    We live in a world where ‘good news’ usually means your phone finally connected to Wi-Fi. But the Gospel is the original good news—and it’s far more life-changing than a strong signal.

    Happiness does not come from anything this-worldly. If you restrict happiness and joy to material things, you are doomed to disappointment.

    Happiness Is . . . When I was in my teens, it was still legal to advertise cigarettes on television, so we were often overwhelmed with those kinds of commercials.

    Christmas Significa Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jul 11, 2021
     | 2,889 views

    The real beauty and power of Christmas is how it is as mundane as it is holy, secular as it is sacred, temporal as it is eternal, physical as it is spiritual, worldly as it is heavenly … and this is by design.

    Today’s scripture reading reminds me of Christmas hymns like “Angles We Have Heard on High” in which the angels “sweetly sing o’er the plans” (UMH, verse 1; p.238) or “Hark! the Herald Angels Sing” … “glory to the newborn King” (UMH, verse 1; p. 240). Songs like these beautifully capture the drama ...read more

    Christians are to be readily recognizable. They are to be seperate from worldly persons. However, it is most difficult to identify one in a crowd in the modern world. Why?

    In western culture and its influence upon all the rest of mankind, depicting Christians from the rest of the world is most difficult today. The only differences we see come from diverse groups who outwardly show differences in their dress and chosen culture. Outward differences among all others are ...read more
