Genesis 32:10  "I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant:"

Every day we live, we stand in jeopardy of sin and evil; out of which the Lord so often delivers.  We can prayerfully thank him for deliverance, but never could we claim to merit it.   Editor

"And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.  For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."  (Luke 2:10-11)

The day finally come that all was looking forward to, the Christ had come.  Yet it might not have been as they had come to believe, but the greatest of all gifts had come into the world.  If we could picture in our minds of what what had just taken place before them.  This was good news, this is the theme of the gospel  I bring you good tidings of great joy.  "For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."  I may stand back and look upon this day and all we may see is a babe lying in a manger, but oh so more than that, he is the lamb of God that took away the sin of the world.  He is the King of kings and Lord of Lords.  He is God with us, he is the great (I Am), he is the Son of God, and he is God manifested in the flesh.  In John chapter one we read, "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."

 “About Listening”

 

Listening is hard to do when you are answering.

If folks learned as much by talking as they do by

listening, there would be a lot more geniuses. 

 

The three most important things to do, when you

are visiting sick folks:   Listen, listen, listen.


Folks appreciate a slow listener more than a fast talker.

 

A good preacher, is one that can listen at least as

good as he can preach.

 
 

 

 

Please know that "times and season" change, but fundamental PRINCIPLES remain the same. Holy Write (OT & NT) was written over the course of the history of time; scenery changes but the TRUTH stays the same -- Gen 8:22; Ecc. 1:2-11; 3:1; Mal 3:6; Heb 13:8.  So Holy Writ stays a BRAND NEW antique.
