Praise Him Every Minute, Day, and Week

Richard Forbes
Christian , Daily Devotional, Praising Jesus

The world is five sunrises away from Christmas morning, and the day when we will celebrate the birthday of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Thank God Almighty we aren’t still awaiting His birth, but celebrating that which has already come! As with the birthdays of my own children, we like to reminisce, and think about that day Jesus was born; it brings the same tears of joy to our eyes. Now He is with us always, every minute, day, and week... so join me in praising Him... listen to our week with Him...

Christmas, and the Second Coming; are we ready?

Richard Forbes
Christian , Daily Devotional , Second Coming

Are we prepared for the imminent return of Jesus Christ? Are we ready to rise from our homes, never to return, or have we been lulled to sleep by the spiritual complacency of the world, perhaps blinded by agents of darkness within the Christian Church itself? Maybe we have become like those who ignore the small problems until they finally break and and can’t be fixed, or will cost more to replace than they can afford to pay. It is imperative that we keep our faith at the ready, and watch second by second for the clouds to part, and for our savior to descend. Are our hearts, minds, and souls prepared, and waiting for Him in great anticipation? Do we earnestly pray “Come quickly Lord Jesus”, and honestly mean what we say?

Post-Christmas Depression, and overcoming it through Faith

For some people the day after Christmas is like falling off of an emotional cliff; the exciting and often hectic days of preparation for Christmas are over, and the emotional and spiritual exhilaration of Christmas Day with all its gifts, family, food, and worship, return to routine daily living once again. Some of us are glad for the rest, peace, and quiet, but others fall into a deep depression. The good news is that Jesus is there for us regardless of how we react, and to help us through each and every day and emotion we feel.

The Christmas Story, more than a Baby, it’s the Never Ending Story of Love

Christmas Day is but two days away, and when it arrives we will celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, but as we lift Him up in joyous song we should never forget why He was sent to us. All stories have a beginning, and are meant to have an end, the redemption story of our savior Jesus is no different. So as we celebrate the child being born to a virgin, we need to keep in mind His ministry, the empty tomb, and the second coming that we are still longing for.
