This account by Luke, the Physician, to a dignitary named Theophilus provides detailed accurate insight into the birth of John the Baptist and events in Mary's life that explain the unique birth of Jesus.

The Word was made flesh in Jesus of Nazareth.  He was truly God and Man, and as such made a Better Covenant to fulfill God's promise in Jeremiah 31.  This Good News must be experienced and then shared abroad.  Failure here explains our societal decline.

This was originally presented December 4, 2011 - 10 years ago.  Matthew 13, verse 44, is opened in a unique manner for careful consideration.

It is frequently necessary to return to a former location to retrieve something of value that has been forgotten and left behind.  This message has been returned from January 1, 2012 and is entitled, "The Gift Of A New Name".  

The Apostle Paul was commissioned to proclaim the Gospel of Christ.  Grace Alone was his emphatic message.  However, it was the "hearing with faith" and not "the works of the Law" that resulted in dramatic transformation of pagan lives.  We need that emphasis now.

The discussion centers on the return of paganism in contemporary society, drawing parallels to nature reclaiming abandoned places. The speaker highlights the biblical confrontation of paganism through the 10 Commandments and the exclusive salvation through Jesus Christ. Alvin Schmidt's book, "How Christianity Changed the World," is referenced to illustrate Christianity's historical impact on morality, ethics, and societal structures. The speaker emphasizes the decline of Christian values, citing increasing rates of cremation, abortion, and infanticide, and calls for Christians not to compromise with paganism, urging adherence to biblical teachings.

We are responsible for bringing our thoughts into obedience to Christ.  This permits reliable insight into trends and ideologies in the larger society.  As always, profitable public offerings begin with careful personal accountability.

Isa 59:19  So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.
