel” in order to be saved? We cannot OBEY the gospel, we can only BELIEVE the gospel. Paul says “Bah, humbug” to those who would take the grace of God and make it of none effect in Romans 11:6. And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
Paul compares faith with works of the law in Romans 14:13-14“For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect.”
The law or what we call today, legalism is trying to earn and keep salvation through ones own effort. Paul is explaining that the promise of salvation was not to those who do good works or obey the law, but salvation is for those who have faith. If we can be made righteous through the law, or through works then why have faith? That faith is of no effect at all if works is required.
Abraham believed God and it was his faith in God that RESULTED in righteousness, and it was his faith in God that works followed after. Works did not save Abraham, works are the result of faith, not the cause of faith.
God has a warning to those who say “bah, humbug” to grace, so you better be on the side of grace and not the law. Hebrews 13:8-9 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. 9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats (law or works) which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

Must Christ Have Suffered?
Paul said in Acts 17:3, "That Christ must needs have (it was necessary that Christ)suffered and risen again from the dead. This Jesus whom I preach unto you is Christ." He just tells once more the simple story. It's that Jesus died on a cross. That He rose from a tomb. We have heard it so many times. But I'm afraid it doesn't move us the way it ought to move us. the cross was in the heart of God from all eternity. The Jewish people in the days of Paul missed it totally. They read their Old Testament and they saw the fact there was going to be a Messiah of glory, but they missed the fact that there was going to be a Messiah of suffering.
When Jesus when out to the cross of Calvary and suffered and died, He was fulfilling what the Scripture had said. "Must needs have suffered." That's why the cross is beautiful to us. When you understand what the suffering was for, then you begin to see the beauty of it.
There was a little girl whose mother's hands were terribly scarred. As the little girl got older she got to that stage where she was so self-conscious and embarrassed about her mother's scarred hands. Finally, one day in exasperation she said, "Momma, your hands are so ugly and so disfigured and so scarred. Momma, what's wrong with your hands?" The mother said, "Darling, I knew you would ask me sooner or later and I've been waiting for you to ask. When you were just a little baby in the crib, I was out of the house one day and I turned and the house was on fire. Darling, the first thought that came to my mind was my precious little girl. I ran back into the bedroom and I got you, but before I could my hands were burned and the doctors have done the best they could. I scarred my hands, darling, rescuing and saving you." When she said that the little girl began to weep. Tears began to erupt from her eyes. She reached out and took her mother's hands and began to smother them with kisses and drop tears on them. She said, "Oh, momma, pleas forgive me, I never knew. Those are the most beautiful hands I've ever seen."
When we talk about the cross and we talk about the nails and the thorns and the blood and the anguish of it all there's beauty in the cross because it was on the cross that Christ paid the price for our sins.
All heaven is interested in the cross of Christ, all hell is terribly afraid of it, while men are the only beings who more or less ignore its meaning. Oswald Chambers.
He came to pay a debt He didn't owe because we owed a debt we couldn't pay. There are no crown-wearers in heaven who were not cross- bearers here below. Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Must Christ have suffered? Yes, for this was God’s way. God’s way’s are not our ways, nor His thoughts our thoughts. God dealt with sin by instead of killing the devil, He killed His Son. Instead of putting Jesus on the throne, He put Him on the cross. This was necessary. “For without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin.” Have you found it necessary to live for the one who died for you?

