December 23, 2021 A Hallmark Christmas
I'm a Hallmark Christmas movie fan.
It's not something I admit very often, especially to my guy friends.
But its true.
Those sappy, predictable, feel-good stories get to me every time.
I just wish real life always ended on a happy note.
Don't you?
Unfortunately, that's not the way life works.
We face trials of every kind.
As soon as one ends, another comes along.
And many of these trials bring with them pain and sorrow and hurt.
That's just life.
You may be going through one of those difficult times right now.
If so, take heart.
You have a Savior, Christ the Lord.
One who loves you and gave himself for you.
And that's the real story of Christmas.

December 22, 2021 Joy
What's the one word that comes to mind when you think of Christmas?
For me, it is joy.
That's what the story of Christmas brings to human hearts.
"Listen to the words of the angel to the Shepherds, I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.
Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you, he is Christ the Lord."
Jesus makes the heart glad.
And that is so different from the fear, pain and sorrow that the world brings.
Let me ask.
Has the story of Christmas brought joy to your heart?
Have you welcomed Jesus as your Savior?
He was born for you, to forgive your sin and give you eternal life.
And that's cause for great joy.

December 21, 2021 What's in a Name?
What's in a name? Joseph found out when he was wrestling with what to do about Mary.
An angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and told him to take Mary as his wife and to give the baby she carried the name Jesus.
Why Jesus?
Because the name defines Christ's mission to save his people from their sins.
But that's not the only name Jesus would bear. He would be called Immanuel, which means God with us.
Immanuel tells us who he is God in human flesh.
And these two names tell the Gospel story. Jesus, through his death, saves us from our sins. Through his resurrected life, Jesus, God with us comes to live in and through us.
Whats in a name? When it comes to Jesus, our Immanuel, it is good news!

December 20, 2021 Have You Done Enough?
Have you done enough?
I mean enough to earn your place in heaven.
My friend Gaston wasn't sure.
Weeks before he died, he told me point blank.
"Bob, I haven't done enough. I wish I could go back and redo so many parts of my life."
These were sad words to hear.
You see, no one can work their way into Heaven. No one can do enough.
But here is the good news.
Jesus did enough to cover everyone.
And he did it so that the righteous requirements of the law would be fulfilled in you.
If you are worried that you haven't done enough, let that worry go.
Rest in Christ's finished work.
When you do, the peace of God will fill your heart.

December 19, 2021 A Friend of God
Abraham was called a friend of God.
James tells us why.
Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.
What this meant for Abraham is that God clued him in on his plans.
He told Abraham what he was up to.
Now this holds true for you.
You are a friend of God, because God made you righteous when you believed the good news.
Jesus explained the significance to his disciples.
"The servant", he said, "does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you."
Jesus calls you his friend. Which means he will clue you in on what he is up to in your life.

December 18, 2021 Lift the Veil
2 Corinthians 3:15 is a strange verse.
It reads, " to this day, whenever Moses is read a veil lies over their hearts".
The passage is clear that Paul is referring to the Old Covenant or as he called it, "the ministry of death, carved in letters of stone".
What in the world does this verse mean
That we should never read the Old Testament.
Of course not.
It simply means this. thinking that salvation or living the Christian life is achieved through obedience to the law, veils the heart to the new life God gives and empowers by grace through faith.
The law kills.
The Spirit gives life.
If you are having trouble seeing your way forward as a Christian, turn your eyes to the Lord.
He will lift that veil.
