"Faith" without works is dead. And your actions reveal if you possess the faith you profess.

Stop favoring the wealthy over the poor. Instead, love ALL people as yourself.

Kill your sins with God's Word. By hearing it AND doing it. And become both loving and holy.

God's wisdom gives me the right perspective...on riches and poverty. On trials and temptation. On God's goodness.

Ask our generous God for wisdom and you'll receive it! If you ask in faith.

Regard even terrible suffering as joyful. Because God's purpose is your steadfast faith. Which yields full Christian maturity.

Jesus gladly welcomes sinners. Jesus diligently pursues sinners. Jesus rescues helpless sinners. Jesus rejoices over saved sinners. Jesus invites us to celebrate with Him.

Jesus was born humbly, but He is the real holy king! And His birth is good news for all people. Because He is the Lord & the Savior who gives us peace. And He is worthy of worship!

Praise God, who kept the Davidic Covenant. Praise God, who kept the phrophets' promises of salvation. Praise God, who kept the Abrahamic Covenant. Praise God, who kept the Messianic prophecies.

John's birth brings grace and mercy. Holy reverence. And an opportunity for renewal.
