By, Linda De Silva God promised that one of her descendants would defeat Satan, who had tricked her into disobeying Him. Adam and the entire human race had become involved in ignoring God and going on with their sinful lifestyle.

A WORLD IN MOTION – PART 3
A star in motion … Wise men in motion … Herod in motion … Joseph-Mary in motion … More wise men in motion … Angels in motion … Shepherds in motion … A Child in motion… And all because God was in motion! A prophetic promise had been made to men by God (Genesis 3:15)Continue reading “A WORLD IN MOTION – PART 3”
A WORLD IN MOTION – PART II
While “a Star” was edging wise men from the East toward Jerusalem, a decree was being enacted by Caesar Augustus to register and tax the folk under his control. A young couple, Joseph and Mary, in obedience to that decree, headed toward Bethlehem from Nazareth. Enough is spelled out in the Gospels to give clarityContinue reading “A WORLD IN MOTION – PART II”
A WORLD IN MOTION – PART I

There had been aContinue reading “A WORLD IN MOTION – PART I”
THE REAL REASON FOR THE SEASON
(Used with permission from a dear friend, Linda DeSilva) Tomorrow is the first Sunday in Advent. Why and how should we celebrate Christmas?

IsContinue reading “THE REAL REASON FOR THE SEASON”

However, celebrating Christmas in itself, and with others, was a definite part ofContinue reading “SANTA CLAUS AIN’T COMING TO TOWN”
CHRISTMAS DAY 2019
“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.” Matthew 1:23 Everything about Christmas celebration has become so befuddled that one has to wonder— if I were in a situation that exposed me to radio or television for the first timeContinue reading “CHRISTMAS DAY 2019”
WISE MEN DONT WANDER
He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him. John 14:21 Wise men don’t wander, but they do wonder; they wonder in the magnificence of the Babe of Bethlehem.Continue reading “WISE MEN DONT WANDER”
CHRIST WAS BORN
With permission from the author, our dear friend and brother in Christ, Clive Price, we share with you this poem. ‘Twas the night before Christmas And all you could hear Were stories of Santa And his eight little reindeer. The air waves crackled With sounds of the season, But few there were That knew theContinue reading “CHRIST WAS BORN”
