    We turn our successes into failures because we see only the negatives, and we need approval. But in the Incarnation God accepts our incompleteness and offers us His unconditional love.

    All of us want success. All of us need success. If you don’t care about doing something well, you are in sad shape. You are in trouble if you don’t want to succeed at something. And yet the problem is that we are our own worst enemies. We defeat ourselves time and time again. We take ...read more

    In the book of Isaiah, God has been prophesying judgement and destruction upon the nation of Israel. Then all of a sudden, this wonderful prophecy is given - a prophecy about a child who will deliver them from the darkness. As Christians we know this pr

    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

    We experience the Christmas touch of God as we personally give the gift of ourselves to God and experience both belonging and forgiveness.

    It was a few days before Christmas on the Oregon coast. Two men whose families lived next door opted to go sailing while their wives went Christmas shopping. An unexpected storm surprised the weekend sailors. Before long, the sea became angry, and the two had a difficult time keeping the sailboat ...read more

    How God Calms His Children

    We can rejoice because God calms us with the promise that he is with us to save us.

    “Calm” is probably the last word that would characterize these few days before Christmas. This is especially true for children. I remember when I was a child – waiting for Christmas seemed to be an eternity. And the closer the holiday came, the more excited I would become. Sometimes, moms and ...read more

    The Light has come to dispell the darkness of the humna heart. Come, walk in His self-revelation.

    A Greater Than Edison Is Here! Isaiah 9:2,6-7 AS WE MAKE OUR JOURNEY THROUGH THE ADVENT SEASON, one symbol is preeminent—LIGHT! Tree lights, candle lights, houses, buildings, and malls decorated with lights. Perhaps it’s a parable of our times that we are rarely without ...read more

    Some people are prepaired for Christmas in an automatic sence and others never seem to be ready.

    Be Prepared Luke 21:25-36 Be prepared, the Boy Scout motto. When I was a scout, I took that motto seriously. It paid off several times. The time Doug Pine smacked into a pine tree and cut his eye. (coincidence not really, his life was full of unfortunate coincidences) I was right on the ...read more

    A look at the different ways that the name of Jesus is Wonderful.

    For most people the only contact they have with the Old Testament Prophet Isaiah is Christmas time. And they probably don’t realize it then. It’s on Christmas cards and in Christmas Carols. These words that Ruth read for us earlier, Isaiah 9: 6 For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is ...read more

    The news of Mary’s pregnancy to Joseph as a reminder that God has a plan and is with us in troubled times.

    Life seemed good for Joseph, he was betrothed to a wonderful God fearing woman, Mary, which in their culture meant they were practically married already except they would live apart while the husband would make a home for them, typically adding a room onto his father’s home. So here was Joseph ...read more
