This solidified my need to work out the question: What kind of parents raise a Mary or a Joseph? What kind of father was Noah that his sons (and their wives) followed his “crazy” vision from God to build a massive boat? 12/22/25
Happy Sunday, everyone! We are so grateful you are here, reading and interacting with our Blogmas posts. Enjoy this Christmas hymn, written by Rend Collective! We sang it in church this morning and it was encouragement to us. We hope it is also an encouragement to you this evening. 12/21/25
As we made our way through the Ark, there were various rooms full of biblical and historical facts which presented boldly and clearly the truth about God’s cleansing of the world. However, there was one spot that stood out to me the most. Let me tell you that after walking through it and seeing all of the depictions… It seemed too familiar. 12/20/25
I’ll confess that the older I’ve become, the more grateful I am for Amazon. Online purchasing is a lot easier and less stressful than making the annual pilgrimage to all the stores. However, my goal in this short little article is to have you, the reader, consider your preparedness, not for Christmas, but for the second coming of Christ. 12/19/25
You see, a father was silenced, but a nation was saved. A priest doubted, but a prophet was raised. Perhaps God’s discipline was never about punishment, but rather formation. Perhaps Zechariah’s silence was not the end of his voice, but the ultimate refining of it. 12/18/25
Two years ago, Vic, my husband went to be with Jesus. Over the last 2 years, I have been faced with lots of choices to make by myself. I have quickly learned that to walk victoriously in my life with Christ Jesus, my choices must be based on the Word of God. 12/17/25
If our own Savior, the Creator of all things, the ultimate Divine power of the world, deemed victory through and over death the ultimate plan of redemption, should we not also throw ourselves headlong into battle? 12/16/25
Reclamation requires us to turn away from worldly things and focus on inward things; to recollect the past and ask the Holy Spirit to guide us in discovering the good there that can be used for our healing. At the heart of our reclamation is a return to our soul’s relationship with God as our maker, and as the keeper of our past, present, and future. 12/15/25
Happy Sunday! We are so enjoying Blogmas and pray y’all are as well! Enjoy this rich and meaningful poem by G. K. Chesterton today. 12/14/25
Instead of settling for what is quick and convenient, how about we take our time, and remember that maybe “a drive thru” kind of Christmas will never truly satisfy the longings we all have. 12/13/25
You see, when we decide to come to the King Jesus, the one true King, there will be Herods that rise up within us and around us. Things that you may not picture as your King, but you have personally placed them on the thrones of your life. And they will do anything to retain their position; they will muster up every weapon they have and try to defeat you coming to King Jesus. 12/12/25
Mohr allowed suffering to produce something beautiful and eternal, and so can we. He quieted his soul and rooted himself in the eternal, lasting hope of Christmas and Christ’s coming. Not only was his little village of Oberndorf changed that Christmas, but the rest of the world was too. 12/11/25
As my mind lingered on that wondrous night long ago in a Bethlehem stable, the image of the swaddled baby resting in a manger stayed with me. He was just here. Nothing else mattered in that moment. Instead of doing a bunch of things you think will bring about blessings and Christmas-y feelings, the reality is blessings and miracles already surround us. Jesus is already here. He’s in you and me, always. 12/10/25
Brothers and sisters, I also say to you, especially during this Christmas season, every encounter you have with another person, family, friend, co-worker, stranger, is a chance to improve their quality of life. You have the Good News; the simple Gospel, that WILL change the course of every person’s life and death. Every encounter is a chance. 12/8/25
The question before us, then, is what would honor the men of that day? What would those that gave their last full measure of devotion to this great nation think about our country today and what we have done with their willing sacrifice? 12/7/25
Scott has accepted Jesus, and I praise the Lord for that because if it wasn’t for Scott being a dead man walking and dying to himself and accepting Jesus, my life would be very different. I’d be a dead man walking; walking a mile straight to Hell. 12/6/25
I mean really. This is not sitting in a warm cabin in front of the fire. These are the 3rd shift working guys. They're outside, in the field, watching a bunch of dirty sheep. There's no pomp and stature here man. These are the guys getting the job done in a less than inviting environment. And here comes the first noel. 12/5/25
So today, on December 4th, I’m choosing to simply sit with the Lion who weeps, and perhaps that’s what you need, too. Not someone to fix it. Not someone to explain it. Just Someone who knows. Someone who says, “My child, I know.” 12/4/25
As this Christmas season approaches, I want to challenge you to do more than simply go through the motions—attending church services, joining Bible studies, or listening to the classic Christmas songs without truly reflecting on their meaning. Really dig into your Bible; read it, study it, and seek to truly understand it. Pray for the strength to completely surrender whatever is weighing you down. 12/3/25
We must ensure that evil can never be birthed merely by our inaction. For inaction is what darkness craves most. A people easily conquered are a people plagued by indecision and lack of conviction. As you set out to celebrate Christmas, understand that every decision you make has the power to expand or shrink the darkness around you. 12/2/25
