    Joy is a gift from God, is never experienced without challenges, and is something we are called upon to share.

    “An Impossible Joy” Luke 1: 39 – 45 Introduction A few weeks ago I heard on the news that there were impossibly huge line-ups as the new Sony Play Station came into stores.

    Ultimately, the birth of Jesus is about who gets glory. Glory to God!

    We haven’t spent too much time thinking about the way things were in the world when Jesus was born. I listened to a talk by speaker Rob Bell this week and I started thinking about what the world was like when Jesus was born. Look at Luke 2:1. In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus ...read more

    Why was the time when Jesus was born the right time? Why did God choose the land of Palestine as the birth place of Jesus? Why was 5 BC the year Jesus was born and not some other year?

    Semper Paratus Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 2, 2007
     | 3,791 views

    The inbreak of God, whether now or in the day of His return, is both judgment and blessing. But if we are always prepared, we can handle the judgment without being destroyed and can receive blessings even though disguised.

    If we prepare, we can handle just about anything. Preparation allows us to handle both negatives and positives. If we are ready, we can take the negatives and deal with the blows that fall on us. And if we are ready, we can also enjoy the positives and receive the blessings. When I was growing ...read more