Thanksgiving
Psalm 92:1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High.
Psalm 75:1 Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare. Psalm 100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. Psalm 118:1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.
Two men were walking through a field one day when they spotted an enraged bull. Instantly they darted toward the nearest fence. The storming bull followed in hot pursuit, and it was soon apparent they wouldn't make it.
Terrified, the one shouted to the other, "Put up a prayer, John. We're in for it!"
John answered, "I can't. I've never made a public prayer in my life."
"But you must!" implored his companion. "The bull is catching up to us."
"All right," panted John, "I'll say the only prayer I know, the one my father used to repeat at the table: 'O Lord, for what we are about to receive, make us truly thankful.'"
Why did only one cleansed leper return to thank Jesus? The following are nine suggested reasons why the nine did not return:
One waited to see if the cure was real.
One waited to see if it would last.
One said he would see Jesus later.
One decided that he had never had leprosy.
One said he would have gotten well anyway.
One gave the glory to the priests.
One said, "O, well, Jesus didn't really do anything."
One said, "Any rabbi could have done it."
One said, "I was already much improved."
In his book FOLK PSALMS OF FAITH, Ray Stedman tells of an experience H.A. Ironside had in a crowded restaurant. Just as Ironside was about to begin his meal, a man approached and asked if he could join him. Ironside invited his to have a seat. Then, as was his custom, Ironside bowed his head in prayer. When he opened his eyes, the other man asked, "Do you have a headache?" Ironside replied, "No, I don't." The other man asked, "Well, is there something wrong with your food?" Ironside replied, "No, I was simply thanking God as I always do before I eat." The man said, "Oh, you're one of those, are you? Well, I want you to know I never give thanks. I earn my money by the sweat of my brow and I don't have to give thanks to anybody when I eat. I just start right in!" Ironside said, "Yes, you're just like my dog. That's what he does too!"
The first American Thanksgiving didn't occur in 1621 when a group of Pilgrims shared a feast with a group of friendly Indians. The first recorded thanksgiving took place in Virginia more than 11 years earlier, and it wasn't a feast. The winter of 1610 at Jamestown had reduced a group of 409 settlers to 60. The survivors prayed for help, without knowing when or how it might come. When help arrived, in the form of a ship filled with food and supplies from England, a prayer meeting was held to give thanks to God.

Are You Interested Or Committed?

A pastor shared an experience he had a few years ago that really opened his eyes to the parable of the seeds that failed to take root on different types of soil. He had just lead a wildly successful evangelistic crusade. Many people signed commitment cards indicating that they wanted to commit their lives to Jesus. But only a week after the crusade, when the pastor visited some of these people, he discovered that many of them had already lost their enthusiasm.

A single mother, overwhelmed by her family's needs, had quickly lost the joy she'd found during the evangelistic services. A teenager decided against becoming a Christian because he feared his friends' ridicule. A businessman decided that he wasn't ready to let his faith change his life. He retreated back to his old comfort zone.

That happens. We live in a world of people with good intentions. But good intentions won't get it done. To make a difference in the world requires a high level of commitment.

In his book, The One Minute Manager, Ken Blanchard says, "There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you are interested in doing something, you do it only when it is convenient. When you are committed to something, you accept no excuses."

Matthew 13:18-23 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

There are four types of soil or human hearts described in this passage.
1. Hard hearts. They start out with some interest and good intentions, but in the end they reject the truth of God.
2. Shallow hearts. They also have good intentions, God’s word has peeked their interest, but when trouble comes they go back to their comfortable old life.
3. Unfaithful hearts. They also have good intentions, they are very interested, but with a lack commitment, the world and its pleasures soon overcomes them.
4. Fruitful hearts. Unlike the other three, these people don’t have good intentions, they are not just interested, they have total commitment! God’s word challenges them to take up their cross daily and follow the Lord. They accept no excuses! Only these kind of hearts can produce fruit!

Elijah said, “if the Lord be God follow Him, if not then follow Baal.” What kind of heart do you have?

Christians in Jeopardy

Of course, in America, we do not stand in jeopardy of our lives (in other countries they do); however, the DEDICATED Christian is in jeopardy of several things: When you determine to live for Jesus you will sometimes jeopardize friendships and relationships. Not everyone will be happy about you being a Christian.

One day John Wesley was riding on his horse when it dawned on him he had not been persecuted for three days. "Maybe I've sinned or been disobedient," he said. He got off his horse, and got on his knees. A redneck on other side of road recognized the evangelist and threw a rock at him. It bounced off the road, just missing Wesley. Wesley leaped to his feet and shouted, "Thanks be to God! Everything's all right. I still have God's presence with me."

