Our attitude should not be to judge other people, but in humility, we should be thankful to God for our salvation and be ready to share the Gospel with others.

God’s command to forgive as we have been forgiven is not optional and should be taken seriously. The forgiveness that Jesus showed us in forgiving all of our sins should be reflected in the way we forgive other people.

Jesus was born the king of a new kingdom, where we all have the opportunity to find forgiveness of sins and freedom from guilt.

John the Baptist reminds us during this Advent season that personal change and repentance is necessary. What a wonderful gift it would be for Jesus – to give him a changed heart and life that totally lives for him!

There are many things that cause us to lose focus on what the birth of Jesus means. Gift giving, parties, family gatherings, all the fun stuff, are certainly appropriate in moderation. Fill yourself first with the peace of God through Jesus Christ. He’s all we really need for Christmas!

The threat of sin, Satan, and evil angels. The fall of Satan, the warfare, and angels protecting us. God and his angels are more powerful

The problem of anger and how we handle that emotion is an epidemic today. God has a better plan and gives us the tools we need to combat the self righteous anger we often feel towards others.

God wants us to be on the path that leads to him and growing in wisdom is part of that process.

Because of God’s great love for us, he encourages us to follow his guidelines for happiness in our marriages and homes. Because we are sinful, we will continue to struggle. But Jesus forgives us, offers us his perfect example, and gives us strength and power to choose to make changes.

We were designed to represent God to other people. One way we can do that is by

displaying an attitude of humility. Jesus went first and gives us the forgiveness, inspiration, and power to do this.
