A Blue Christmas

/0 Comments/in /by

Have you ever heard of the song, “Blue Christmas?” Elvis Presley used to sing it. Its about a man who is feeling down because his loved one is not with him on Christmas. Hes pretty depressed, really, and thats how a lot of people feel during the holidays. They feel alone, afraid and uncared for.

Maybe you or someone you know is going through a “Blue Christmas.” Perhaps you have had a disappointment this year. A tornado… a flood? Maybe youve lost a job. Maybe a family member died or theres something else that just didnt turn out the way you had planned.

The truth is: We live in a sinful, fallen world. Things dont always happen the way we expect. But the miracle of Christmas is hope because when Jesus Christ comes into our lives, hope comes alive. We have hope because God is with us. He is good and He will never leave us. Jesus comes to live in our hearts and transform us, giving us strength for today and hope for tomorrow.

If your friend is depressed, this Christmas invite her or him over for some hot cider. Encourage them with the promise found in Romans 8:28, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him.”

An interesting survey was recently done by the Barna Group. They asked young people to share what kind of perceptions came to mind when the word Christianity was mentioned. The top three observations that came to mind about Christians were: anti-homosexual, judgmental, and hypocritical. Thats pretty sad, isnt it?

Now, Im not saying that all Christians exhibit these kinds of attitudes. But its important to realize that theres a reason many people have very negative perceptions of Christianity. Thats why I believe each one of us should examine our own hearts and minds in light of this topic.

We need to remember that were all sinners. Even the apostle Paul said in First Timothy, “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners – of whom I am the worst!” You and I dont need to point out peoples sins to them – thats the Holy Spirits job!

Think about how Jesus treated the lost. He loved people right where they were at. And because of that, sinners lives were changed. They believed. They wanted to follow the Lord.

Christs perfect balance of love, grace, and truth is a great example for us all to follow.

The Unfinished Task

/0 Comments/in /by

The unfinished task is the task of winning the world to Jesus Christ. This is the one job that will never be finished – no matter how hard or how long we work. For you workaholics listening, that is good news! We will always have work to do!

But, even though there will always be people who need to hear about Jesus Christ, dont be discouraged. Let that fact make your resolve to share your faith even stronger! Remember what it says in Timothy? “God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.” I think this power, love, and self-discipline is holy boldness. Boldness to tell our world about Christ.

Are you willing to be filled with holy boldness? Do you sense the urgency of our unfinished task?

Make yourself available to share Gods Good News with others. He will honor you. As a worker in Gods harvest, filled with holy boldness, you will not be disappointed. Winning the world to Jesus Christ is an enormous task. But, lets not give up. Lets press on together.

Beth’s Story

/in /by

Do you think that miracles only happened back in biblical times? If you think that, youre mistaken, my friend. That is simply not true! There is lots of proof of Gods miracles – He is alive and active today!

Beth has a miracle story that she shared with me, and I want to share with you. At just 28 years of age, Beth was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia – a type of blood cancer. She did not know Jesus Christ. She spent 8 months in the hospital and thats where she came to know Jesus.

She wrote to me and said that her life is now “in the hands of God.” Then, a miracle happened! Beth wrote me and said that she has been Leukemia-free for four years now. Thats a miracle! Thank You, Jesus!

The book of Job tells us that God “performs wonders that cannot be fathomed and miracles that cannot be counted.”

To celebrate His miracles, we must SHARE His miracles. Will you do that today? Tell someone what God is doing in your life. Remind them of His miracles. Your story just may lead them to Christ. What could be better than that?