When you decide to be more than the average "run of the mill" Christian, you may jeopardize your job or your position in society. Christianity is still not very popular today.

The following are just a little idea of how fast we, as Christians, are losing our liberties in America.
A publicly owned cemetery in California does not permit commemorative planters in the shape of a cross.
City seals in Missouri, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Illinois may not include symbols that acknowledge the presence of religion.
Pastors may not offer invocations or benedictions at public school graduation ceremonies.
Pastors may not use the name of Jesus Christ when offering invocations at government meetings.
A criminal successfully challenged his sentence because a judge read from the Bible during the sentencing hearing.
Custom license plates may not bear the words "PRAY" in the State of Oregon, "GOD 4 US" in the State of Virginia, or "THANK GOD" in the State of Utah.
Mayors may not proclaim Christian values, such as praying or reading the Bible, without fear of litigation.
A public-school student in Virginia, told to write her autobiography in English class, was forced to change her own life story when she acknowledged the importance of Jesus in her life.

The University of Minnesota, Texas State University, Brown University, UC Berkeley, George Washington University, and Virginia Tech are among many that have not allowed conservatives to speak at their college campus. Their crime? They dared believe and promote a Biblical world view on sexuality and life in general. So much for free speech! The Bible is even called a “hateful” book on most college campuses today.

A Christian doctor at was fired in Britain for refusing to call a six-foot tall bearded man as “she.” A long time Christian medical researcher and doctor at Johns Hopkins was charged with ethical violations and suspended for saying that gender transitioning is child abuse. He instead retired.

Recently Pro-life displays with Bible verses have been vandalized and defaced at Northern Kentucky, Georgetown, DC and Marquette universities. A UC Santa Barbara professor assaulted a pro-life speaker for quoting the Bible and that professor is still employed! Many colleges ban pro-life speakers to avoid riots and out of control mobs. Churches have been picketed and vandalized for having Biblical views of sexuality and abortion. Again, so much for free speech!

Finally, A war memorial in Oregon cannot be erected in the shape of a cross.
Can you see why I say, as soldiers of the cross we stand in jeopardy? I want to ask you a question: are you willing to put on the uniform of Christ-receive Him as your Savior, and live for Him, regardless of the cost? Can I ask you, what is your level of commitment is today? Do you live like you know Him?

A True Christian

What is as Christian? A person who follows the Lord Jesus Christ in faith and in devotion. They have trusted in Jesus Christ as Savior and seek to live for Him each day. That’s what a Christian is. But how do you recognize a Christian? They can be recognized because they do the things Jesus did. What did Jesus do?

Here is the test of a true believer. Exactly what did Jesus do?

1. First of all He went to the synogogue (church). How many Christians blessed with able bodies and health don’t even bother going to church anymore. They miss most every Sunday, but they sure don’t miss their children’s or grandchildren’s events. They don’t miss UK ball games, or their favorite TV program. They wouldn’t drive one mile to go to church but would drive all day to get to the beach. “Well that’s different!” Yes it is, and that’s the problem. The world is more attractive, more valuable to us than worshipping and praising our Savior Jesus.

2. He went to pray. How many Christians don’t have a regular, consistent time of prayer? Most do not even think of praying. The Bible says in Matthew 6:6 “But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” We need to get alone with God and pray. That’s what Jesus Did. You want to change your life? Have a prayer life!

3. He went to work as a carpenter and later in ministry. He was busy working, preaching and teaching. We should work. We should earn or earned our own way. We should not be depending upon others if we are able bodied. We should not be lazy.

Jesus also had a ministry. Every Christian should have a ministry if you are good mind. Whether it be prayer, (everyone can pray) Bible reading, encouraging others, being faithful in church attendance, teaching, studying, witnessing, visiting, calling, writing, helping out your church, speaking, using social media for God’s glory, singing, serving, comforting others, being righteous, encouraging others, or just loving people. We can all have some sort of ministry.

