The Christmas Reality in Light of Today's Crises
IFB ^ | 12/21/14

Posted on 12/21/2014 5:27:18 AM PST by The Ignorant Fisherman

In light of today's many different faceted trials and plagues that are effecting our society and country's well being, may we tune into the reality of the glorious Christmas message that Almighty God has given to all people!

This Christmas Season, remember the REALITY of Christmas! A Savior was born, for you and for me! (Luke 2:1-20, Matt 1:18-25, 2:1-15, John 1:14)

The TRUE GIFT of Christmas is that Almighty God has provided a Savior to deliver Adam's fallen race from their sins (i.e., the transgressions against Almighty God's ETERNAL righteous standards).

Do you believe? Do you really believe? Or do you just celebrate a "Traditional Christmas".

What better way of celebrating this Christmas Season than to know the Savior of Christmas and the reality of the season.

"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" (John 3:16,17).

This Christmas, may your heart be open to receive the GIFT of the Lord Jesus Christ and to enjoy the reality of the season. A Savior was born and GIVEN to meet our deepest needs, here in Time and for Eternity.

Rejoice in the reality! Rejoice in the goodness of Almighty God! Rejoice that our sins can be forgiven! Rejoice that Almighty God has a great plan, purpose and future for our lives here in Time and for Eternity! All because a Savior was born! There is great hope! There is great expectancy! Believe and Receive this Christmas! (John 1:12)

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! (Phil 4:4)

May you have a Very Merry Reality Christmas this year!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Amen and Amen again.

Caught part of the news today on CNN and Fox. My fleeting thought of the moment as they discussed the ‘assassination’ of two officers, the anger at DeBlassio, and the anger at our leaders fomenting race hatred and bigotry. All this discussion set against a backdrop of ‘holiday’ decorations and it seemed very, very surreal. The words of the news people soon faded into a miserable hum of noise as my mind wondered, where is God today?

I read your blog a few times a week.As a retired shepherd I appreciate your zeal for the Word. We live in perilous times and for those not saved they truly are lost. I think it’s becoming so apparant now that more than ever the saving power of the Lord is the only thing that will save us, because the America so many relied on is going down an evil road.
Blessings to you Pastor!

I hear you my friend!

But as i believe you know God is very much here reaching out and warning America and the world to repent and be saved (John 1:10-12)... but American and mankind rather have lawlessness and godlessness (Romans 1:18-32). America has 86’ed Him and we as a nation are reaping the whirlwind.

Have faith in the Almighty my friend and not America or even conservatism. He is our only hope!
