“. . . what Christians believe is based not on myth or tradition but on fact. The Bible is indeed ‘God-breathed’ (2 Timothy 3:16), written by men who ‘spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit’ (2 Peter 1:21). If you have chosen to make Jesus your Lord, know that your decision is reasonable and logical. Faith in Christ is not a leap into the dark, but into the light”–Jim Denison.
“Great faith is faith that takes God at His Word and will not let go until God meets the need. Great faith can lay hold of even the slightest encouragement and turn it into a fulfilled promise. ‘Lord, increase our faith'”–Warren Wiersbe, Be Diligent, 93.
“As for the entertainment world, what does one even say at a time like this? Calling for gun control and then entertaining the masses with bloodshed is only shifting the locus from law to entertainment. Do our entertainers ever pause to ask what debased values emerge from their stories? The death of decency is audible and visible in what passes as movie entertainment and political speech. This is the same culture that wishes to take away Nativity scenes and Christmas carols from our children. God is evicted from our culture and then He is blamed for our carnages. American is lost on the high seas of time, without chart or compass. The storms that await us will sink this nation beyond recognition if we do not awaken to the rapid repudiation of the values that shaped this nation. The handwriting is on the wall. Freedom is not just destroyed by its retractiion. It is destroyed even more painfully by its abuse”–Ravi Zacharias.
“A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children; she refused to be consoled, because they were no more” (Matthew 2:18).
“For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace”–(Isaiah 9:6, NASB).

Mayans have ended their epoch measurement and we continue.
The following is from “The Roving Fisherman” by Duffie Bryant syndicated writer for the “Arkansas Weekly;”
“Traditions at Christmas, and on other holidays and special occasions, are important. They are important, not only for the children, but for the grown-ups, too. It reminds us that in a world that is changing faster and faster, there is one thing that stays the same – God’s Love for us, and our Love for one another.”
May we remember Jesus Paid the Price for a Purpose in God’s Plan. For that Reason the Apostle Paul wrote explaining His step (The Step of God in Christ Jesus to bring us back into line for the Purpose of His People) to enable us to take the following steps as outlined in Romans and consolidated and explained in Romans 12 and following.
