STARRY-EYED

“They were overjoyed at seeing the star.” –Matthew 2:10 For centuries, astronomers have tried to determine which celestial body was the star of Bethlehem. In the book of Numbers, it was prophesied that the star not only led the wise men to Jesus, but that the star was Jesus (Nm 24:17). Jesus is “the Morning Star shining bright” (Rv 22:16). Paul taught that not only was Jesus like a star, but also we, Jesus’ disciples, are “like the stars in the sky while holding fast to the word of life” “in the midst of a twisted and depraved generation” (Phil...

Today, we pray for those from other faiths

Lord Jesus, we pray for everyone who is not a Christian – our brothers and sisters who are walking the journey of life beside us, loving us and helping us, but not knowing You. We pray the Holy Spirit’s love saturates us so much that they see You in us. May we become Your voice, touch and hands to all. Help us to live sincere to You alone, even unto death. Let the man-made walls of religion come down. May nothing that the devil plants, separate us. A special prayers for Christians who live in disagreement and discord within various...

“O HOLY NIGHT”

“If you consider the holiness that is His, you can be sure that everyone who acts in holiness has been begotten by Him.” –1 John 2:29 One of the main purposes of the Christmas season is to grow in holiness – to become more like God, to take on God’s character. This holy Christmas time begins a holy year in a holy life, which begins a holy, eternal life. The Lord has created us to be holy as He is holy (see 1 Jn 3:3), to be “perfect in holiness” (1 Thes 5:23). We should “hunger and thirst for holiness”...

Thank you for being with us in all our joys and sorrows, for your comfort in our sadness, your companionship in our loneliness. Thank you for yesterday, today, tomorrow and for the whole of our lives. Thank you for friends, for health and for grace, for unknown blessings on their way. For food, water and clean air. May we live every day conscious of all that has...

TRUTH SERUM

“Who is the liar?” –1 John 2:22 As we begin the new year, we are asked the question: “Who is the liar?” The answers to this question are: “He who denies that Jesus is the Christ” (1 Jn 2:22). “The Antichrist, denying the Father and the Son” (1 Jn 2:22). “The man who claims, ‘I have known Him,’ without keeping His commandments” (1 Jn 2:4). The devil is also a liar (Jn 8:44). Yet he is more than that. He is “the father of lies” (Jn 8:44). He starts, expands, connects, and manages lies to form a culture of death....