Jesus went among the people with Gods message. He was an active member of society. He didn’t sit at home all the time. How many of us sit at home and watch TV all the time? Going for days without even talking to another human outside of your home. Ephesians 5:16 “Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”

4. He went to the cross. The cross is our test of who we love the most. Who do we love most? Ourselves or Jesus? Have we surrendered everything to follow Christ? Luke 9:23 “And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.” We all have a cross to bear. We all will suffer some sort of persecution, criticism and backlash if we follow Jesus.

It rains on the just and the unjust so don’t think something is wrong with you if bad things happen. God works all things to His glory and your good. Romans 8:28

Just being faithful to Jesus day after day, week after week, month after month and year after can be your cross for it is very difficult and hard in a society that does not value Jesus. Obviously it’s hard because so few people do it!

5. He went to heaven. That is where Jesus is. That’s where will go when we die and be with Him! This is the goal for everyone who follows Jesus.

Conclusion: The greatest thing we can do, and the greatest knowledge in life is to know God and the greatest blessing in life is to be known by Him. You should be thankful that you know Him.....but most of all that He knows you and know that He has already done everything to provide His salvation for you!

I Like My Way Better
Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
DL Moody was heard witnessing to a young man. A lady from his church walked by and said to him…“I don’t like the way you witness to people.“ Mr Moody replied “Well, I don’t like it either, how would you do it?“ She replied, “I wouldn’t do it at all, I like my way better.“
David Livingstone went to darkest Africa as a lone missionary. After some time his missions committee wrote to him saying, "Some people would like to join you. What’s the easiest road to get where you are?" He replied, "If they’re looking for the easiest road, tell them to stay in England. I want people who will come, even if there’s no road at all!" Sometimes the pathway of the Christian life appears to change from a smooth-surfaced road to a stony track to no road at all. But most people like their way better.
In A Slow and Certain Light, Elizabeth Elliot tells of two adventurers who stopped by to see her, all loaded with equipment for the rain forest east of the Andes. They sought no advice, just a few phrases to converse with the Indians. She writes, "Sometimes we come to God as the two adventurers came to me—confident and, we think, well-informed and well-equipped. But has it occurred to us that with all our accumulation of stuff, something is missing?" She suggests that we often ask God for too little. "We know what we need—a yes or no answer, please, to a simple question. Or perhaps a road sign. Something quick and easy to point the way. What we really ought to have is the Guide himself. Maps, road signs, a few useful phrases are good things, but infinitely better is someone who has been there before and knows the way, but most people still like their way better.
Back when the telegraph was the fastest means of long-distance communication, there was a story about a young man who applied for a job as a Morse code operator. Answering an ad in the newspaper, he went to the address that was listed. When he arrived, he entered a large, noisy office. In the background a telegraph clacked away. A sign on the receptionist’s counter instructed job applicants to fill out a form and wait until they were summoned to enter the inner office. The young man completed his form and sat down with seven other waiting applicants.
After a few minutes, the young man stood up, crossed the room to the door of the inner office, and walked right in. Naturally the other applicants perked up, wondering what was going on. Why had this man been so bold? They muttered among themselves that they hadn’t heard any summons yet. They took more than a little satisfaction in assuming the young man who went into the office would be reprimanded for his presumption and summarily disqualified for the job.
Within a few minutes the young man emerged from the inner office escorted by the interviewer, who announced to the other applicants, "Gentlemen, thank you very much for coming, but the job has been filled by this young man."
The other applicants began grumbling to each other, and then one spoke up, "Wait a minute! I don’t understand. He was the last one to come in, and we never even got a chance to be interviewed. Yet he got the job. That’s not fair."
The employer responded, "All the time you’ve been sitting here, the telegraph has been ticking out the following message in Morse code: 'If you understand this message, then come right in. The job is yours.' None of you heard it or understood it. This young man did. So the job is his." Those who liked their way better….missed the right way.
In life there are many rights and wrongs. But in spiritual things there is only one way, one right path, one way that leads to life. That way is not found in a creed, a government, a religion, a secret yet to be discovered. It is found only in Jesus Christ. You can’t find a better way to get to God. You can’t find eternal life your way, you have to come to Him His way if you are going to have eternal life. John 14:6 I am the way…the truth…and the life…no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

