“As a young man marries a virgin, so does your God desire to marry you.” Christmas and the Eucharist embody the 3 movements of spousal love: PRESENCE, SACRIFICE, COMMUNION

“A nation of firm purpose you keep in peace; in peace for its trust in you.” Trust is not spoken; it is lived. “Everyone who listens and acts will make their house on rock…but not everyone who says ‘Lord, Lord’ will enter the Kingdom.”

Anxious and lonely America worships the unholy trinity of me, myself, and I. The shepherds and kings did not go to the Inn with the rest of the world. They went to Him. Where do I spend my time?

Isaiah is utterly convinced of the goodness and greatness of God, yet He never knew Jesus. I do know Jesus…am I as convinced as Isaiah the prophet?

“Stand erect and raise your heads, for your redemption is at hand.” Do I live at the Inn or the manger? Do I want the lights of the world, or the LIGHT of the world?

“The Spirit of the LORD will rest upon him…Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit.” Do I rejoice in the Spirit and let the Spirit of the LORD rest upon me? Where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is FREEDOM.

“From the place where He dwells He gazes on all the dwellers of the earth. He who shapes the hearts of them all.” He just wants to be with us! Will we let Him fight for us?

“In no one in Israel have I found such faith.” Do I live like the centurion or an Israelite in the presence of Jesus. Be bamboo!

Worry makes me Weird; Jesus makes me Free. “I through the greatness of your love, have access to your house.”
