The high cost of unforgiveness and bitterness! Where do we give? Why is the a shortage of preachers and missionaries? What do I foresee in the coming year? Some special thoughts to our friends in the Buffalo and northeast area!

God gives us 168 hours a week---10,800minutes yet we can't find 5 minutes to call someone or email or text them and say "I'm praying for you!" No time to go to church---no time to serve God??? One day the "secrets of all men's hearts will be known." The question will be "What did you do with your life?"

Spiders never just go away. You have to kill them otherwise they keep building more and more webs. You can clean the web out and next thing you know the spider is building a new one---over and over and over again---until you finally kill that spider. Many have a "secret place" in their life that Satan is repeatedly building webs and not until you name it and kill it will you ever be truly free and that only is possible through Jesus Christ and His power!

Sin will take you farther than you ever wanted to go! Like cancer it starts off so small then grows and grows and the biggest mistake people make is in thinking THEY can handle it---they can get out of it without the help of the one and only way out---Jesus Christ. There is not a sin He does not hate nor a sinner He does not love!

So often I have heard from people, "I just don't seem it be able to get a victory over---" There is a little known secret to actually winning a battle over sin that we will discuss in this message!

What do you do with a 13 year old female killer? What do you feel the truth is about the border crisis? How does the liberal gestapo control youth facilities? What will be your main emphasis in 2023? What is the difference between trusting Jesus and His Lordship?

The Shepards made haste to obey God! Mary and then Joseph made haste to obey when God spoke. Though what they were being told was certainly strange they obeyed when God spoke. In many of our cases God may speak but do we obey with haste or do we doubt, delay or simply ignore His call which is dangerous!

Is Jesus really Lord of your life? Are you totally surrendered to His will? What about when things we don't like happen? Friends turn on us? Loss of a loved one? Things just don't seem to be going our way? Most are ok with "some things" but if "All things work together for good"---then when do we quit trusting???

So often we forget the three messages the angel delivered to the Shepards that first Christmas night: Fear Not! Peace on earth and good will to men! So many fear when God's desire is it be well with us! And if the world needs anything it is the Peace that only can come from Him and good will towards men!

Complaining comes easy for many BUT counting our blessings---thanking Him for His goodness oft times doesn't. The Shunamite woman had just had her son die. When she came to the prophet and he asked---Is it well with you, your husband, your son? Her response was IT IS WELL! Learn today how she could say that and why!
