The Bible states: “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.” (Proverbs 14:34) Thus, revealing to us the pathway to becoming a great nation. “Great” being defined as: “Providing the greatest amount of liberty for the greatest number of people” in a nation.

This is what happened in America during the first three centuries of our existence. This was proven by the fact that so many people wanted to come here. Life was simply better here than in most other countries of the world. So, the people came. They still want to, even though we’ve lost much of the “righteousness” we once walked in. However, present backsliding does not take away from the truth of the righteousness that was walked in for the first two-thirds of our history. Indeed, if we’re going to Continue reading →

Ladies and gentlemen, the following story is why we have Christmas:

The Christmas Story1 “Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away [privately]. But when he thought on these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, ‘Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for…he…shall save his people from their sins.’ Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, ‘Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel; which is, being interpreted, God with us.’ And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife; and knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS.” Continue reading →

During the Christmas season, much is said and sung about Jesus coming to earth. Many love the warm, gentle thoughts of a little Baby being born and having His birth announced by angels. But how many actually ever ask the question: Why did Jesus come? We can only answer that from the Bible. Because, even though there is historical evidence that Jesus did live in Palestine in the first century, the only revelation to be found concerning why He came, is to be found in the Bible.

Jesus, Himself, declared His reason for coming in Luke 19:10; there He stated,

“…the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

But what does lost mean? To understand that, we must first understand why God made man in the first place.

God said concerning the creation of man:

“…Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion…over all the earth…”

It was God’s intent that we should “look, live, and rule” in this earth just as He does in heaven and in earth. To do this God, Himself, would have to come to live inside us, and through us, look like Himself, live like Himself, and rule like Himself. So God gave us a choice as to whether we would let Him come to live in and through us in this world. We chose to Continue reading →