"Feel Like It."
I rather like the story Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick once related from his own childhood days. His father had said to his mother, upon leaving the house one Saturday in the morning hours: "Tell Harry that he can cut the grass today, if he feels like it." Then, halfway down the walk, his father turned once more to add: "And tell Harry that he had better feel like it."
Well, in its own rather humorous way, there is something essential about life wrapped up in that. For there is a difference between knowing we are supposed to do something, and 'feeling like" doing it. There is a difference between a sense of obligation and a sense of generosity. There is a difference between obedience and desire. And the one of those weighs us down, while the other lifts us up.
We love Him because He first loved us. 1 John 4:9 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
We love Him and serve Him not because we ought to or need to, even those both of those are true, but that is not enough to motivate us to serve Him for the right motive. I John 5:3-5 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
We are motivated and then overcome through the love of God that sent Jesus Christ to a cruel cross to die for us. We are motivated by a God who gave His only begotten Son to die for us so that we might have true forgiveness for all of our sins and then we can live through Him and for Him. for only through this selfless act can we obtain so much in this life and the hope of a greater life to come.
We then serve faithfully and dutifully whether we feel like it or not. Our soldiers serve faithfully in Iraq because of love of country and devotion to duty and out of that love they fulfill that duty. They may not feel like going to war but they do. So we serve not because we feel like it but because we love Christ and out of that love comes the desire to obey Him and serve Him dutifully.
I’m sure Jesus didn’t “feel” like getting beaten and crucified for your sins and mine but He did it anyway! Will you serve Him now? Will you serve Him out of love, gratitude and devotion to duty or wait until you feel like it?

Story of the Prince

John 1:14 “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
John 3:16-17 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

We affirm a belief in the Son, Jesus Christ. We say that God took on human form, came and lived among us, suffered the same trials that we suffered, experienced the same feelings that we experienced. Jesus was purely human and purely divine. Jesus was God incarnate. Jesus never drew attention to himself but always pointed to God.

Soren Kiekegard, the great Danish theologian of another century tells a story of a prince who wanted to find a maiden suitable to be his queen. One day while running an errand in the local village for his father he passed through a poor section. As he glanced out the windows of the carriage his eyes fell upon a beautiful peasant maiden. During the ensuing days he often passed by the young lady and soon fell in love. But he had a problem. How would he seek her hand?

He could order her to marry him. But even a prince wants his bride to marry him freely and voluntarily and not through coercion. He could put on his most splendid uniform and drive up to her front door in a carriage drawn by six horses. But if he did this he would never be certain that the maiden loved him or was simply overwhelmed with all of the splendor. The prince came up with another solution. He would give up his kingly robe. He moved, into the village, entering not with a crown but in the garb of a peasant. He lived among the people, shared their interests and concerns, and talked their language. In time the maiden grew to love him for who he was and because he had first loved her.

This very simple, almost child like story, written by one of the most brilliant minds of our time explains what we Christians mean by the incarnation. God came and lived among us. I am glad that this happened for two reasons. One, it shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that God is with us, that he is on our side, and that he loves us, and that He wants to save us from our sins. Secondly, it gives us a first hand view of what the mind of God is really all about. When people ask what God is like, we as Christians point to the person of Jesus Christ. God himself is incomprehensible. But in Jesus Christ we get a glimpse of his glory. In the person of Jesus we are told that God, that mysterious one that created the stars and the universe, that God is willing to go all of the way, even to a cross, so that a single person may be redeemed, that a single person might know forgiveness of sin and come into a personal relationship with Him, that's what God is like.
