    The Two Lords

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 3, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,697 views

    David foresees a future in which the LORD stretches out the sceptre of Jesus from Mount Zion.

    THE TWO LORDS. Psalm 110. The first thing that strikes us about this passage is the superscription: “A Psalm of David.” The Davidic authorship of this Psalm was taken for granted by all parties in the days of Jesus and the Apostles. Jesus goes so far as to say that David spoke these words ‘by ...read more

    Like Scrooge, we too can reclaim Christmas, with the help of the “spirits” of Christmas Past, Present, and Future

    “The Spirits of Christmas” “Bah, Humbug!” shouted Ebenezer Scrooge, using a mild Victorian form of profanity, meaning “nonsense” or “rubbish”. Charles Dickens depicted Scrooge as the epitome of all cynics hardened to the holiday spirit. Scrooge was stingy, selfish, and heartless. Later on Dr ...read more

    Echoes That Will Not Die

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 3, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,976 views

    In the song of the angels we hear echoes of our ancient problems -- meaning, sin, peace -- all of which are dealt with in the coming of Christ.

    The drama of Christmas is focused on a starlit night at a manger, on a mother and a babe, on the small things of life. And yet it is also wide open to eternity, it is a window into past and present and future. The drama of Christmas seems to play on such ordinary things. Tax legislation; taxes, ...read more

    Everyone is so concerned about "Merry Christmas" verses "Happy Holidays". What about the context of either saying? Are you going through a good time in life? Then it is Merry but if you're going through a rough patch it can feel like salt in a wound.

    Please open your Bibles to Luke 2:8-20 which we will read in a few minutes. In this part of the narrative of the Christmas story we read of the encounter of the angels with the shepherds on the night of the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem.

    On that first Christmas it seems that no one was "home for Christmas" and yet Jesus was born to give us the promise a home with Him forever. What can that promise mean to us?

    (Singing this acapella) “I'll be home for Christmas, you can plan on me. Please have snow and mistletoe and presents on the tree. Christmas Eve will find me where the lovelight gleams. I'll be home for Christmas if only in my dreams.” That Christmas song was written back in 1924, but it ...read more
